WEIRD STUFF:
JULIE COUILLARD-THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING:
I always know when Julie Couillard has launched another effort in her continued campaign to make money by imitating Paris Hilton ie "being famous for being famous". Molly had more than a little bit of fun at the expense of the voyeuristic section of the population at the beginning of the "great tit scandal" and the latter revelations about Couillard's past. Who knows how many hundreds of people have dropped by this site in their search for "Julie Couillard tits" and "Julie Couillard pics". Every time Couillard scores a point in her financial campaign back here they come . Do a search on this blog to find the essense of the joke. It's connected to the photo above, a picture of the "blue tit", something that Julie would have had if she had worn her famous dress during our six months of Canadian winter.





The problem is that, despite how much I may try to construct weird humour, I can never equal the weirdness and humour of the reality in situations such as these. It's beyond me. This thing is its own parody. I do, however, take a sick pleasure in giving the voyeurs a little bit of annoyance. Tracing back the hits connected to this image I find that the vast majority come from various government offices during so-called "work hours". Not that I have any great objections to this. Personally I think it's great. I'd much rather have the average civil serpent searching the internet for a cheap thrill than actually working and doing harm. this, I guess, may be Molly's most significant contribution to "harm reduction" in our society.





Another thing that I notice is that Couillard is definitely playing this for all it is worth, and making at least a moderate success out of it. She'll keep pumping the pump until it is utterly dry, and so far she's made a good effort out of it. Take, for instance, "name recognition". I suspect that the majority of Canadians are just like me. The name Couillard evokes immediate recognition. I had to look up the name of her disgraced ex-boyfriend, the late cabinet minister Maxime Bernier. It drew a blank. I'm sure that Bernier, like all conservative guardians of "morality", has a fine future ahead of him in sleazy real estate deals and shady government contracts, but he just doesn't have the pizzazz of Couillard. I'm also sure that everything that each one of this pair says is bad about the other is absolutely true- and deserves elaboration for that matter.





Another thing that I've noticed is that two of the images that I have used in previous Couillard articles get excessive hits from google image searches whenever Julie is in the news. I really don't know how images labelled "biker chick" and "domiatrix" automatically bring people to articles about Couillard, but it's a fact that they do. Weird. As to Julie's "disreputable past", my own take on it, should I ever meet her, would be something like, "what's a nice biker chick like you doing getting involved with those criminal conservatives". What is the difference between "Steven's Angels" and the "Hell's Angels" ? Answer-success ! It is a never ending source of wonder to me how much so-called 'conservatives" in our society concentrate on "sins of the crotch" while ignoring and even praising "sins of the wallet". I am no fan of "the left", and the first word that comes to my mind when that term is used is "liar". But the right evokes a different conditioned reflex. For them the word "crook" comes as a first response.





But anyways, I just had to go and see what Julie's latest effort at publicity gathering was, and the result was bizarre beyond my expectations. Here's the story from the Globe and Mail.

Julie Couillard dress fetches $1,000:
SIDHARTHA BANERJEE

April 29, 2009 at 1:03 PM EDT
MONTREAL — The now infamous low-cut dress worn by Julie Couillard when she appeared at a Rideau Hall swearing-in ceremony in 2007 with her ex-boyfriend Maxime Bernier almost didn't garner any serious bids at a Montreal charity auction for epilepsy research on Tuesday night.
Ms. Couillard, a photogenic brunette, was prominently displayed on the front pages of numerous newspapers wearing the revealing frock, which ended up fetching $1,000. The paisley, flouncy dress with a plunging neckline was bought by a Montreal gynecologist whose husband is heavily involved in epilepsy research.

But the amount fell far below the $5,000 Ms. Couillard had hoped the dress would get — if for no other reason than the controversy her wearing it had created, particularly after her relationship with ex-cabinet minister Mr. Bernier ended. “I would have hoped to at least collect $5,000, but hey, at the end of the day it's a thousand and I'm so happy that it was a woman that bought it,” said Ms. Couillard, who was in charge of the charity event that raised more than $31,000.

“What happened with this dress is just the living proof that sexism is still out there and very healthy and it's only politically correct to just say that we have equality among the sexes — but we don't.”

