I tested negative, AHS woke me up at 08:00 to tell me my result, that is pretty good service!
Since I know the name and address of the bastard (aka friend) who infected me, I know how long I have to quarantine before I am safe for public consumption.
This is good, unfortunately the guy who infected me, had to cancel a flight home to Ontario.
Normally I think cancelling a flight to Ontario is a win and wish that some day we had to go through border security to fly there, but for now it's doubly sad because the government tells us 99.6% of people who get Covid survive, and according to Alberta's Premier this deadly disease is less deadly on airplanes, where for some reason the recirculated air manages to filter out the disease, so why I ask aren't we all on planes?
Alberta's Premier, obviously knew this when he launched a program to save his MLA's and WestJet by sending his people all over the globe to keep the airline viable, with pretty much the same result as the incident involving a former Cabinet Minister who, when caught with a prostitute in his car said he was "conducting research study into prostitution." It was a government owned car, which I understand was immediately sent to auction. I'd use his full name but Graham is 90 years old and really, who cares.
There is no word on whether or not WestJet has scrapped the offending planes used by the caucus, but I see today WestJet laid just everyone off, so I guess that Jason managed to save neither the airline or his team with his "Covid safety on airplanes research".
Job loss, whether a prostitute, cabinet minister or flight attendant is not funny it's quite serious actually and I should be struck down for sharing and comparing the deeds of the modern and vibrant UCP with the deeds of an old Lougheed era cabinet minister, who was at best really a liberal anyway.
In this world of "do as I say not as I do" I will be staying home for the requisite incubation period of 14 days, this means I have about seven days to go since I saw the bastard who infected me last week. I say bastard in the most loving way possible as "Typhoid Morris" is a good friend.
And onto Washington: I understand complete order has been restored with the Ewok and Chewbacca having gone back to Seattle to do warm up exercises for their next Antifa sponsored insurrection. These two clowns now famous for their tattoos on their hands of the Marxist Hammer and Sickle have been spotted at numerous Antifa events. I really doubt anyone who's seriously MAGA would be a member of the Karl Marx fan club. It is details like this however that distort the narrative that Trump supporters were there to do damage. I understand the guy who broke Nancy Pelosi's Scotch decanter was found hiding in his Grandma's basement after the FBI pinged his cell phone, no word on his tattoo, but his proximity to Nana speaks volumes. I do hope the FBI remembered to wipe their feet on the way in and say thank you on the way out. Hey it's somebody's Nana, it's not her fault her grandson is an idiot, show some respect.
So was the whole thing really a contrived conspiracy designed to end democracy and herald in a new era of socialism? Well as I said yesterday I doubt my friends in Texas are very worried and would likely welcome Chewbacca with open arms should he choose to come visit wearing that helmet with the horns on it, I'd strongly suggest a trip to the hill country in October, keep the fur too, it's chilly.
Trump, who enflamed rioters by telling them to go home, and the Capital Police who moved the barricades to reduce tripping hazards for the protesters clearly are all bad people, the only good ones that I can see were Chewbacca and his Ewok who were probably getting something above minimum wage and a few selfies for their efforts. Nancy Pelozi was there somewhere, yelling at her hairdresser.
If you doubt any of this, go look at the video footage of the event. It's quite interesting.
Stolen election conspiracies aside, I suspect law and order has been restored and the visitor galleries on capital hill will soon be filled with bus loads of very bored school children watching grown ups behave in such a way the kids instinctively know would get them spanked at home.
And the world turns: Trump needs to admit he's out of a job, get the movers lined up, the utilities switched into Biden's name and hopefully his new house in Russia will be out of escrow before he gets there.
As bad as things are for Trump however, I understand outgoing Vice President Pence is unlikely to get his damage deposit back because he smoked in his house and is probably going to take his sweet time moving out just to annoy incoming Vice President Harris who has her U-Haul rented by the hour. But it's nice to see politicians living in public housing like the poor.
Of course, none of this actually works like this: Trump will have a Secret Service detail by his side for the rest of his life (lucky guys) and the Federal Government will be responsible for things like cars, drivers, food, housing, medical expenses, Botox for the Mrs. and ringette lessons for the youngest kid. So if Trump is broke he's still better off than 90% of his supporters.
I find it so ironic that in a country where health care is not a public institution, the members and staff of the senate and congress have the best medical and dental plans money can buy, after all people who take the humble salaries of these two chambers have only their PAC's and undocumented donors to make them rich. This is how, on $175,000.00 a year Hilary Clinton, in eight years in the Senate, was able to save enough food stamps to raise her net worth from $2.3 million to $40 million.
Although the democrats do have way better sex scandals, I half expected an Obama/ Oprah thing to pop up and nobody ever thought Nixon or Reagan or Bush 1 was much in the "ladies man" department. This they left to Bill Clinton and his cigars, and JFK and well, everyone who wore a skirt in 1961. I think Jimmy Carter was just too pure to be caught with his pants down, his brother Billy however, all bets were off.
Democrats, who would never steal elections or get rich being bought off by their PAC's and donors, can be forgiven for thinking with the "little head" more than the big one, although notable exception is made for Bill Clinton and stated earlier JFK. I was going to make a comment about how JFK and Margaret Trudeau had Cuban missle crisis's about ten years apart, but it seemed funnier in my head than on paper.
It's a problem of what I will call populist tribalism and we have it in Canada as least as much as they do down south, our own Prime Minister, who thinks he is something of a "ladies man" when he isn't trying to impersonate Al Jolson is completely out of touch with the average Canadian and isn't likely to have anyone in his rolodex with a area code starting with 204, 306, 403, 587 or 780. He might have some 604 or 250 numbers, but only because the conservatives in BC call themselves Liberals for some unknown reason. Trudeau does not have a PAC so he has to launder his illegal donations through his family and a bogus charity run by twins. and supported by the international massage parlor, SNC Lavalin.
In Alberta, we have two machines of roughly equal size pushing around the piles of dirt they have on each other, yet neither really addresses, in an earnest way the issues of their constituents because that sounds like it might involve shoveling.
