Crafty Devil

Q. What's the difference between Nation Building and Buying Votes?

A. Twelve months in Northward

God, supposedly, moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform but Mac wants a piece of that action. So Mac created and administered a special fund, also in a mysterious way, for handing out public money to Ministers (church variety).

His Holiness the Pope of  West Bay

Pending God blowing the roofs back onto the churches he blew them off of during Hurricane Ivan, Mac takes matters into his own hands and gets them fixed. After all God helps those who help themselves and God knows Mac does that - to his elbows.

I don't know how many roofs you can put on the same church - maybe new oriental influences are ushering in the pagoda style - so it looks like the church ain't the only thing the money is intended to fix, if you catch my drift.

Presumably the Small Fries went along with this extraordinary ecclesiastical handout being, where not God-fearing, at least Mac-fearing men. But, it looks like the Governor keeps one eye half-open while dozes in his pew, for his hand-servant the Auditor General is now on the case.

Unwilling, as ever, to account for public money he's been splashing out,  Mac berates and badmouth his detractors from the bully pulpit of his office, even unto accusing them of being 'Devil worshippers'.

No Mac, the devil is in the details and, unless Joe Public gets to see them, there could be Hell to pay.
(Not Hell, West Bay obviously -that's already been paid).

Are we there yet?

Freetard: defn

A person whose ability to make rational decisions is impaired by the possibility of receiving something for free.

 
I bumped into the Duke of Earl the other day. I'd heard he was more or less off the booze. He only ever drank to forget and his memory is so drink impaired these days that, while he still drinks on the days he recalls what he was trying to forget, on the days he forgets what he's trying to forget, he's dry. Sounds less complicated than is is.

Hi Duke, how's it goin'?

Do I know you?

Sure you do. It's me Baldy.

Did you used to have less hair?

Nah. I'm wearing a wooly hat.

OK. Hey, are you the one with the wife that looks like Schwarzenegger?

You got me

Take a seat my friend and tell me how it's been goin'.

I joined him on his park bench and we talked of this and that and how the world seemed to be going down the crapper.

Why is that Duke? What's going on?

Too many freetards. Too many people feel entitled to take out more than they'll ever put in. If this keeps up, we are headed, my friend, to government of the freetards, by the freetards, for the freetards.

Duke, I know places where that process is nearly completed.

You mean West Bay and Cayman Brac?

Bingo.
