Omega Coverage
I didn't pay any attention to the Budget this time around. Is there anything I need to know? Because if there is, I hope someone will be kind enough to let me know about it.
I've never paid much attention to budgets. As a middle class person, I figure I'll get alternately dinged and ticked. It's a fact. A Canadian fact. As the middle of the pack wolves, Betas, we're actually the smarties (the Alphas get killed off and the Omegas well...) so it stands to reason that we form the backbone of the economy and, as such, must do more than our share to keep it all running smoothly for the Alphas and Omegas.
Speaking of Alphas, Conrad and Babs are often described as an Alpha couple. Alas, they seem to be missing a Beta following and are stuck with the Omegas, like Mark Steyn and Christie Blatchford, following them around, singing their praises. I guess that's sort of a natural evolution, though, isn't it. Betas simply don't have the time for either, anymore. We have work to do, I guess.
I wonder, in the wolf world where David Radler would fall. My own feeling is Omega, but I could be wrong. In any case, you heard it here first on SooeySays that David Radler is REALLY working for the defence. He will pay the price for the Media Duo now - and cash in later.
It's true. I've been reading just the barest bit about the comings and goings of the trial of the spring of 2007 and it came to me in a flash: This was all worked out well in advance. There was no way Conrad Black could beat this rap otherwise. I mean - video footage of Himself carting boxes away from the scene of the crime?
Right.
Anyway, I don't like get too involved in the nitty gritty of these things because then I get to thinking how the world economy really just hangs by a thread and we could all be plummetted into anarchy should just one damned butterfly flap its wings too hard or one big crook get caught with his hands in the till (or carting cardboard boxes away from the scene of the crime). But it dawned on me that all this build-up to David Radler's testimony, the straight skinny on his deal with authorities, the painting of him as the mastermind behind Conrad Black's predicament points to one thing: They've cooked up a deal and David Radler is going to do the time for Conrad Black and when he comes out he will be rewarded handsomely.
Eh? Am I right? What do you think? It could be so, couldn't it. I knew it. It came to me this morning, actually. Fun stuff - wot? Because I don't really want to see Conrad Black go to jail. I'd like everybody to know he's a crook, but I don't really want him to go to jail. That's how I'm different from his Omegas. They don't want him to go to jail AND they don't want everybody to know he's a crook.
I'm a Beta so I'm not out for blood, like another Alpha would be - witness Babs calling the other media gal "a slut" (as my Mom would say - you can take the girl out of Hamilton, but you can't take the Hamilton out of the girl) - but I'd like a little justice served. And I guess it has been to a large extent. When you're reduced to Omega coverage (Steyn, Blatchford, Worthington - and who knew he was even still alive?) you're pretty over.
It's just too bad for Conrad and Babs that Anna Nicole Smith can't die again.
Say... this would have been a great time for a wild and crazy budget, though, eh? "And all Canadians get... wait for it... quiet... A BRAND NEW CAR!!!!"
How come THAT never happens? How come we just get to hear about the surplus and how hardworking Canadians are, but even when the rightwing media is off covering Conrad Black's trials and tribulations, our government, which is supposed to represent ALL Canadians, not just the Alphas - does not take the opportunity to reward the Betas, the people who keep it all going, the taxpayers who drive this economy, the citizens who keep their money here, spend it here, AND do all the work here, with - A BRAND NEW CAR!!!! in the spring budget of 2007?
Unless the New Conservative Government of Canada did do that - did it?
Well, let me know. I'm going to look for reaction to my revelation that David Radler is taking the fall for Conrad Black, not the other way around, as his silly Omega followers are claiming. I mean, why not? He's already been nailed. If I were him, I'd do the same. Luckily, I'm not him. I'm a Beta. And Alphas don't do business with Betas.
