Canadian Politics Gone Sexy
There's a new PM in the wings, the right is uniting,
a former premier of Ontaria is looking to run
the right - Canadian politics raises itself above
the legislative doldrums for at least a day. It's
not Rumsfeld irrationally defending Iraq's WMD
or Swarzennegger applying for pubernatorial power,
but it's something.
And Mingus has come to a conclusion.
He loves Chretien. This is uncool. But Mingus
loves Chretien because he's a tough old cunt who
doesn't do shit about what he doesn't want to
do, talks pretty straight, doesn't lose elections
and choked the shit out of a guy who went after
him instead of waiting for the CIA to do it for
him. He's just a tough son of a bitch. And prickly.
For example:
Publicly, Mr. Chrétien refused yesterday
to acknowledge Mr. Martin has effectively won
the Liberal leadership and said there is no rush
to start negotiating the transfer of power with
his chief political rival.
He was curt and brisk during his regular
weekly scrum with reporters and made very clear
he has no interest in discussing his departure.
When specifically asked when he intends to
leave office, he snapped:
"The day I quit. Next (question)." (from
www.canada.com)
Too bad he's gone in February. Soon, we'll be
run by an accountant.
Today's Math:
2 old right wing parties / 2
=
1 New Canadian Republican Party.

All these projects, all this other shit on the
go, and of course, I spent yesterday morning frenetically
writing eight pages for a brand new book which
has nothing to do with anything that I'm currently
working on. Why? Because I'm completely fucking
insane. Still. It felt so fucking good. A nice
reminder that what I want to do for the rest of
my life is to write, and I will do anything to
get there. The project is called 'The Book of
Enoch' and has to do with murder and polygamy.
It's going to be a real crowd pleaser, assuredly.
Today's Math:
Days Since I Was Last Soused: 5.
Days Until I Get Completely Soused: 1.

That's right, the Daily Mingus. Apparently, all
this time, I've been getting it wrong. Most personal
web sites have a daily blog. Mingus does not.
What the fuck am I doing with my life?
So, here it is. In all its glory. Don't worry,
the weekly mingus doesn't go away. In fact, if
you want to read the last one about the Man in
Black, Go Now.
In Mingus News today, this Extreme
Sloth fellow I recently linked to browsed
nunt.com and found it confusing. His entry for
September 14th reads as below.
"I’ve been browsing the site for
some minutes, and I still have no clue as to what
it’s all about. I would say he’s an
angry alcoholic Canadian writer, but that’s
far too redundant."
Obviously, this is a highly disturbing, yet
highly accurate description. Serious self-reflection
for both myself and Canadian writers in general
is forthcoming. Mr. Extreme Sloth finished off
his blog with an insightful and poetic rendition
of my new word.
The only thing I know is that
nunt is derivived from “Nun’s Cunt.”
A nun’s cunt is a mere vestige of an iconic
garden of earthly delights known far and wide
for its enigmatic beauty, graceful character,
and 10 billion lactobacillus bacterium that make
up it’s natural flora — the same bacterium
that is found in yogurt."
-Extreme Sloth
Obviously, hats are off to Mr.
Sloth for his vivid and scientifically accurate
description of what is, in the mind of Mingus,
merely a symbol. Kudos. I look forward to selling
him many books.
Oh yesss, and we're in the midst of a redesign
in premonition of some big fucking news. So if
something is fucked, let me know.

Afrochic named Mingus Tourette Number
6 on her 'list of men i'd sleep with just for
their brainpower / talent alone'.
Apparently, "he's not famous yet, but give
it time. he frightens me... in a good way".
I'm behind Johnny Depp but ahead of Stephen King
and the Wachowski brothers.
GO
NOW.

The big news this week, obviously, was
the big layout in Ed, a funk subtract of the Edmonton
Journal. I have been labelled a "shiv-wielding,
profanity-hurling, glory-seeking church-baiter
-- but in a good way". See Picture
