Black Gold

Mo Qaddafi/Gadafi came to power when I was 8. I have never known a Mo-less world. And Fidel. They're just always there. Like Jacques Parizeau. (He's never going away. By jove. )

Where are the new generation of dictators? They need to hire some PR specialists because I don't know who they are. Look at Baby Doc Duvalier, going back to the country he ransacked just to....actually does anybody know why he showed his face there? It's because he's dictator material that's why! The numero uno characteristic of a good dictator is EGO. They don't build em like that anymore.

There's just too much going on the world and nobody can focus on the most life-altering event of recent days. Which, of course, is Justin Bierber's new haircut. For the record, I like it.

I guess the people who are most happy about all this mess are the corrupt first family of Tunisia. I mean, who's thinking about them anymore? I wonder if they are still living in that hotel in Vaudreuil?

I'm in a snit over the whole Mo spectacle because the price of oil is climbing like crazy. Excuse me, but it's still February here, and I'm going to need at least one more heating oil fill-up before Spring. So I don't like this oil spike. I don't like it one bit. The last time I got a fill-up it was already 7 cents/litre more than the first one of the season, so I can just imagine what the next one's going to be like. So everybody over there should just calm down a bit because I've got bills to pay!

Meanwhile, New Zealand is clearing its throat and saying "uh, a little help here?"
