I am certain the Chucky "The Wefare Bum" Leblanc would gladly gobble
down every spare Butter Tart his buddy Blaine Higgs is willing to
share with poor folks.
Meanwhile south of the 49th I bet all the Yankee Turkeys in the FBI
and the IRS are gobble gobbling bigtime and attempting to hide under a
rock in order to escape the chopping block on the Black Friday just
before Thanksgiving Nesy Pas Premier Gallant?
In the Spirit of Full Disclosure I hate most cats but some fellas tell
me that they make for a great target practice seesion before hunting
season. Hard telling not knowing for sure. I would waste amunition on
them but I did shoot one just once. It was mercy killing for my
beloved Mother in Law's cat named Davey (It was over 20 years old and
suffering) It was a dirty deed but somebody had to do it because it
was on a long weekend and the Vet's office was closed FYI Domy Baby
you personally know the friend who lent me the pistol that evening
long ago when you no doubt were still pissing in your pampers..

Mr. Amos,
Did you know that they eat puffins in Iceland?? Puffins!
Full disclosure: I have a cat named Puffin but she is (a) not from Iceland; (b) does not eat puffins; (c) has no discernible central nervous system - though I guess that is my cross to bear, as a responsible cat owner, and not yours, as a public nuisance.
Did you enjoy your butter tart substitute? I was expecting a thank you note but then I realized you were likely very busy suing the government of Rwanda for using the wrong sort of hand cream or something equally important.
Sincerely,
Dominic

Iceland's PM to resign following election results, clearing way for coalition government
PM's Progressive Party lost over half its seats as voters linked them to financial crash, corruption

Outgoing Prime Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson of the
Progressive Party said Sunday he would hand the president his
resignation so that a new government can be formed.
Saturday's election was called after then-Prime Minister Sigmundur
David Gunnlaugsson resigned in April during public protests over his
offshore holdings, revealed in the Panama Papers leak.
Gunnlaugsson's Progressive Party was the election's biggest casualty,
losing more than half its seats in the Althingi as voters punished it
for its links to the financial crash and corruption claims.
No party gained a parliamentary majority in an election dominated by
public discontent at the establishment after years of financial crisis
and political turmoil.
The Independence Party took 29 per cent of the vote and 21 of 63
parliament seats in results announced Sunday. Leader Bjarni Benediktsson
said the party should be given a mandate by President Gudni Th.
Johannesson to form a new coalition government.

Panama Papers leak. (Halldor Kolbeins/AFP/Getty Images)
The result was better than expected for the Independents, who have governed in coalition since 2013.
The Left-Green movement, with 15.9 per cent, will get 10 seats in a
parliament that is shaping up to be evenly split between parties of the
left and the right.
Smooth sailing for Pirate Party
The Pirate Party — anti-authoritarian advocates of direct democracy
and digital freedom — almost tripled their vote share from 5 per cent in
2015 to 14.5 per cent on Saturday, and will also get 10 seats in
Iceland's parliament, the Althingi.
The Pirates' result fell short of what some polls had suggested — and
what the party's fleet of energetic volunteers and supporters had
hoped. Like Spain's Podemos or the movement behind Bernie Sanders in the
U.S. presidential race, it drew in throngs of young supporters who ran
the Pirates' largely volunteer-driven campaign.
The Pirate Party's most senior lawmaker
Birgitta Jonsdottir, centre, reacts as the election results are
announced at their election gathering in Reykjavik on Saturday.
Jonsdottir is a former ally of WikiLeaks and has called on Iceland to
offer citizenship to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden. (Halldor
Kolbeins/AFP/Getty Images)
Iceland's Pirate Party, founded four years ago by an assortment of
hackers, political activists and internet freedom advocates, campaigned
on promises to introduce direct democracy, subject the workings of
government to more scrutiny and place the country's natural resources
under public ownership.
The party also backs tough rules to protect individuals from online
intrusion. Birgitta Jonsdottir, the Pirates' most senior lawmaker is a
former ally of WikiLeaks who has called on Iceland to offer citizenship
to U.S. National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden.
Opponents argued that the inexperienced Pirates could scare off
investors and destabilize the economy — a message that resonated with
some voters.