Couillard was wearing the dress when first photographed with former Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier who later resigned when it was revealed he had left sensitive documents at her house. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ryan Remiorz)

“It's still a man's world,” she added.

Mr. Bernier resigned his cabinet post as foreign affairs minister after it was revealed that he had left sensitive government documents at Ms. Couillard's Montreal-area home. The war-of-words between the two led to a public airing of Ms. Couillard's biker-filled past.

Ms. Couillard herself was plagued by epilepsy through out her childhood but hasn't had seizures since she was 18 thanks to medication, but she said that research funding was lacking in the field.

The much-ballyhooed dress was purchased Tuesday night by Dr. Lucie Morin, a Montreal doctor whose husband, Dr. Lionel Carmant, is a neurologist involved in epilepsy research and head of the foundation the auction was for.

“I bought it for the cause,” said Ms. Morin, who added she was disappointed that the dress wasn't living up to the hype and the bids at the end of the night were uninspired. “(Epileptic research) is a very important cause because it doesn't get a lot of attention.”

Ms. Morin said she had no real interest in the dress and had no plans to do anything special with it.

“It's not the kind of dress I'd wear myself, but I'll see if my daughter likes it,” Ms. Morin said.

Ms. Couillard said the auctioning of the dress closes a chapter in her life, but she never imagined the dress, plucked quickly from a rack at a BCBG store in downtown Montreal, would create the stir that it did. “It makes me laugh,” she said.

“I find it funny that in the end something they tried to destroy me with, I was capable of turning it around and use it for something as positive as helping sick children.”

Ms. Couillard said her future will include working the conference circuit, with the theme of her talks being perception. “I can talk quite a bit about that with the year I've just had,” a confident Ms. Couillard said with a broad smile. “Basically to tell people never let the perception people have of you define who you are and understand very clearly how you perceive yourself limits you in life.”

Ms. Couillard has written a book about her life and describes Mr. Bernier as an inveterate skirt-chaser who was more interested in his clothes than his ministerial dossiers.

Mr. Bernier, elected in 2006, had been considered a star in Prime Minister Stephen Harper's government and a star among the Tories' Quebec base until the so-called Bernier-Couillard affair.

He was easily re-elected in 2008

There it is in all its living glory. I wish Julie well in her campaign to avoid ever getting a real job. She would, however, have been better advised to take up politics to begin with. I thought such incredible bad taste was the domain of the USA and Japan, but I guess it's as Canadian as frostbite as well. I hope that Julie's little foray into pop-feminism above isn't what the article makes it appear to be ie that "sexism is alive" because the dress fetched only a miserly $1,000, but who knows when you are dealing to people like this. Probably not; probably just a complaint about the media attention paid to her appearance. I hope !! Speaking of "perception" Molly is going to hazard a bet here. Should Julie actually go on the lecture circuit I will bet that only 1% of the people who come out will be there because they are breathlessly awaiting her incredibly profound, philosophical and deep thoughts on the matter.
Too weird.
Too Weird.
TOO WEIRD.

