One of the components of the Superman universe was the existence of a bizarro world, a world in which everything and everyone was the opposite of life on earth. For example, they said goodbye when they arrived home, and hello when they left. For them, good was bad and bad was good .... well, you get the picture.
I couldn't help but think of that world today as I read the latest ploy by the Harper government, led by the parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Dean Del Maestro, to divert attention from the crimes of his party by insisting that Adam Carroll, the man the Liberals say is behind the Vikileaks 30 Twitter account, testify before the Commons ethics committee next week.
His reason? He doesn't believe that the Liberal confession constitutes the full story. This, of course, while he and his gang of Parliamentary thugs insist that Conservative hands are as clean as the driven snow regarding the robocon voter suppression crimes.
God these guys make me sick.

ReplyDelete"Bizarros are developmentally handicapped, and cannot process thought or action that would be common to normal standards of human reason. Their behavior is structured in opposition to logic or common sense, and affects them not only culturally, but linguistically as well. Nearly everything spoken by a Bizarro is an antonym to his or her true intent. If a Bizarro says "I hate you", he is actually expressing a term of endearment. A Bizarro may demonstrate affection by giving his loved one a bouquet of dead roses, or by punching her in the face. When conversing, Bizarros lack a nominative case when using pronouns. They replace pronouns that should be nominative with their analogues in the accusative case. Rather than addressing themselves as "I", they instead use the term "Me". When Bizarros greet one another, they will do so by saying "Goodbye", reserving the word "Hello" as a salutation. Bizarros only uses the first person conjugation for any verb. For example, the verb "is" is always conjugated as "am", leading to sentences like "This am great". Although this backwards dialect is a characteristic common to all Bizarros, it is not always consistent from one Bizarro to the next, and in some cases, not even consistent with the same Bizarro. "
Yup this am sound totally like Harper Cons.
