Rhinoceros theatre.....
Just a quickie from the road, Ill be back at my main desktop this evening.... I miss my coffeepot, my desk and my darling Eugene.... Ill be home soon Prole...heh
They are back?
Back in 1993, the PC party stripped them of their status, seized any assets, and declared them a non party. But the silliness continues....
The Rhinoceros Party has launched a lawsuit against the Federal government to strike down a law meant to discourage small political parties.
The Party head, Brian Salmi may have the last laugh however, as it appears that the law that was written to kill off small parties may be unconstitutional.
In 2001 he was convincing enough to have a trial ordered, but the next judge refused to hear arguments from a clown.
That's not an insult, Mr Salmi appeared in court fully dressed in a clown costume, with makeup and all the trappings.
It's a de facto economic means test that discriminates against the poor," said Mr. Salmi, a Montreal resident who has sought office on nine previous occasions, several of them in British Columbia. (Mr. Salmi has legally changed his name to Sa Tan, so his challenge in Federal Court reads Sa Tan against Her Majesty The Queen.)
Satan against her majesty the queen....
Promises?
Among the party's early planks: renaming our country Nantucket and abolishing lawn-mowing in Outremont.
After years of near-extinction, the whacky Rhino party is back
This should be entertaining, and at the very least, they have a good point. Money shouldnt be the defining factor in a politician.
The Harper Conservatives have the largest amount in the coffers, and in the end Harper knows when they open their mouths they will be taken as seriously as a man in a clown suit, named Sa Tan.
A history of the funner parties that Canada has had, that I wrote last year.
A partial history of fun Alternate political parties in Canada
Should I form a party?
To represent Amero-Canadian interests, natch.
Sober as a Judge
Apparently, the judge was unaware of the public perception that clowns and judges are pretty much viewed as equals, with the clowns having a slight edge on week-ends.
As the old saying goes, anyone who wants to be a judge should be immediately disqualified as a possible candidate.
If I hear one more judge refer to "my court"- as in - "I will not allow that in my court", I will scream. It's not your court asshat - it belongs to us and we let you use it.
Ever hear of "humility" yer Honour?
The term "Sober as a judge" is not meant in a complimentary way.
No disrespect toward clowns was intended with this comment.
Some judges
Are complete asshats....I recall one in particular.
If I ever meet her in public, I am not sure I wont make sure she knows it too. :)
Its like the government tho. At some point in time it meant the people. Now it means whatever corporation is controlling the asshats who get elected by a slim margin....
Something wicked this way comes....
That always brings to mind
One of Jello Biafra's policy points during 1979 campaign for the San Francisco mayoralty. That was that all downtown businessmen had to wear clown-suits between 9am and 5pm.
Everything's cheaper than it looks.
Works for me
Maybe politicians too.
