Captain Queeg: Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...

I remember the movie....The Caine Mutiny. Humphrey Bogart, lead role, tries to cover up but in the end his insanity is laid bare for all to witness -- the strawberry story did him in
Terry Jone"s daughter says her father who wanted to burn the Koran
has gone Mad & needs help!
Wonder if Gordo"s family are taking notice???
For those who remember the movied if you see the Premier walking the halls of the Leg juggling three ball bearings in his hand you'll know he's gone over the edge
Oh, come on....Cheap Shot Artist...not so!!
In my view, it's a good fit considering the inane stories we're expected to believe from Campbell and Hansen. They're 'grasping at straws' making excuses as was Captain Queeg with his strawberries theory.
I'm not sure which is worse...
Harper's media rules muzzling federal scientists - Margaret Munro, Postmedia News
"The Harper government has tightened the muzzle on federal scientists, going so far as to control when and what they can say about floods at the end of the last ice age.
Natural Resources Canada scientists were told this spring they need “pre-approval” from Minister Christian Paradis’ office to speak with national and international journalists. Their “media lines” also need ministerial approval, say documents obtained by Postmedia News through access-to-information legislation."
very scary -- it is like Dick Cheney is running the PMO
I heard the Premier (for now) on the radio today, being interviewed about his low poll ratings (less than 12%), HST, etc.
He didn't sound crazy at all. He was on message (lie after lie) and spinning like he's built and trained to do. This man is made in the shade after this is all over. He's not called the Teflon Premier for no reason.
He will have done the job he was sent in to do and will reap the benefits for the rest of his days, while BC will never be same for his brand of skulduggery. It takes a "special" person to carry out the kind of things he and his governments have done to our province.

You're missing the youth connection here... and I'm getting kind of old.
Can someone please dumb down the reference for me?

Do yourself a HUGE favour and go watch EVERYTHING that Humphrey Bogart made... Well, maybe not all... but there are a handful of classics in his repertoire, and many more that have stood the test of time.
The specific character that BT refers to in his column is Bogart's portrayal of Lt. Cmdr. Philip Francis Queeg in the film The Caine Mutiny.
From the IMDB plot summary: "A Ship's Captain [Queeg] is removed from his command by his Executive Officer in an apparent outright act of mutiny. As the trial of the mutineers unfold, it is then learned that the Captain of the ship was mentally unstable, perhaps even insane."
Is it sane to, lie about the sale of the BC Railroad, to sell our rivers? How about throwing toonies at paramedics, getting only $2.00 per hour on standby? Then, tearing up hospital contracts resulting, with hospitals so dirty, they are full of super bugs. 10 patients, in Nanaimo hospital died from those super bugs. How sane is it, to do nothing about the children, living in poverty? Or, the lowest wage, in all of Canada. I could go on forever. However, I know the BC people get the gist. Campbell and Hansen are, so evil, their is no stretch of mind, to imagine them, as being insane.
