Evelyn:
Maureen Dowd this morning proves
that leadership can even survive politics.
When will leadership surface
in Aurora?
*******************
Much as I detest the no-holds-barred Republican ads in the campaign for the American Presidency;
Much as the media frenzy irritates; I am totally addicted to the incomparable drama of American politics.
Staged events have nothing to do with it.
Who could have predicted Hurricane Sandy, the hundred year storm that would put long- stride President Obama ,front and centre, and sideline the short-stepping challenger.
With the terrible costs of damage from the storm, comes hundreds of thousands of employment opportunities.
Even in the depression, President Roosevelt had to make work . .
Will Romney insist only the private sector can handle it properly ?
Will tragedy and helplessness stand up to Romney's argument that government has no role in the affairs of the nation?
That profit alone signifies success and money by itself, dictates measurement of need ?
No fiction writer could have come up with a better twist to the story,
How great it is to be able to read the New York Times, Maureen Dowd and other outstanding journalists, within minutes of publication.
The Toronto Star is planning to set up a firewall to compel on-line readers to pay .
Yesterday's story on the report of the unbelievably, unintelligent Ontario Ombudsman, Andre Marin, is one good reason I will not be buying.
No member of Aurora Council could fail to stand up in comparison to that individual
Yet he has been appointed by several provincial governments to act as judge, jury and executioner.
He has wallowed in the public trough for a couple of decades already.
Ration your use of Times articles, Evelyn. When you hit 10, the hammer falls. We tried to explain about a computer on the blink and they weren't having any of it.

ReplyDeleteMaureen's columns normally appear Wednesdays and Sundays.
Only one left before the vote that rocks the world.
Expect she will eviscerate the 'mitten.'
What will be even more fun will be her post-election analysis.
Can hardly wait.
Your comments about "long stride and short stepping made me laugh. I just happened to notice the other day Mr. Romney's gait and you are right about the short steps. He walks like a little girl.
ReplyDeleteBut Mr Marin has no teeth. He says himself that he just interviews people and that is why they should all agree.
ReplyDeleteWhich might be the reason for his recent remarks. He wants teeth. Hasn't proved why he should have any but the Municipal Act is a joke.