Independence party on course to remain largest in parliament but
loses five of 21 seats, potentially paving way for left-leaning
coalition

Iceland’s ruling centre-right parties have lost their majority after a
tight election that could usher in only the second left-led government
in the country’s history as an independent republic.
With all votes counted after the Nordic island’s second snap poll in a
year, the conservative Independence party of the scandal-plagued
outgoing prime minister, Bjarni Benediktsson, was on course to remain
parliament’s largest.
But it lost five of of its 21 seats in the 63-member Althing,
potentially paving the way for its main opponent, the Left-Green
Movement headed by Katrín Jakobsdóttir, to form a left-leaning coalition
with three or more other parties.
The make-up of the new government, however, remains uncertain since
both left- and rightwing blocs have said they deserve a chance to try to
form a coalition and Iceland’s president has yet to designate a party
to begin talks.
Benediktsson called the election last month
after his three-party centre-right government collapsed over an alleged
attempt to cover up efforts by his father to help “restore the honour”
of a convicted child sex offender.
The outgoing government had been only formed 10 months ago after early elections triggered by his predecessor’s resignation. Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson stepped down amid public fury at revelations in the Panama Papers that his family had sheltered money offshore.
The Guardian revealed this month
that while an MP Benediktsson – a member of one of Iceland’s wealthiest
and most influential families, whose name also appeared in the Panama
Papers – had sold millions of króna of assets in a major Icelandic
bank’s investment fund as the state was about to seize control of the
country’s failing financial sector at the peak of the 2008 financial
crisis.
Final results showed the popular Jakobsdóttir, 41, could forge a
left-of-centre alliance with the Social Democrats, the Progressive Party
and the Pirate Party that would hold 32 seats – the slimmest possible
majority in parliament.
“The opposition has a majority, so that’s a message. But we’ve also
discussed maybe doing things differently and creating a broader
government,” the Left-Greens leader said in a television debate on
Sunday.
The Social Demorat leader, Logi Einarsson, suggested a five-party
coalition could be on the cards, saying that with the addition of one
extra party, the outgoing opposition “can create a really strong
government”.
But Benediktsson said during the debate his Independence, which has
been a member of 19 of the 27 governments that have run modern Iceland,
should be given the chance to form a new government. “We are the
biggest party,” he said. “I think it’s normal that we should be a part
of a future government.”
Eight parties will be represented in the new parliament, headed by
Benediktsson’s Independence party on 25% and the Left-Greens, who
campaigned against inequality and for greater investment in public
services and higher taxes for the better-off, on 17%.
The Social Democrats finished in third place on 12%, almost doubling
their vote share, but the radical Pirates, who rode a wave of
anti-establishment anger to become the third biggest party in parliament
in the 2016 election, secured 9%, sharply down from the 14% they
achieved last year.
Jakobsdóttir has she would not rule out working with the new Centre
party, formed only this September by former prime minister Gunnlaugsson,
which ended with a healthy 11% vote share.
Polls heading into the election showed nearly half of Iceland’s
voters would like her to be their next prime minister, making her more
than twice as popular as her party.
Iceland’s first left-led coalition since it became a republic in 1944
governed from 2009 to 2013, when the Social Democrats and Left-Greens
ousted the right after the 2008 economic crisis that brought the country
almost to its knees.
Fuelled partly by an unprecedented tourism boom, it has since bounced
back strongly, with the economy growing by 7.2% last year and
unemployment down at just 2.5%.
Icelanders vote for stability as Pirates fall short of expectations
Pirates' share of the vote tripled since previous election, but they still only got 15 per cent

