Exclusive Interview with Poose at the Wedgewood

I spoke with Poose live at the Wedgewood tonight with Ramondo shouting in the background. Always in good form, her voice was one of purity and reason in an otherwise cacophonous room.

In this exclusive interview, Poose, a Garth Turner prodigy, related what's foremost on her mind at the moment: a taste, if you will, of what's to come in this online onslaught, conservatively titled "The Daily Poose Post."

Asked to sound off on all things big and small, Poose set the phone line ablaze, rapping solid for five minutes, sometimes scathing, occasionally contemplative, but always on point. Sure, the name "Poose" sounds cute and cuddly but believe me, for every inch of softness, there's a mile of Machiavellian tough love. Snippets of tonight's machine gun editorial mow down:

On Politics: 

1. Bob Rae - why didn't they elect that man head of the Liberal Party for God's sake!
2. Barrack Obama - yes we can! He's fabulous.
3. Steven Harper: "the brain"- but he's one manipulative bastard.
4. Stockwell Day: the man is an idiot. He thinks the world's 6,000 years old.
5. Ralph Goodale: we love that good little prairie boy.

On Action Needed: 

1. the environment should be the number one priority on all political agendas
2. Canada needs to pull out of Afghanistan. It's a NATO mission, not a Canadian mission.
3. the 2010 Olympics: a bunch of claptrap. A 2 week party for a select few. What about the Downtown East Side? I guess their vote doesn't count so who cares, right?
4. Legalize drugs and stop the nonsense. 

And until next time, keep your ears open and your Birks well oiled.