HUMOUR:
TALES FROM JULIE'S MATTRESS:
It's late at night and Molly is well into her sick fantasies. It seems that "somebody" bugged the premises occupied by Julie Couillard, the late paramour of now disgraced cabinet minister Maxime (Mad Max) Bernier. Ms Couillard has had her domicile inspected by "security experts" (whatever that may mean), and they say that there is evidence of bugging devises that have since been removed. Perhaps true. Very much in keeping with the paranoid actions of the Harper government, no matter how much Sneaky Stevie may try to bully his way through this latest scandal which, for the moment, eclipses the "family values' of Manitoba MP Vic Taews and his infidelity (for which Harper plans to award him with an appointment to the Supreme Court, thereby getting him out of his hair). I LOVE that Conservative adherence to principle. It gives me faith that anarchism is not the only political movement plagued with hypocrites and looneys (though, according to Anarchy, a Journal of Desire Perverted, "hypocrisy" is a term that cannot be applied to our own loonies- ah well right wing loonies and "left wing" loonies).
But enough of sectarian sniping. My own bete noires will die their own predetermined death by slow attrition. Back to those who actually have relevance- our dear oh-so-moral Conservative leaders. Molly brings you this broadcast, as transmitted via the microphone in Julie's mattress. Picture the following:
Mad Max is lying naked on the floor, trussed up in drag and bound head to foot. He has borrowed the off-colour lipstick that he stole from Sneaky Stevie's dresser( Molly has often commented on Sneaky Stevie's choice of lipstick on this blog) to colour his pale lips.
Julie is standing over him, dressed in old leather clothes left over from her younger days, and snapping a whip. Great role-playing sex fantasies for our defenders of "traditional morality", but what do you expect ? THAT was "traditional morality" as normal sexual impulses were perverted into strange pathways and never talked about. THAT is what the crooks who babble about our present "lack of morality" want to restore ie the "morality" of the clerical sadists of residential schools where "purity' is preached in public while the grossest forms of vice are practised in private in the most violent manner possible.
Anyways, here's the explanation for the misplaced documents. It was a erotic role playing game, quite often engaged in by "defenders of morality" gone wrong. I quote from Julie's mattress:
"Unt now schveinhundt. Ve know you haf ze zocuments. You veel geef zem to us or ve vill begin vis ze vip". Und vo must not getten ze hard-on. Mach schnell."
Well, it's as good an explanation as any other for gross stupidity. I guess the thrill was sufficient that Mad Max forgot to remove the props. Ooops !









HUMOUR:


JULIE COUILLARD'S TITS REDUX:


Mad Max Bernier is in the news once more after his long-suffering boss Sneaky Stevie Harper has finally turfed him over the latest allegations about his affair with Julie Couillard ie that he left top secret government documents at her residence. These apparently included papers on NATO strategy in Afghanistan and his briefing notes for the recent NATO summit in Bucharest Romania. While initially denying that Bernier's demotion "had anything to do with" the Couillard affair (typical sneaky Stevie statements) the firing was accomplished shortly before an interview with Couillard on the TVA channel that was broadcast in Quebec last night. The Conservatives are now in full cover-up mode. You can view a video of the interview at Canoe.TV.

MOLLY INTERUPTION FOR BREAKING NEWS:

LATEST NEWS- SNEAKY STEVIE STILL SAYS THIS EVENING THAT BERNIER'S DEMOTION "HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS PERSONAL LIFE BUT WAS "MERELY" BECAUSE OF MISHANDLING OF GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. COUGH, COUGH, COUGH ! THIS ONE HAS TO BE PRESERVED FOR POSTERITY AS ONE OF THE GREAT ALL-TIME EXAMPLES OF POLITICAL DOUBLESPEAK IN RECORDED HISTORY. ANOTHER PIECE OF NEWS NOW FILTERING OUT IS THAT COUILLARD IS CONNECTED IN SOME UNDETERMINED WAY WITH SOME SECURITY FIRMS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS FOR PERSONNEL SCREENING AND AIRPORT DETECTION MACHINES...STAY TUNED. NOW BACK TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING.



Over the past two days Molly's Blog has had about 200 hits searching for information on, ahem, "Julie Couillard's tits". I shit you not. The matter comes from a previous post on this affair where the word "tit' was included in the body of the article. One of these people even forgot to make the noun plural. One wonders whether he was searching for Julie's left or right tit.



Now this whole matter could make one cry at the state of humanity. Bernier was supposed to represent some sort of intellectual elite of Canadian conservatism, and it is not just his performance in this affair but his general fumbling ways in government that should give one pause over what the term "elite" means in the context of Conservative politics. At least it gives a good argument for anarchism. Do we really NEED such obviously deficient "leaders" ? Is perhaps the average intelligence of the average person about 50 IQ points ahead of these our "glorious leaders" ? Couldn't things be handled much better in a true democracy where the public actually decides public affairs rather than relying on such "representatives"? Ah, these are great questions to ponder.



But another thing to be sad about is the large number of people desperately searching about the internet for a voyeuristic glance at the mammalian equipment of yet another of our pseudo-celebrities. There is little doubt that the 200 people who have landed at Molly's Blog represent an infinitesimal fraction of those who are seeking such such a peek via the internet. Sad. Very sad. The searches come from across the North American continent, from Britain, New Zealand and Australia. There was even one from Argentina.



