Going for the Gold

In Ottawa, with the arrival of the Olympic Torch (courtesy Bicks) BC Premier Gordon Campbell declared that Canada would win "gold medal after gold medal after gold medal."  Of course, he was right, but we believe he was focused on a parallel series of games:  The 2010 Politicolympics.

Events in which our Canadian competitors are expected to excel:  Mindless Bloviating, Evasive Maneuvering, Faux Sincerity, Devious Behavior and Blatant Self-Enrichment.

And there will be more opportunities to cheer on our politicos, in Malicious Attacks, Pompous Posturing, Craven Apologies, and finally, the key event in this year's Politicolympics:  Snap Proroguing.

Yes!  Our team has shown over and over again that it knows how to go for the gold!

  1. And then too there are the parallel-parallel games, the "Special Politicolympics," featuring such often unappreciated counter-governmental events as: Whistle Blowing, Carping Criticism, Instant Profundity (Rex Murphy is the odds-on favorite), Memo Leaking and that always glamorous but ever disappointing event, Coalition Building.
