Bye-bye banana. And Dion!

Before I go bananas let me remind you to scroll down a bit to my earlier posted “Newsquips” post for Friday to catch up on the latest additions to it, since that’s how that works.  I don’t know if you like this “Newsquips” idea or format but this “Newsquips” concept from PTBC days gone by were popular at the time, and I felt like switching things up a bit by sort of re-introducing the concept. But see, you have to keep checking it for updates.  And new comments.  (Or maybe to see if even one person commented).

Now, bananas:

I was feeling a little melancholy (memo to liberals:  no, don’t worry, that’s not some new sex move you didn’t know about—it means kinda sad) as I looked out my office window, on this gray west coast day, at our giant banana tree, knowing it’s not long before the weather gets just that little bit too cold and the leaves get all gnarly and it goes to sleep for the winter.  Winter is not a cool season for me or my banana tree.

But I cheered myself up when I saw the CBC.ca top story where in their quixotic picture, Liberal Frenchman Stephane Dion appeared to be waving bon soir to his 14 supporters (plus the media), the whole group of which I thought of as a bunch of pretty rotten bananas (or just fruits, generally).  I’m weird that way.

 

 

Buh-bye! Oh sorry… au revoir!

 

So that, together with a good Friday night rum and Coke or two (the bananas reminded me of the Jamaican rum), will do the trick.  Maybe a blueberry tea later, or a Baileys.  Maybe something with banana in it.

Those of you who need MORE MORE MORE for your Friday night happy time… here’s a really good laugh—this is seriously one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time—it’s the Alfred E. Smith dinner where politicians roasted each other.  This is John McCain’s turn (part one and part two)
