Perhaps the stars are right for Quรฉbec to hold another referendum. And become the second autonomous oversea county of the French Republic (after French Polynesia)--with its own elected assembly and president.

Yes, but was it a coup?
-
Of course it was a coup!
A perfectly legal one.
But a coup nonetheless — aka politics as usual.
Gorgias of Leontinoi (Bartender might have met him — me, I am just too young, and we didn't run in the same circles) said of Greek Tragedy that it is "a swindle in which the swindler is more just than the swindled, and the swindled wiser than the swindler." One may travesty this aphorism by saying that politics is a swindle in which the swindled is more just than the swindler, and the swindler wiser (i.e. more politically shrewd) than the swindled.
But what do I know?
Maybe it was just dumb luck.
Or an act of God, perhaps. I mean, there are those who believe God is English.
You know: "He blew his wind, and they were scattered," and all that...
I mean, you've got to wonder about things like that.
The Invincible Spanish Armada, I mean.
And don't get me started on the goddess Artemis clipping the wind out of the fleet of a 1000 ships.
I don't know, maybe God is a neocon. Is that still a thing? Or what designation are the warmongers of the dominant empire of the era wearing on their lapel those days? (I don't want to offend anyone.)
Elon Musk has the perfect car for you:
It's called a cybertruck.
(Now, where have I seen this car before?)
Wait... Don't forget your mask!
Everything's back to normal all over again.
Good night, sleep tight,
Careful, now...
Don't let the bedbugs bite...

I hear what you are saying, Abigail:
But, alas, what is one to do, the Mayor has spoken:
The law is harsh but it is the law...
Your heard the Mayor, Abigail, for the devout to go to temple, wearing a kippah or a tallit to show their proper devotion to G-d is no longer enough; in keeping with the law of the land—and out of respect for Mayor Bill De Blasio (it goes without saying)—the devout is now mandated to wear one of those:
A selection of T-shirts, such as the one above, that can be worn by both men and women, will soon be available to the devout along with the traditional kippah and tallit near sanctuary entrance.
Or order yours, while supplies last.
It's "common sense".

In Case You Missed It

Her name is Polly Boiko...
And she is a hoot!
This is the kind of stuff that the Rachel Maddow of old used to do—before she sold out and morphed into the Glenn Beck of MSNBC.
It is also the kind of stuff SNL used to do back in the days, when they did not carry water for the man and had not sacrificed their soul on the altar of Political Correctness.
DISCLAIMER:
- RT is "funded in whole or in part by the Russian government."
- And MSNBC is owned by Corporate Media.
Now you know...
When questioned about the ads, Anna Belkina, the director of strategic development and head of communications at RT, said that "President Putin personally approved" the copy in the ads.
When asked if that was a joke, she responded that "Russians are not allowed to joke about Putin."
Sarcasm is lost on some people:

That's because the IMF Report is using an outdated Economic Model, David.
You are beginning to sound like one of these. These people are living in the wrong millennium.
Why, they sound just like Abraham Lincoln:
Abraham Lincoln?
Seriously?
Let me ask you: how old is that?
1864?
Next thing you know, they'll be quoting some loon from the professional leftTM, for crying out loud.
Why not Martin Luther King, Jr., while we are at it.
You've got to live with your times, David.
Time to reclaim the American Dream, don't you know?
Haven't you heard? slave labor is all the rage, in this day and age.
As in all ages.
And it's good for the Economy.
I mean, hasn't slave labor always existed throughout history? Hasn't slavery been the natural state of mankind. The Greeks had slaves, the Romans had slaves, and the English and Americans had slaves too, until very recently. And theirs were, in their times, perfectly working economic models—all of them, in their own rights.
Look at Ancient Rome, for instance:
Those were the glory days of the Roman Empire.
Surely, it couldn't have been all that bad.
Seneca was a Roman and he was a Humanist, too:
And a wise man:
But then again, Seneca managed somehow to get himself entangled in the the Pisonian conspiracy, so he couldn't have been all that wise.
But what do I know?.
You tell me.
Your guess is as good as mine.

The Words to Say it
Kudos to Jonathan Chait for this befitting indictment of the collusion of the Beltway elite of the so-called left, right and center.

Softly, softly, treads the Mungle
Clearly Assad ought to be commanded, here, for his non-lethal methods of crowd control. I mean this is the way it is done in Europe and the US and the rest of the "civilized" world, isn't it so?
Iran, you say?
Ah, that would explain it, then.
Cause', you know, I was going to say:
"What? No water cannons?"
Ah, Assad, Assad, Assad...you've still got so much to learn. (And so little time?)
If crowd control is your game, forget Ahmadinejad, the man is just an amateur. Like you, he's still got so much to learn in the ways of the free word.
Take your cue form the pros:
Don't pay the Mullahs of Iran any heed — you know better than that. Do your own research.
Keep up to date:
Canadian police show off another “less lethal” crowd control toy deployed at the coinciding G8 and G20 in Canada, last year.
Pop goes the Greek police Tactical Baton® over the head of one of the "aganaktismenoi" (the "outraged," of the Indignant Citizens Movement) who have been demonstrating since May in Athens and in many cities across Greece to protest "the pauperizing of working Greeks, the loss of sovereignty that has turned the country into a neocolonial fiefdom of bankers, and the destruction of democracy."
And if all fails, do yourself a favor and hire yourself some real pros, true and tested.
'works for us:
All for the good of your people, of course.
Welcome to the free world, Assad, you lucky bastard!.
2012 is approaching rapidly, and there is an election coming on. Pay close attention, now, and you may learn a thing or two.
Our Mungle speaks tonife at eight
He tell us wop to doo
What, with a little luck, soon, your people, too, shall learn to love Vogon poetry.
Some will tell you that listening to it is an experience similar to torture. But don't you believe them, now: "America doesn't torture."
