I had the same thought on that issue when Lord Black engaged in some twisted apologetics for Trump a few months ago: "a president like no other". He wrote a damned book for the guy.<br /><br />There seems to be a streak of insecurity that runs through some of our big shots that puts them in awe of their American counterparts, always ready with the lip-lock and tongue-job whenever the opportunity presents itself. I really appreciate these guys, because they're the reason I became a multi-tasker. They taught me how to laugh and puke at the same time. <br /><br />While I realize that his ego would likely prevent him from ever experiencing any discomfort at the notion that Canada's uncomprehending basket-case lefties are displeased by his presence here, I've wondered whether the possibility of any sense of shame or embarrassment was precluded by the ingratiatingly effusive welcome home to which he was treated by members of our precious glamour crowd when he got out of jail. <br /><br />Has he resumed his seat in the House of Lords, as he seemed to suggest he would in the Jeremy Paxman interview back in 2012, or is the UK still suffering through his leave of absence from his important duties to Queen and country? And since it began with a one-year temporary resident permit, what's the status of his current residency in Canada?John B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-40845181031825163802018-11-30T18:17:26.576-08:002018-11-30T18:17:26.576-08:00I did notice that while he's as flowery and ve...I did notice that while he's as flowery and verbose as ever, Black's writing seemed to have lost some of its command.<br /><br />I went back and took a second read only this time I read it from the perspective of a seasoned felon.

I won't and don't - read a fair number ..... I won't and don't - read a fair number of distorted wanks.. cranks. I learned long ago to steer clear of unstable asshats and seek out exemplars.. The payoff is truly huge. Thus Lout Black, Rex Blurphy, Stephen Harper et al fail to stir anything in me but disgust. I may here and there read an op-ed by pond scum like Joe Oliver or apologist creeps, or buffoons like Ezra Levant, just to stay aware of the current state of disease, distortion and fuckery. Ergh, the list of losers is long, shameless & despicable & they infest all levels of news, politics, backrooms, finance.. you name it.. the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-89473314640227589002018-11-30T16:35:05.307-08:002018-11-30T16:35:05.307-08:00That doesn't explain why, 3 years into this Li...That doesn't explain why, 3 years into this Liberal government, he's still here, Rumley.
