Send Kady O'Malley to the G20!

I haven’t even told ITQ about this. Apparently some group is convening 50 bloggers to the G20 summit in London in early April, including 20 who will be nominated by the public. I’m absolutely shameless enough to ask you to send me, except in all fairness the blogger who covers the G20 shouldn’t be the one who spent four years saying a leaders’ G20 was a dumb idea, so I’m out. Besides, this will basically be a big committee meeting, and I’m told they sell Red Bull in London, so… well, the stars are aligning. You know what to do. It’s time to liveblog a G20. Godspeed.

A fine idea. Only to be surpassed by her employer actually sending her on a media accreditation anyways. No?
Whatever it takes, Kady, find a way NOT to have Heathrow in the itinerary. Let Wells be your travel agent: land in Zurich, and TGV your way back across the Channel…

What’s wrong with Heathrow? I landed there and took the tube downtown in less than an hour. Zurich on the other hand would be much more expensive to fly to.

If Paul Wells was a travel agent, he’d find a way to turn bus stations into jazz clubs.

Actually, you know what? Paul Wells for travel agent!

Oh, and read the fine print. You know , about who pays for what.
PeteTong, It’s all gone

Funny you should bring up red bull In London, as there is in fact another energy drink there not available in Canada and it is called Pussy. I’m sure it’s an innocent reference to cats.

I was introduced to Irn-Bru in Scotland, and I came back home thinking it was my little (horrible) secret. Turns out every grocery store carries it.

Kady If you happen to win this competition, you have to raise a fuss about how Canada has been ranked in Tier 2 by the Foreign Office – along with Australia, Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey – and they don’t really give a toss what Canada thinks even tho we supposedly have best banking system in world. It is an outrage!

Done! Really, really hope Kady gets this chance. It will be such a lot of fun reading her astute, insightful take on everything!

Thanks for the heads up on this, Paul.

It worked! She’s going. Fantastic!

You mean to drag down the level.

Unfortunately, he would still be able to access the comments section from the UK.
Critical Reasoning

Here I am at the G20 meeting

Where the world’s largest economies, have come to let themselves be taken in and violated by

the false promises of World Socalism.

Merkel just spoke about multinational regulation for the global financial

and they all lap it up, because providing some basis,

would cause Merkel to actually debate a point, with substance.

Few have any interest in serious debate here.

And so we have the drive by, the smear, the ridicule……pretty much the standard stuff,

from today’s

tolrant progrssive left.