Icelanders opted for stability in a general election, results
showed on Sunday, with the anti-establishment Pirate Party falling short
of expectations and the junior partner in the outgoing government
emerging on top.
With voters still angered by the 2008 financial crisis and the naming
of several government figures in an offshore tax haven scandal this
year, Icelanders looked to oust the centre-right coalition in its
current form.
The biggest group, the Progressive Party, lost more than half its
share of the vote in Saturday's election after Prime Minister Sigmundur
David Gunnlaugsson resigned following revelations in the "Panama Papers"
scandal.
But the Pirate Party, founded by a group of internet activists,
failed to perform as well as opinion polls had indicated. While its
share of the vote tripled from the last election in 2013, it came in
only third with 15 per cent.
Instead, voters appeared to have recognized efforts to stabilize the economy after its 2008 collapse.
The centre-right Independence Party, which shared power in the
outgoing government, won the largest share of the vote with 29 per cent.
The party said it would try to form the country's next government in what are expected to be complex negotiations.
"We have the most support ... So I'd say yes," Bjarni Benediktsson
told Reuters when asked whether he considered his party to be the
winner.
He said he would prefer to form a three-party coalition, but declined to say with whom.
President Gudni Johannesson has yet to officially hand the mandate to
the party that will be tasked with forming the next government. Current
Prime Minister Sigurdur Ingi Johannsson of the Progressive Party told
Reuters he would meet with the president later today and said it would
be "natural" for the President to look to The Independence Party.
Poet Birgitta Jonsdottir, who leads the Pirate Party, told Reuters she was happy with the result.
"Our internal predictions showed 10 to 15 per cent, so this is at the
top of the range. We knew that we would never get 30 per cent," she
said.
Supporters of the broader pirate movement from 15 countries, along
with ex-campaign workers for former U.S. presidential candidate Bernie
Sanders, had visited Reykjavik to back the Icelandic party, hoping that
it would have a shot at forming the next government and deal another
blow to mainstream politicians.
Both the Independence Party and the Pirate Party, whose founders call
themselves "hacktivists", have so far ruled out working together,
though this could change during negotiations in the days to come.
The Left-Greens came second with 16 per cent.
Messy coalition
Benediktsson's party has promised to lower taxes and keep the economic recovery on track.
Fuelled by a tourism boom, economic growth has recovered since the
banking crisis and is expected to hit 4.3 per cent this year. In a tight
race, the newly-established Vidreisn, or Reform Party, could become
kingmaker.
The pro-European, liberal party which won around 10 per cent of votes in its first election has not yet taken sides.
The senior coalition partner in the outgoing government, the
Progressive Party, saw its support dive to 11.5 per cent. It was hurt
badly when Gunnlaugsson resigned as prime minister in April after
documents leaked from a Panamanian law firm linked him to an offshore
company that held millions of dollars in debt from failed Icelandic
banks.
The Independence Party will hold 21 seats in the 63 member
parliament, up two. Representation by the Left-Green Movement rose three
to 10 seats, while the Pirate Party has gained seven to 10 seats.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland ― Birgitta Jónsdóttir has been punching up since she got into the ring. Nearly one year after she first took
office in 2009, the Icelandic parliamentarian and co-founder of the
populist Pirate Party worked with WikiLeaks to release a video of a U.S.
helicopter gunning down a group of civilians and journalists in
Baghdad. She became a fierce critic of American-led wars, a vocal
advocate for radical transparency and a prime target for U.S.
intelligence services, which subpoenaed her private Twitter messages.
At home, she helped jail crooked
bankers whose dealings prior to 2008 sent the Icelandic economy into a
tailspin, pushed for constitutional reform and passed a law to make her
tiny island nation of less than 335,000 people a haven for press
freedom.
But now she’s taking her fight to the sidelines. Iceland’s ruling coalition collapsed last week
amid uproar over Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson’s failure to
disclose his father’s role in helping to expunge the record of a
convicted child rapist, forcing the embattled leader to call a snap
election for Oct. 28. Jónsdóttir, 59, will not run, she told HuffPost in
her first interview with U.S. media since making her decision last
weekend.

