One wonders what she would do if someone posted a personal jab at something about her appearance? This is a very juvenile post and equally juvenile to actually publish. One has to wonder about the collective IQ of some of the posters here. minister against bad tastenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-7415078263832725362013-07-01T08:30:48.313-05:002013-07-01T08:30:48.313-05:0012:42 PM

So far he has only won one election, although he claimed in an affidavit to have been re-elected. This was blatant nonsense. <br /><br />His presence on the previous term of council resulted from his being hand-picked by "she who is no longer."<br /><br />But in all seriousness, how does he manage to keep that stiff curl in his hair? Does it hurt when he sleeps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-48081949909838100022013-06-30T08:37:34.684-05:002013-06-30T08:37:34.684-05:006:34 PM

A man from one of the political parties offered her five dollars for her vote. "A windfall!" When her husband was horrified that she had accepted a bribe, she said, "I took the money, Herman, and then I voted the way I wanted."<br /><br />Ms. Renzetti then muses about the many things that might have occupied her grandmother as she trudged down a dirt road to cast her ballot. She voted.<br /><br />We then come into present time and "what's Pamela Wallin's excuse" for not having voted in the last federal, provincial or municipal election due to work schedule and travel?<br /><br />Some possibles:<br /><br />"Perhaps a tiger was loose on the streets. Three times. Or was she at a barn dance in Wadena? Might it have been a meeting of Porter Airlines, where she once sat on the board of directors? Maybe she was on tour with Burton Cummings."<br /><br />It's difficult to believe that someone of Ms. Wallin's experience would have written a letter to Senate administrators admitting to not having exercised her franchise on three occasions.<br /><br />Ms. Wallin may be experienced but she also reveals her callous ignorance in writing the letter that she did. She should be booted from the Senate and have to work in the sanitation department of a Wadena motel, presuming there is one there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-65033779139470846412013-06-29T18:34:17.532-05:002013-06-29T18:34:17.532-05:00Your story about Mr Gallo's arrogant approach ...
