Palin Bailing, Mario's Desperation and Dick " ignorant " Pound

      Palin is being accused by McCain" aides of  " going rogue " and being a " diva ". I guess it's the fault of all those designer clothes they bought for her. Even the largest newspaper in Alaska, the Anchorage Daily News, has endorsed Obama, saying that it is too " risky " to put her " one 72 year old heartbeat away from the leadership of the w.

     Palin"s approval rating is sinking to the low 40%, and she is becoming more and more a liability. Her attempts to score with women who supported Hillary has failed miserably and was an insult to them, when she asked them to support her because she is a woman. She has little in common with these women on social issues....as mayor she charged rape victims for rape kits that were used , until the Alaskan government stepped in and stopped  it.

     The infighting and finger-pointing between the two camps is getting more and more bitter and public. She is being accused of positioning herself for 2112, " she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party " , a McCain aide told CNN. 

     In the meantime the well-oiled and financed, Obama machine is rolling up support even in Republican states. It looks like a landslide.   

       On the home front, the sorcerer's apprentice, Mario Dumont is in a deep funk over the desertion of 2 of his MNA'S. At a delegate convention this weekend, he tried to rally his troops by talking about re-opening the constitution, His part is at 16% in the latest polls, the economy is tanking, rats are leaving his sinking ship, and all he can come up with is that he is " 100% sure ", he will reopen the constitution. He wants a new Quebec-Canada pact, and Quebec status as a nation entrenched in the constitution, amon other things. Please call an election so this dodo can  sent to the oblivion he deserves.

        Richard " Dick " Pound, recent statement about First Nations being  " savages ", demonstrate not only  his ignorance but " the just below the surface racism ", that permeates this society. Before Eurppeans came and exploited and eradicated them, in their thousands, they had lived in self-sustainig communities, governing themselves according to their laws and in harmony with their surroundings. The civilised Europeans with their  " superior culture " used smallpox, alcohol, forced religion, residential schools,and forced relocation to grind them into misery and dependency.  They hunted the Boethuks into extinction and then decided that others must be recast in the European image, so their children were taken away and sent to residential schools, where they were brutalised,. Who are the real savages?

I believe John Parisella said it best when speaking of Dumont:
"His future is behind him"
