Huh?

A bizarre — not a news story — a bizarre text, with accompanying audio file of the original Terry Hart report:
Premier Very Upbeat About Province's Future
Apr 14, 2009

Premier Danny Williams is very upbeat about the future. Premier Williams says consumer confidence is high and future job prospects for this province have never looked better. He says the recent announcement of another oil find off our coast is very significant and business optimism here is the highest in the country. Williams says consumer confidence is also very strong as people feel good about themselves and their future. He says the offshore continues to provide huge employment benefits; over 2.2-billion dollars will be spent at Long Harbour; the Lower Churchill project is making good progress, and the future has never looked brighter.
Who was the Premier speaking to? When? Where? What was the purpose or occasion of his remarks? Ah, who cares. Five W's? Who needs 'em, even if reporting them would have made even the thinnest of news out of what is, instead, proselytizing for the official provincial religion, Optimism.

Well, if it worked for L. Ron Hubbard, it can work for DW.

Winston:

Promise me... if anyone asks you to do a "personality test", tell them where to go.

Promise me that, Winston.

WJM,

Consider it promised.

It's only a matter of time before VODW does a story on Thetans.
