The Silence of the Jam Jams

jamjams When you’ve been writing a politically-oriented blog for five years, some things stand out by their presence, others by their absence.

Like the complete absence of any Fan Club comments on any posts by your humble e-scribbler after Monday.

A post back in early April that mentioned  - just mentioned mind you - the Premier’s 8th floor digs in a Florida condo tower generated 49 comments.

One on his potential successors last week picked up a few but for the most part they were pretty weak.

But after that Monday post, as things turned particularly sour for the current governing party,  there’s not so much as a peep out of them.

And it’s not like there has been plenty of stuff they could sink their teeth into.

Maybe they are just bored.

Naw, they were just too busy juicing the VOCM poll yesterday.

But surely you've ntocied that the traffic is off. heck even the PAP smear only lately decided to revert to original programming and start talking about the awesomeness of the expropriation.

But other than that it's been iPads and anything but the glory of the world.

Off, but diverted. The sock puppets are back in force on the Ceeb site, VOCM, and the Telegram.

Good to see you are back reading the blog that you don't like, don't recommend and don't pay attention to.
and no, this is not Peter hiding behind some anon name.
You also seem to be irritated that no one wants to "play" with you any more. Maybe some of those that are in the school yard are in fact bored.

Even though I was away from the wi fi world.. I can't wait to read that my silence is somehow related to me being a Danny fan...over to you Gryph!

All I was doing was making fun of you and the rest who were as mouthy as can be and then who suddenly shut up - coincidentally - with the revelations of great shag-ups.

You couldn't even bring yourself to agree with the bullshit editorial in the western Star blaming the opposition for stuff. I would have thought you'd be crowing all over the place that someone else shared your perspective.

How could you agree with such bullshit....I am at a loss on who would blame this incompetent Opposition for doing, or not doing anything. For the moment...I will show tremendous self restraint and not talk about leadership.

As I said, I was away from the WWW and not able to do my regular chirp or even contemplate dipping my jams jams in a cup of tea.

the past couple of weeks has shown most of us what we already knew for a long time..that is; that DW is a raving lunatic, vidictaive in his approach and void of any policy to base present and future decisions on.

And as we watch the petulant child work from the 8th floor..we are all losers.
