Joseph Muscat, interviewed by Malta Today:

That’s where Franco Debono comes in – he’ll be writing hajku for the Great Leader’s policies.
If Dr. Muscat must quote Mario Cuomo, he would probably had better quote this one:
“I have no plans, and no plans to plan.”
Or this one:
“I talk and talk and talk, and I haven’t taught people in fifty years what my father taught me by example in one week.”
They both fit Muscat to a T.

And another reflection… to think the hand that crafted that doctoral thesis has been yearning to broadcast its crafting of poetry…nice, innit, habibi?
The hand that crafted that doctoral thesis doesn’t write poetry. It writes the sort of pretentious, turgid academic posturing that nobody reads unless they have to.
“You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose.”

Poetry also enters another of Joseph’s mentor’s techniques.
The same mentor who gave him new-truthing.
This is about literally going from possibility to movement but ideologically going from movement to possibility.
I’ve now purposely left one other application-type out.
