The penchant for pushing "good news" in this the last polling period for government's official pollster has reached new highs.
or is it lows?
Approval of a new sewerage lift system for the community of Heart's Delight-Islington warranted a news release from the municipal affairs department in among the veritable core dump of "news" from the government's division of poll goosing.
While this is no doubt of great interest to the people of the lovely Trinity Bay community, it hardly seems necessary to make such a large issue of this that it involves not only flatulent comments by the minister responsible for scheisse-shifting set-ups but flowery verbiage from his cabinet colleague and the member for the area.
Said "news" included comments by municipal affairs minister Dave Denine linking "strong, sustainable rural and regional economies" with things like the installation of a new merde-motivation machine. One can imagine the endless promotional possibilities the business department can make of this development.
Local member Charlene Johnson praised her colleague for approving the project and added that the new excreta elevator will ensure "maximize safe and reliable service for the residents of Heart’s Delight-Islington...".
Reliable turd trucking is certainly something we would all wish for the lovely people of Heart's Delight-Islington.
And, in most circumstances, few would argue against ensuring that drek-disposal was maximized.
But safe?
It makes one wonder what lurks in the 'loos in Johnson's neck of the woods and whence comes the toilet-borne terrors.
It seems especially ill-chosen a word considering that the provincial government's communications division's evacuations - like this one - lay about stinking up the joint, in seemingly increasing numbers.
