It is edgy, well, the repeated screechy ‘Liar-Liar-Liar-Liar-Liar’ is edgy but then, because you know what, you know what? It is true! The marijuana question was interesting. Christy dodged it and took a shot at Adrian who supports decriminalization. Because, do you know what, do you know what?

Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?
OK, Christie, um, tell ‘em this. I mean whaddya we got to lose at this point! Ancient woodcut of a rooster, the favored form of sacrifice to the Roman god, Flaccidus. Flaccidus was a god revered during the time of the Roman Republic. Flaccidus was a kind of angry god, but not in the Mars I’m-going-to-stab-you-with-a-spear … Continue reading → TweetPremier Alison Redford was criticized this week after she harshly denounced her opposition in a campaign-style speech to a group of school children in Calgary. In response to the Premier’s fiery words, book publishers jumped on the opportunity to reach impressionable young minds by releasing a series of children’s books about Alberta politics.
