Not Mr. Smiley-Face

Peter Pickersgill commits heresy:

It’s true that a lot more oil will go up the chimney before March 21st, the first day of Spring, but enough has already been turned to smoke even before the official start of winter to put a smile on the face of a Saudi Prince.

Or on the face of our own King of Crude Danny Williams. And that takes some doing. A smile on the face of our premier? Who can remember seeing one? He’s not Mr. Smiley-Face our Dan. Despite his huge successes, it seems he believes Anger is the new Happy.

Nouns to nouns, adjectives to adjectives, it ought to be "Anger is the new Happiness", or "Angry is the new Happy", but still, Pick has a very good point about Mr. Happiness, the guy who directly, or through the intermediaries of such lowly creatures as planted VOCM callers or cabinet ministers [what's the difference? - ed.] portrays anyone who dares oppose Him as "negative".

Or says that they have a "scowl on their face".

Yeah, that Mr. Happiness.

How does that thing about rubber and glue go, again?
