Tax Cuts and blah blah blah

Jim Flaherty, that little pointy faced evil leprichaun, is just about to deliver his econometric vision for the next 5,000 years. Rumours amongst the punditry say he will promise to "eliminate the total government debt in a generation". Of course, with technological advances, the lifespan of a generation has been calculated by Tory math whizes as increasing to 400 years within the next 5 minutes. So, if my calculations are correct, that means our air will be clean by the year 3,234 and our surplus will increase to $80 trillion by 2056. I might be a little off on those numbers but that's K-Dough's preliminary prediction. Bank on it!

Of course, this all hangs on the thread of a sustained Tory minority for the next 239 years. Oh, and all the poor, lame or sick people will have to be sent to Greenland, forever.

Update: Following Jimbo Shrimp's presentation, John McCallum pointed out it would take 160 years to eliminate the national debt using Flaherty's model.

There you go again with the racist anti-Irish leprechaun remark.

If I tell you I'm a Visigoth are you going to call me a "Rome-Sacker"?

I mean this with all due respect: Sack this you barbarian jackass.

Does it help that in my update I called him Jimbo Shrimp?

Will he use the same hocus pocus accounting methods he used last time? Exciting times.
We're in serious deep shit.

K, I happen to have an addiction to shrimps. I just love eating them. Now think what you have done. Everytime from now on I pick a shrimp to eat, I will remember that you called jimmy, Jimbo Shrimp. Every single shrimp will have Flaherty face posted on it.:(

CC, I have no issues with the Irish or the vertically challenged, but I do have problems with liars who screw with the sick and poor. And please don't ruin my Bond fantasies. That's just..cruel.

Harding: Rome-sacker!

Chucker: I fully agree about the hot Irish (who probably are so good-looking because they're so closely related to us hot Scots) -- my ex-boyfriend was Irish and a total fucking hottie, but don't get me started on him.

However, I beg to differ. Flaherty seems to be missing the gene that bestows hotness on most Irish (and Scottish) men. He's not REMOTELY attractive.

I haven't heard Homosuperiors wit in ages (well, months) - feels like good times again!

Anyway, I just want to say that if you think Flaherty is not hot or a bad Bond, substitute for K-Dough's favorite Irish guy John McCallum.

"Martini, please"
"Shaken or stirred?"
"Slurred, thanks."

And McCallum doing math - especially math that isn't about how much money he'll get back from returning his empties - makes me giggle alot.

oh, and to counter all this negative nabobism --

I am going to announce my man-crush of the Minister of Finance this weekend.

Its gonna rock the country. Okay, maybe not, but it will sure send my marriage into a tailspin.

I prefer amoral midgets to outright evil dwarves, but toss in a do-goody ogre and I'm pretty happy either way.

Chucker, yes, sorry I've been away for a while. I have been busy sizing up hot German guys in Berlin and whatnot. Also, I moved and haven't got the Internet hooked up at home yet.

Re Bond: I saw the new James Bond film on Saturday evening. It was delicious, I mean, excellent. The new Bond is the best since Connery, and by far the hottest one ever! I am smitten.

How are things in Cowtown? (I think you live in Calgary, if memory serves me correctly).

Glad my fans still remember me.
