Twit in a snit

Bob Geldof, the fading B-class rocker formerly of the "Boomtown Rats", recently made it known that Prime Minister Paul Martin wasn’t welcome at the upcoming G-8 summit unless he was prepared to cough up .7% of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to help "fight poverty" in Africa.

Canada better be careful. I'm not entirely sure Geldof couldn't assemble a force necessary to defeat them militarily.

.7% of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product

How much can that be? Fifteen pounds of back bacon and a toque?

I don't have a problem with it, though. They are trying to raise money. I don't blame him for going balls to the wall. If you're gonna do it, might as well do it all the way.

Sounds to me like old Bob is trying to extort money from Canada. Let's hope the PM has the courage to tell Bob where he can go.

Is Geldof the idiot who shaved his chest and eyebrows in The Wall?

The Prime Minister should walk up to that aging twerp and slap him so hard that Geldof drops to the floor. When he tries to stand again, slap him down again. Then apologise for losing his temper, start helping Geldof up, and slap him down yet again.

I've been fighting poverty all my life, my own poverty.

One really easy and sensible measure I have found is that if I just keep my legs together, I won't have children I can't support.

Does that count? Do I get any credit for that brainstorm?
