Lots of diplomatic to-ing and fro-ing on the world stage this week.
It started with Scary Dick Cheney flying to Saudi Arabia (my friends, the Saudis) for a two-hour meeting with the King. Why on earth would he fly halfway across the world for a two-hour meeting and then fly right back home? Either he’s demanding something (in his Scary Dick way) or he’s begging for something. Hmmm.
Today Pres. Talabani of Iraq is in Tehran meeting with Mahmoud, who is all smiles. Any time Mahmoud is all smiles, you know he’s up to no good.
W, the useless, will be in Jordan this week, meeting with Iraqi PM Al Maliki and King Abdullah, my favourite king. Does anyone else have a favourite king? (A favourite LIVING king? Not Elvis, I mean.)
And to top it all off, the Pope will be in Turkey where I imagine they’ve painted a nice big bulls-eye on the side of the Pope-mobile. This can’t turn out well. Weekly World News Headline: Pope's Goose Cooked in Turkey.
Thank goodness all we have to worry about is an influx of Liberal Party delegates for next week’s convention. Ho-hum, here we are, dull as usual. Maybe Iggy will get egged. That would make for a headline or two. Eggy!

you have not mentioned the exciting vote to find a new leader for ralph's tories shame on you!
the excitement will go all week because last sat's ballot was a tie (30% for calgary big biz guy- jim dining; 20something% for right wing nut bar- ted morton; 15% for mild mannered dude-ed stelmak) 2nd ballot next week-
tho how those tories (and
so-called "2 minute tories" who join the party just to vote then go back to being liberals and ndp-ers)are getting out to vote w/out their dog teams freezing to death is beyond me
Sorry. I guess I just assumed whoever won, it would be business as usual in Alberta, i.e. Tory, Tory, Tory. Although I did read that this Morton fellow is a nut bar.
No one can replace King Ralph. And no, he can't be anyone's fave living king.
But this HAS to be a desirable job in Alberta. Being a Tory Premier is a job-for-life. Like royalty!
like you, I once thought a tory is a tory is a tory but noooooo!
ya got yer rural tories, yer urban tories (oil execs et al), yer fiscal conservatives, yer red tories, yer regular-guy, workin' man tories, yer bible thumpers and as professor ted morton is: yer anti-gay, "family values" tories, not to mention those good time tories like ralph the king of kings who has got to be enjoying watch his former minions stabbing each other in the leadership convention that will never end
stay tuned
I mean "enjoying watching"
so cold here: I'm losing my grammar!
Scary Dick was probably checking on his oil investments you know, making sure they're still OK.....
Yes, the King of Jordan is probably my fav royal type person, particularly if he turns out to be as smart as his Dad. What I don't get is how is wife is so thin after having 4 children!!!
Oh, and whats all this about Quebec being declared a seperate state or something? It even made the news over here!
don't forget elvis
I just read that Scary Dick was in fact "summoned" to Saudi Arabia. You know, for all their strutting macho, the Bushies know who their real masters are, and they never disappoint them.
