A lost opportunity of vandalism

The big five shouldn’t go on Xarabank…

1 ) Because all the members of Where’s Everybody are part of one of the Labour’s klikkek and have a special interest about who they want as the Labour leader.

2 ) Because the programme is so powerful and the delegates so sheep-like that they will be heavily influenced through the hypodermic needle effect.

3 ) Because Peppi will ask tough questions that will be difficult for the future Labour leader (and hopefully prime minister) to answer.

4 ) Because Xarabank is different from any other programme – it is actually watched.

5 ) Because we wouldn’t want the five people who want to be the new leaders of a horribly disorganised and dying party to have a debate.

6 ) Because we wouldn’t want anything to damage the great reputation of the Labour party.

7 ) Because we wouldn’t want the rest of the population to think that we didn’t choose the best leader.

8 ) Because only the 900 delegates have an interest in who is going to try to be the future leader of our country.

9 ) Because we thought long and hard about it and it makes perfect sense to ask to watch the programme before, or to ask for there not to be an audience, or to ask for the format to be determined by us.

10 ) Because Alfred Sant said so.

 

Sonnet 18 – Shall I compare thee to Alfred Sant?

Shall I compare thee to Alfred Sant?
Though art more ginger and more cuddly:
Rough Mike did shake when you dared fly in Schultz,
But the summer campaign’s too short for a wobbly;
Sometimes too hot do our hopeful eyes shine,
When your gold complexion graces our screens;
You promise to win and bring Divorce Divine,
To change nature’s course and do more than the greens.
But don’t let thy eternal promises fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair hair your predecessor wish’st for,
Nor let George blossom and leave you in his shade,
When you go to Brussels while his tree of delegates grow’st.
As long as you can smile and show your carrot-top for all to see,
Say so long to Sant, and save us from Goooonzi.

This week(ish)

Martin Schultz’s endorsement – Who cares? He’s going to win anyway. Michael Falzon can write all the letters he wants, and Daphne can go on explaining to us why she thinks it’s wrong. The Nationalist Party has changed tactic: from the reverse-psychology of “endorsing” George Abela to the harsh criticism of Joseph Muscat. The threat lies in the funny man with ginger hair, the Santian clone with a likeable personality, the Laburist-cum-yuppie poodle who’s going to give it to Gonzi where it hurts.

Vodka’s downer – Morena gave a decent performance of a slightly less than decent song. The guy with white hair should resign once and for all, and he shouldn’t be replaced by Becky’s evil twin sister or Claudette the Challenger. He should be replaced by someone who can get sponsors to fund our participation so that we don’t have to spend half our nation’s culture budget on the kitch fest. He should also be replaced by someone who actually understands in music and has an ounce of creativity.

Labour’s loss report – Hahahahahahaha. So it was Forum Zghazagh Laburisti who fucked up after all, not the rent-a-mob crowd at University. Please take the report seriously, we can’t have Gonzi’s non-government for another 20 years. Oh and remove that retard Stefan Zrinzo who, judging by his pathetic interview on Bondi+, thinks that the job of the President of the MLP during a campaign is to go on house visits and ignore polls.

Austin Gatt and his roads of perdition – Stop talking and do something. It takes me 15 minutes to walk to my nearest bus stop, and an average waiting time of 1 hour. Bus drivers are rude and smelly. It costs too much, and it’s insanely inefficient. I have a car but I can’t afford petrol and I always have problems to find parking. I don’t think boats are the best solution. I don’t know what the best solution is, but all the Nationalists seem to think that you’re the God of getting things done, so I’m giving you six months to do something. Just make sure no bridge-construction is involved.

The Times, the MLP’s leader contenders and Divorce – Thank you Mark Micallef and Herman Grech for asking the five contenders about their views on divorce last Sunday. Not because we did not know their answers, but because we didn’t expect them to be asked on the Times. Thank you Joseph Muscat for being clear. Thank you George Abela for mentioning gay rights. As for Varist, Marie-Louise, and especially Michael, stop being pussies or get out of the race. Labour does not need Nationalists at the helm.

Sheep of Wrath (The Beginning)

Why?

Because the Maltese Blogoshere was created so that what we write might actually be read even if we do not have a column on a Sunday newspaper.

Who?

A student censored by ambition, thirsty for power, hungry for change and excited by anonymity.

When?

Whenever I am alone. Whenever there is something worth writing about. Whenever I am not busy having sex, studying, or working as a real journalist.
