the liberals and new democrats are both having leadership races at the moment and the new democrats are having their LEADERSHIP CONVENTION THIS WEEKEND.
there are 7 candidates vying for the leadership and i'm sure that less than 1% of canadians can name 4 of them. i follow politics and couldn't name 4 of them if my life depended on it. the interim leader of the liberals is the former new democrat premier of ontario, our biggest province. we westerners think ontarions suck farts out of dead horses.
on a more interesting note, i actually bought a real book this week and it's a beauty. it'll look good beside the deadwood boys on my book shelf.
just for the hell of it i bought 7 one ounce silver coins from different countries to compare the quality and i must say the canadian maple leaf looks the best but the winner of the competition is the 5 ounce silver turtle coin. i might just buy a shit load of these things i like it so much.
i love you sons of bitches.

Folitics, it's just a bunch of monkeys fucking around. You'll enjoy Kurt.
What's Michael Ignatieff up to? I remember him as a presenter of high-brow discussion programs on TV.
I get so frustrated with our political people here in the United States. Although I vote but wonder why I even waste the gas to do it. It usual here just help out the big wigs.
He have the two political party here. Which just chaps my hide so for president last time I wrote in a candidate.
Ok the reason I vote...so I can bitch on what going on.
I'd love to have one of those silver turtle coins! Come to think of it, I'd probably like to have a lot of them.
I've just about decided here to vote for Mickey Mouse in this US presidential primary. I really don't like a single one of them.
I'm gonna have to get that book!
bbc - folitics? follies?
gb - i think iggy's in the teaching racket now. he got creamed in the election because he lacked the most important political tool, he couldn't lie for sour apples. he was just too honest to run a country.
peppy - your politics are a lot more interesting than ours. most of our politicians stick to the script and are like watching paint dry.
silly - once you've held a five ounce turtle you'll never be satisfied with a lousy silver dollar. there are very interesting facts about kurt in the book.
Your county's Maple Leaf is very well known and respected, but I've never heard of a 5 ounce silver turtle coin, where's that from?
tex - it's from fiji. i ordered it a few weeks ago and it cost $209 now with silver down a bit they're going for $192. there's a 10 ounce kookaburra coin that looks interesting.

Silver is for those that can't afford to get fucked by fluctuating gold prices and chose to get fucked by fluctuating silver prices.
Coins are bullshit, if you are going to deal with that shit just buy bar stock, silver is silver and gold is gold.
Love the turtle coin. I would make a necklace out of it. Also love Kurt, political crap not so much, so on it goes...
bill - gosh, i almost bought another silver turtle. i'd be in a world of trouble without your astute advice.
mcraven - i think it's too heavy for a necklace. there's also a one ounce turtle coin that might be better suited to a necklace.
I'm no expert on silver and gold but looked at a site that said the best way to buy it is in bars, it cost money to mint coins and such so those are the folks that are making money buy selling it.
Silver had a good run in the 80’s, then went to hell for years, if the folks that bought back then still have it this is a good time for them to dump it and cash in on their profits. If the governments can bring the economies back it’s going to start going down again.
I don’t figure that I’ll have to wait that long to double my profit on my gun powder. :-)
If things keep going to hell lead is going to be a good investment. The scrap man here doesn’t send his lead off to the big city to end up in China. He sells it to the local folks that make their own bullets and fishing weights, he makes more off of it that way.
the ones running for the president for the republicans just scare the living shit out of me. one of them wins, look for me a nice little house that will take cats.
bill - precious metals are more insurance than investments. hopefully the world won't go to hell in a hand basket and you need them. in that case you're left with a nice chest of shiny stuff. i also think there's a spiritual connection to gold.
yellowdog - you better learn mandarin or cantonese if you plan on moving here.
There's no spiritual connection to any make believe god, that's just bullshit. My post in the morning will touch on that some.
But I guess the owners of BMW's think they have a connection.
LOL
If we had three parties in the US our people would be so confused they wouldn't know how to vote. After all, a coin flip only has two options.
bill - if i had a nickel for every time you missed my point i'd buy another turtle coin.
robert - canadians have a tough time with 3 parties too, hence the harper conservative government.
Cool turtle coin - I'm not surprised you like it!
A spiritual connection to gold?
Do tell!
secret - i'm hoping they come out with a 10 ounce coin or maybe a kilo coin.
thims - i'm thinking of the pharaoh's connection with gold. if they were smart enough to construct pyramids in perfect alignment with the stars they must have had a good reason to take gold to the afterlife. besides, it's a heavy metal coming from the core of our planet.
The pharaoh's were so smart, right. And they didn't construct the pyramids, they sat around on their stupid asses and had others build them.
bill - if i had a nickel for every time you missed my point i'd buy another turtle coin.
Go ahead, we'll be after them one of these days when we run out of lead. And we want to thank you in advance for hording the pretties for us.
BTW, buying silver isn't going to save any turtles, don't you know the history of silver mining?
Never mind, I suppose you do and just don't care.
TURTLE SOUP.
Hey, you said to bark at you.
Atleast Canada gives you more choices than the American ones of Ass-rape Party or Slow Ass-rape Party.
Are you on Twitter, Leo?
galt - i watched a lewis black special and he said you were given the choice of 2 bowls of shit when voting. we get to choose from 3 bowls of shit, lucky us.
homey don't tweet.
Excellent purchases, BP, and hope the political races are a little more professional than the crap we have going on down here in the US. Have a good one.
Ha! You're a hoot, Billy, with your coins.
Politics. I'm so confused. I'd stick w/Vonnegut. Sure thing. ;)
mr shife - our politics are just as shady but a little more discreet.
jayne - i'm still in love with my silver turtle.