Well, all of my opinions about the state of mind of the world's population aside Molly is nothing but an accommodating little pussycat. You want "Julie Couillard's tits" you got em. Now, exclusively on Molly's Blog, three fully revealing pictures of "Julie Couillard's tits" for your viewing pleasure. please refer to the three photos above. Remember that the plumage and songs of our avian co-denizens of the Earth are the common property of all humankind.



The first picture is of the "Blue Tit". The second is of the "Willow Tit" (how does the old song "tit willow, tit willow ... go. Molly can't remember). The third and best is of the "Great Tit". Yes, Couillard is part of humanity, and thus the Great Tit belongs to her. Julie Couillard has "Great Tits", and these are now featured here at Molly's Blog.



YES...that "Molly's Blog" , the greatest "pornitholigical site" on the whole internet. bringing you tit pictures that you never dreamed existed. Hey guys, keep that twitching left hand under control until you log out. Yes, Julie Couillard has "Great Tits", but never let it be said that Molly doesn't as well. You try nursing 8 kittens at once and see how your mammaries develop.



This story has great potential, and Molly certainly intends to run down the field with this football in future. The whole bizarre matter is a true gift to comedians and "parodists". Stay tuned here as Molly's Blog explores what the microphones in Couillard's bed(it's true) might have said. Oh those nasty fantasies ! Does Sneaky Stevie really do that ? Til then...

