Wacko Jacko - Canadian Version

Whilst the billy is boiling, let's waltz a bit.

It must be soooo hard to dance with all of your feet in your mouth, and even more so when both feet are left.

I read that Canada's version of Wacko Jacko and his stumblebum crew of Snuff (as in not quite up to) Dippers are now complaining that the party of the righteous Mammon isn't doing enough to help the poor. (Look up the Aramaic meaning here, here.)

Mammon led them on--
Mammon, the least erected Spirit that fell
From Heaven; for even in Heaven his looks and thoughts
Were always downward bent, admiring more
The riches of heaven's pavement, trodden gold,
Than aught divine or holy else enjoyed
In vision beatific. (Milton Paradise Lost, Book i, 678-690)

Just what was WJ hoping for? The conversion of crude into edible ... oil ... products? An oil for food policy (Oh, right, that's been tried, elswhere.)

WJ and his minions are yet more proof of George Santayana's reminder here on the consequences of frail memory. Or if the adage that one should sometimes be careful what one wishes for.

The tea is on, it's time to go.
