					<description><![CDATA[This man is even more crazy and dangerous than I thought (and that is saying something).

Does he honestly think that the whole of Malta is made up of the Labour sheep who wave the Labour flag under his podium, like someone so aptly put it in a comment in one of your previous posts?

Does he honestly think that we are swallowing this rubbish he is dishing out?

Does he honestly think that because he managed to fool so many people with his election campaign lies, he can feed us anything now and keep believing him (for those who believed anyway, thank God I was not one of them).]]></description>

&quot;So basically Joseph Muscat has found a way to never have a budget deficit.&quot;

Actually if he legalized cannabis and taxed the bejesus out of it in a government monopoly he would have been further ahead.

That would  also increase tourism and sell more Twistees.]]></description>
