The Briar Patch

Annoyed is how I would describe myself right now. The last few weeks have been so annoying for some reason.Maybe its the grey sky, maybe its my itchy nuts I dunno. It might be my coffee is cold and needs a refill. First the NDP won the government in Alberta. While I have not passed full judgement yet I fear for our province. The this dumb twat who took some stupid pics is all over the news. I already gave my opinion of her, it is no longer news so lets move on. Also the PC party are like rats on a sinking ship. While Jimmy boy takes responsibility, he ain't the only one to blame. The whole group was cocky enough to call a devastating election and now they realize it? But again I push all this back and wait hoping I don't get to use my told ya so sign. The Stanley cup playoffs suck this year. First off the Kings didn't even make it. Then Detroit went out in the first round. They had 2 chances to finish the Lightning and failed. Then Ovi let me down, they had 3 chances to...

I don't even know were to start. The PC was "The Party" in Alberta. As close to a true Dynasty in the modern democratic world as there ever has been. And they were lucky enough to b in control of one of the richest provinces around. Some how they blew it! Not even blew it they imploded. From an uncontested ruling party to a group that all together couldn't vote down anything, even with the help of every other party. How did they get there?? And what is in store for this great land of Alberta. First off, poor leadership choices. King Ralph was one of the most loved leaders this province has ever known. He was an every man. Not a party made John Everyman but a real down to earth hard drinking Albertan. Hell in an infamous picture he is drinking with the Hells Angels. In another one he is giving the "bird" to someone, I assume a journalist.  But he knew when his run was done and stepped down. They replaced him with a farmer. Seriously?? Nothing against you fa...

Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Jim Prentice. Brilliant politicians. This isn't a hero worship article about Jimmy. But my hat is off to him. 2 years ago he was a minor blip. Now he is the leader of the party in control of the wealthiest province in Canada. On top of that, it is sounding like he is about to drive a dagger into the heart of all opposition and guarantee 4 uncontested years. Part of me is thinking he is sitting somewhere at this second drinking Ace with a crown on his head saying kiss the ring bitch. How did he get here? I dunno but was Jimmy a schemer or how did he end up on top? First off I won't use the term PC cause really Alberta is a one party state. How many years have they had control??Exactly, so ya really they are the party. What 3 years ago it was when it looked like the party might fall? Danni girl was making a run. But the party came from nowhere and squashed all opposition. Danni made a small dent but Alice was the queen and all was right in Alberta, were wa...
