Hmmm… I was reading over
a pamphlet I received from Edward Slota of the Global Party of Canada (it was
so nice and considerate of him to do it in person). I really like that name -
Global Party of Canada! It just sounds fun! And some of his policies are even
funner! "Share the wealth" seems to be his motto. And while it works
for me, I don't know how much I'd dig it if I had tons of coin.
Still,
his party "would ensure that every man, woman and child was guaranteed
(the bold letters were in the pamphlet) to pay no taxes and receive
a guaranteed supplementary income of $3,000.00 per month."
Apparently (and I love this!), "the Global Party of Canada was structured,
with a built-in element of surprise…"
Yup, structured with
a "built-in element of surprise." Sweet! And I just love surprises!
So I Gave Kaiser Paul a ding
and ran this Global Party concept by him. Have to admit, it was really nice to
hear him laugh… and laugh… and laugh… I think I really cheered
him up.

My local candidate from The Pot Party showed up at my front door
last night to try and convince me to vote "for the toker jokers, man!"
and to inquire whether I had any spare Rice Crispy Treats. Had to admit, I was
impressed by the scruffy 17-year old and his guileless pluck. Invited him in to
talk about the Pot Party's policies, but of course by then he'd forgotten why
he was even at my front door. Once I reminded him about who he was and why he
was at my front door, he grunted amiably, jammed a finger in his ear, and asked
if he could "use my can, man." After that he seemed pretty exhausted
and told me needed to lie down. "This political door knocking stuff, is like,
sort of a drag, man," the young dude proclaimed. Just as I had decided that
I'd had more than enough of him, my new pot pal smiled and informed me that he
had just had a brain storm (I'm guessing that involves a very small rain cloud)
and had come up with the new "theme song" for the Marijuana Party. Have
to admit, the bud head did a good job. Sing along if you like…
MARIJUANA
