Shoot, this has been bugging me. I let Ann twist in the wind, and the more I thought about my response above, the more I realized it was the perfect answer to the question, WWGD? (What would gogol do?) Please allow me to come clean.
Ann was correct, Julz IS a woman. It was never an important part of any of my posts, and I wanted to keep the topics non-subjective (plus, it was fun while it lasted - you get interesting things like Artie's eery silence). Ann, my PM was a cop-out, and it is I who am sorry.

It's a week later and Mr. Harper has not answered if was acting on his own when he called Mr. Lilik and was reported to told him he'd "visit him in jail." He also hasn't told us how much his Senate employers pay him to look the other way when they violate the Constitution. My sources tell me that the other shoe will drop right after Labor day.


I don't know if I can stand the wait. Will you let us know when the other shoe drops?

Hm-m-m, Mr. Harper said in the Sunday News that the comment “visiting in jail” was about visiting as a friend, Holycow2/aka. Mr. Lilik says it was a threat. I haven’t known Ron to be untruthful, or to HIDE BEHIND A SCREEN NAME.

I'm not sure, Ann. It's often hard to get the whole story from an LNP article, but it sounded to me as if RH was the one to bring up the subject of "jail", in which case it would qualify as, if not a threat, certainly intimidation. Sounds to me like he's playing hardball politics. You know, until that article, I didn't know he was an "operative".

Isn't it time for that shoe to drop?


When the "other shoe" does drop, will I find it as entertaining as this story?
