Google Translate, from Chinese to English, gives Konrad Mizzi as ‘Kermit Lewis’. I somehow think this name will stick.

Google Translate has better English than so many Labour government officials and their spokespersons.
I think that Kermit Lewis is referring to Parliament Secretary Edward Zammit Lewis who was first to mention in public the 35% China share.
[Daphne – Oh, spoilsport.]
Darn it! Please, can we call him Kermit anyway?
Careful, Elena won’t take it kindly to being called the wife of Kermit Lewis.
There is something decidedly odd about Konrad Mizzi.
Observe his jerky upper limb gesticulations, and the contortions of his oral musculature. I am morally convinced that Kermit Lewis is, in reality, a Chinese robot planted in our midst to do their bidding.
Where’s that ‘Like’ thumb icon, Daphne?
I have a feeling that he belongs to the Adams family.
Kermit: If what I’m saying doesn’t make any sense, well then… go ahead and kill me.
Doc Hopper: [takes off his hat and fluffs his hair; reluctantly] All right boys. Kill him.
And George Vella had him for breakfast.

Bad news for Tony Zarb

Good one, Little Tony. Can’t stop laughing!
Is fat Tony still on that? Ittha daqthekk!
Chinese is not an alphabet, in the Western meaning (a combination of consonants and vowels to form a word), it is a set of ideograms, hence the difficulty in ‘transliterating” a proper noun. The prevent a disastrous (often comical) back translation of a name from languages like Chinese and Japanese, the norm for the translators in these languages is to insert the foreign name in its Latin transcription in the Chinese or Japanese text.
Meanwhile, Muscat thinks that the world revolves around him http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20131016/local/70-migrants-expected-to-be-brought-to-malta.490604#.Ul56j8saySM
Further to Mr. Apap Bologna declaration regarding his shareholding in Electrogas Limited, he should also declare his relation to Mr. Gasan and remove himself from attending any MEPA meetings evaluating building applications by Mr. Gasan or any of his companies.
To think that energy tariffs were and will remain this government’s sole objective.
As if an interconnector and an EU funded pipeline could be ignored in all this. Someone asked the most pertinent question on this blog;
Did they even consider the lower rates possible using the interconnector, even daytime before setting out on their ‘costing’ exercise to justify this Area 51?
What’s terrifying is the notion that Labour will insist on this adventure just to prove they can actually do something, whatever the cost.
That is not the signal to send out to industry, observers or the electorate. The money has to come from somewhere, given that Muscat’s propensity to leave all options open and his failure to clarify anything lately, one can’t help but think a new ‘incertezza’ is taking hold.
Business, meantime, is at an all time low. Everyone holding their breath. Just ask anyone, hushed tones, puzzled looks more likely. The ones before reality sets in, it’s just that no one’s willing to go there first.
If there’s one thing Muscat has to learn fast is that he’s not the novelty anymore, and there will come a time when the posing and jeering at Cecilia won’t distract any longer.
Too bad he’s prime minister then, nothing really worth doing for all the schlepp it entails.