Birgitta Jónsdóttir, in the garden outside Iceland's
Parliament House, on Monday morning, says she worries the prime minister
will take advantage of his time before an Oct. 28 snap election.
“I feel like it’s
time pull back, recharge my batteries and focus on how I can be of
service,” she said moments after plopping down on a couch in a
windowless meeting room of Iceland’s Parliament building. She didn’t
remove her black scarf or long black coat, stitched with Gustav
Klimt-like designs. “I’ve been working so much, and it’s been so
intense.”
She sighed. It had been a long
weekend. One day after reconvening following a summer break, the
conservative government fell apart Friday when one of the three parties
in the coalition pulled out, eliminating its narrow one-seat majority.
The head of Parliament canceled a budget debate and refused to schedule
any sessions after that. Jónsdóttir spent the weekend lobbying party
leaders to hold at least one more session before the Parliament
disbanded for good after the snap election.
Her goals were threefold.
For one, she wants to push through
reforms that would make it easier for Iceland to amend its constitution.
Under the current law, amendments need to be adopted by the Parliament,
then approved again by the next set of lawmakers following another
parliamentary election. The new proposal would allow Parliament to put
changes to a national referendum vote. But once she leaves office next
month, she fears it could be years before lawmakers take the issue up
again.
“We’re trying to push for this change
before the Parliament is dissolved or we will not be able to do
anything for the next four or eight years,” she said. “We’re really
stuck.”
For another, with parliamentary
unable to convene, Jónsdóttir worries Benediktsson ― whom she called the
“crime minister” ― would use his remaining weeks in office to make new
appointments or change budgets for state-run enterprises.
“There’s a lot of maneuvers they can
still do,” she said, referring to his cabinet officials. “It’s very
difficult to have the oversight over these things happening when you
don’t have the tools of the Parliament.”

Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson arrives at the
presidential residence in Bessastadir, Iceland, after his government
collapsed last week.
Lastly, Jónsdóttir wants to go down fighting. She
expected to stay in office much longer. When she first entered electoral
politics, she vowed she wouldn’t run for more than two terms. But after
the Icelandic government collapsed last year amid a scandal over
then-Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson’s secret offshore
investments were revealed in the Panama Papers leak, she ran for a third time to secure herself a full term. But she won’t break that pledge twice.
“She made the promise and she has to
keep it,” Bogi Ágústsson, a political expert and journalist at the
Icelandic broadcaster RUV, told HuffPost. “But she has not quit
politics, definitely not.”
The populist Pirate Party stands to gain in the next election. The party tripled its support last year, in what Bloomberg
called the “most internationally watched election in Iceland’s
history,” and now has more experience in actual government. Jónsdóttir
is likely to remain an influential voice shaping its platform.
“She’s far too much of a political
animal to leave politics,” Ágústsson said. He noted that the Pirate
Party eschews traditional hierarchy, but that, as its co-founder and
best-known member internationally, Jónsdóttir isn’t likely to disappear
in the rank and file.
“They’re supposed to be all equal,” he added. “But, as in George Orwell’s book Animal Farm,
some animals are definitely more equal than others. She will definitely
be more equal than other animals, even as a private citizen.”
Still, he said, he wouldn’t be surprised to see her run for office again in a few years.
For now, Jónsdóttir, who became a
published poet at 22, said she plans to return to writing. She hopes to
chronicle what she’s learned as a legislator and possibly set up a think
tank to dig into issues of government transparency and digital rights.
“Oh, my God, I feel free,” she told
HuffPost in an earlier interview on Sunday. “I don’t have to think about
what I’m saying in regard to being part of a sort of hive. I’m free.”