CANADIAN POLITICS:
THE MINISTER AND THE "BIKER CHICK":
There is a tactic that works the majority of times if you want to "get away with something". It's called "brazening it out". In the anarchist world Stuart Christie became famous for this when, during a plot to kill the fascist dictator Franco, he tried to smuggle explosives across the Spanish border. No sneaking across the mountains at midnight for him. He crossed the border in full Scottish regalia, playing his bagpipes, with the explosives hidden under his kilt. The assumption was that no Spanish border guard would ever look under the kilt of a Scotsman, knowing what is usually there. That depended upon a really inflated estimate of the worldly wisdom of the average Spanish border guard. Ooops ! Or at least that's the way the legend goes. No nuts, just bombs. Ore maybe really big nuts and bombs besides. Another term for this, taken from old Edgar Allen Poe stories, is "hiding something in plain sight". Needless to say Christie got caught, and his imprisonment under Spain's fascist regime is another story entirely.
Our dear sweet beloved comrade leader Stephan Harper here in Canada has adopted the "brazening it out" tactic as perhaps his one and only response to the ever-repeating cycles of scandal that sweep up against his minority government. Yeah, it works, but only because his opposition is so feeble. The term for his attitude is "hubris" and the term for what he is heading for is the Greek Goddess "Nemesis". As Molly has said before here Sneaky Stevie is no fool. He knows exactly how to play the various factions in his party, even if said factions may be no more swift than his Liberal opposition. He holds together a coalition that is naturally fissionable by its very nature, throwing bones to the various wings of his Party as needed to satisfy their hunger. He sits and he waits and he plots in hope of getting the exact and proper time to head to the polls, to get a majority and to implement his full program -the nature of which he never directly states. A consummate politician of there ever was one. Molly tips her rather faded Easter bonnet to him.
But Stevie is too smart for himself. Every "victory" that he gains over his feeble opposition merely reinforces his illusions of invincibility and spurs him to repeat the same pattern over and over. What Sneaky Stevie doesn't understand is that you can win very victory and yet lose the war. Not that he has any great alternatives. He sits on top of a mass of loose cannons, any one of which can explode at any time. He can tighten the screws as much as he wants on the religious right in his Party- within limits, of course-, because they will vote for his Party irregardless. What he cannot do is assure the personal morality of his more business oriented supporters. The whole idea is almost a contradiction in terms. Sooner or later some great and grievous financial impropriety will surface If he doesn't go to the polls soon enough, an impropriety sufficient to sink his electoral chances with a cynical(and rightfully so) electorate will happen. But for now we have merely personal scandals.
Maxime Bernier is the latest Minister of Foreign Affairs down Ottawa way. "Foreign Affairs" is such an apt term. Basically under Harper it consists of either making excuses for being screwed by the government of the USA or denying that such screwing exists. At the same time it consists of screwing everyone else that the US government feels should be screwed. The soap opera nature of this is obvious, and truly vigilant "politics watchers" are advised to make up a flow chart of the screwers and the screwees. Bernier has been criticized for his incompetence before in his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs, though Molly doubts that he is really any more incompetent than any other Minister in any other position. Our political system is hardly a meritocracy.
What has tripped up Bernier is his choice of bed-partners (and worse - arm candy). Some time ago he was raked across the coals in the national press for showing up at an official function with his then girl friend Julie Couillard at an official function. What was the problem ? Well, it was last August. The "dog days of summer" have a meaning. Slow news days kiddies. Seems that Couillard was showing a little too much tit and leg at this appearance. No doubt the "source" of the press leak was some sort of parliamentary wives's club.
The whole matter came and went with all the substance of a politician's promise even though the "meat" of the matter was just as available 9 months ago as it is today. This May our ever-enterprising journalistic corps finally woke up to who Julie Couillard is. Love that Johnny-on-the-spot investigative reporting. If you want the full story it is available HERE in an article in the Montreal Gazette. The basics of it are as follows.
Back in 1997 Couillard married a Quebec biker named Stephane Sirois, a member of the 'Rockers', associated with the Hell's Angels, after having previously dated a man that then boss of the Quebec Hells Angels Maurice Boucher suspected of being a police informant. The Hells put pressure on Sirois, and said that he could either marry Couillard or continue with his association with the gang- but not both. Sirois chose Couillard. It wasn't a complete divorce from his previous associates. Sirois later rejoined the Rockers after his divorce from Couillard after two years of marriage. Sirois also went on to become a major informant against the Hells in subsequent trails. Couillard, leading an apparently charmed life, also "went on" from her biker associations to link up with much more serious organized crime- ie the Conservative Part of Canada.
What Molly finds amazing in all of this is that it should generate surprise. Is it really a surprise that bikers and their associates should be part and parcel of the same social circles as up and coming lawyers ? Uhhh....don't you party with your business associates ? Is it really surprising that conservative lawyers like Bernier are part of such social circles ? The Jesus Saves stuff and kids' hockey on Saturday night clips are only for the rubes. The reality is considerably different. No surprise whatsoever.
What is sad about this whole affair is that the so-called "opposition" tries to make hay about this connection with the underworld as if it was a matter of a "threat to national security". Blahh,blahh, blahh, phewww. That's the sound of yet another of Molly's hairballs. Say duh. The connection between the "legitimate organized crime" of government and the "illegitimate organized crime" of illegal gangs is a constant throughout the history of most countries. This is NOT a "threat to national security". It is actually a window into how our ruling class operates in the real world despite their public protestations of "morality". Here comes the obligatory anarchist rhetoric.... "national security" is a threat to the "personal security" of those the politicians rule.Its absence is our own security. No government means no great and grievous thieves. Simple crookedness is business as usual for our political class.
But who really deserves a "genius award" in all this sordid mess ? Certainly not Bernier, who has visibly demonstrated that an erect penis is larger than a brain in his case. Certainly not Sneaky Stevie who merely pushes the same old arrogant buttons that have served him so well. Any monkey could do that. Certainly not the feeble opposition (do they have much to hide themselves ?) who chatter about "national security" when there is a great and obvious other issue. No...Molly tips her faded Easter bonnet to Julie Couillard here and now. This woman lives an obviously charmed life. She skated through many years of suspicion by a biker gang who dismissed her as a "slut". This is one smart "slut". She had the intelligence to know the obvious. When you are in doo-doo with one gang- link up with a bigger and nastier gang. There is NO bigger and nastier gang in our country than the one that Couillard has presently linked up with. Any hit man taking up a contract on her now would have to be obviously deranged because he would be caught from the get-go. How much money compensates for 25-n0-parole ? There never was such a life insurance policy. Molly votes for Julie as our next Prime Minister. She certainly has more intelligence than the present contenders.
