EXPLANATION OF POLITICS - THIS IS BRILLIANT



Whether
Conservative, 
Liberal

or
Labour , I 
think

you'll get

a kick out of 
this!

Alittle boy goes to his

dad and asks, 'What is Politics?' 

Dad says, 'Well son, let

me try to explain it this way: 

I am the head of the

family, so call me The Prime Minister. 

Your mother is the

administrator of the money,
so we
call her the Government.


We are here to take care

of your needs, so we will call you the
People.

The nanny, we will
consider her the Working
Class.

And your baby brother,
we will call him the Future. 


Now think about that and
see if it makes sense.' 


So the little boy goes

off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. 

Later that night, he

hears his baby brother crying,
so he
gets up to check on him.


He finds that the
baby
has severely soiled his nappy. 


So the little boy goes

to his parent's room
and
finds his mother asleep.
Not
wanting to wake her,
he goes
to the nanny's room.
Finding the door locked,
he
peeks in the keyhole and
sees
his father in bed with the nanny..

He gives up and goes
back to
bed.

The next morning, the

little boy say's to his father,
'Dad,
I think I understand the concept of politics now. ' 


The father says,
'Good, son, tell me in
your own words
what you think politics is all 
about.'

The little boy replies,
'The
Prime Minister
is
screwing the Working Class
while
the Government is sound asleep.
The People are being ignored
and
the Future is in deep shit.'

Shanghai lights on the Yangtzee
















It was a rainy night, the crowds were incredible but at no time were they intimidating. We met 4 of the sweetest 7 and 8 year old's who were so excited to talk to us and all had an excellent grasp of English.

The ship was crowded but young people got up and offered us their seats. The people are generous, observant and attentive.

Conservatives follow Stephen Harper


What is his game????

I can indeed. can you shed some light on what happened in 2006? For comparison's sake?



The snake in grass is still playing games

@Kady: Lifting the curtain on Harper's covert exit strategy

First off, we should note that we still have no details on exactly how—or even when — Stephen Harper notified Rideau Hall of his intent to officially resign.
What day, exactly? What time of day? Who was present? How long the discussion lasted? All those question remain unanswered.
But as of today, we can state, with reasonable certainty, that Harper has indeed served notice to Governor General David Johnston that he would voluntarily cede power to the incoming Liberal government on Nov. 4. As unfathomable as it may seem in a modern, functioning parliamentary democracy, right up until Wednesday, there was no hard evidence that it actually happened.
Even now, no official notice has been released to the media or posted to the Rideau Hall website, nor has Harper’s office issued a statement confirming that he will resign.
The only reason we know is because a Rideau Hall spokeswoman finally took pity on — or got fed up with — being pestered for a clear answer to what seemed (at least to us) a fairly simple yes-or-no question: Has Stephen Harper resigned as prime minister, or not?

The truth and nothing but the truth

IF HINDSIGHT IS 20-20

THEN CONSERVATIVES HAVE A THIRD EYE

SITUATED IN THEIR RECTAL ORIFICE

IT GIVES THEM A SHITTY OUTLOOK ON LIFE

Fable of the porcupine




It was the coldest winter ever.  Many animals died because
of the cold.  The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided
  to group together.  This way they covered and protected
  themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest
  companions even though they gave off heat to each other.
   After a while, they decided to distance themselves one
  from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen.
  So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of
  their companions or disappear from the Earth.  Wisely,
  they decided to go back to being together.  This way they
  learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the
  close relationship with their companion, but the most
  important part of it was the heat that came from the others.
   This way they were able to survive

The best relationship is not the one that brings together
perfect people, but the best is when each individual
learns to live with the imperfections of others and
can admire the other person's good qualities.

The Moral of the story:

LEARN TO LOVE THE PRICKS IN YOUR LIFE.
