TORIES = DEFICITS: on track for $3 Billion

Just three months ago, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty was brushing aside Bay Street worries that we might be in a deficit situation within two years. Well, Bay St. was wrong - it was already happening! Yes indeedy. It turns out the government of the Secret Harper Imitation Tories (SHITs) have engineered the first budgetary deficit in over 10 years.

On Friday, the government said it posted a deficit of $517-million for April and May, the first two months of the fiscal year, as income from corporate and sales taxes fell sharply.

Yes, it's a good thing they reduced the GST to 5% at the beginning of last January. We sure would hate to see headlines like this coming back to remind us of what you get with a prudent government, eh?

At this rate, we will have a $3 billion deficit for this fiscal year.

Oh yes, I think we're going to have a Fall election kiddies.

Mr. Dion, you have been given a gift better than any scandal. Just repeat after me:

$3 billion deficit

You get my drift right?

Original Song #26: Sitting Like Hippies

Sitting Like Hippies

Meet me down at Dusty's for seven o'clock
Open call auditions snaring hopeful hearts
Get in line, get a number, outside we wait
Finding four-leaf clovers like it was fate

Performance junkies congregate
When I open my guitar case

CHORUS:
Sitting like hippies in the park
Playing Brown Eyed Girl on my guitar
Sitting with your eyes closed, side to side you sway
I could live like this every day

Steve made the trip in from Halifax
Sang for five seconds and no call back
Rebecca's going to do Amazing Grace
Me? I'm going to fall flat on my face

Wave hello to the Pulstar van, get my
Fifteen minutes any way I can

Sitting like hippies in the park
Playing Brown Eyed Girl on my guitar
Sitting with your eyes closed, side to side you sway
I could live like this every day

Yeah, we're gonna eat what hippies eat
Yeah, we're gonna blink like hippies blink
Yeah, we're gonna stink like hippies stink

Doesn't matter; we've got April sun
Four-leaf clovers for everyone!

Sitting like hippies in the park
Strumming Brown Eyed Girl on my guitar
Sitting with your eyes closed, side to side you sway
I could live like this every day
