Anything nice booked with Hemiltin Cruises?
Are the prime minister and Mrs Muscat departing for a Big August Break?
I ask because the August Moon Ball was shifted from the correct date of the full moon (this Sunday, 10th August) to the night of a partial moon (last Sunday, 3rd August).
And yesterday, the government’s Department of Information released pictures of the prime minister formally placing flowers on Dom Mintoff’s grave, and everybody assumed it was to mark the anniversary of that hideous man’s death, because we remember only too well that he died in August.
But no, it wasn’t. And I knew that it wasn’t because that sod died pretty close to my birthday. It was to mark his birthday (6th August) and the DOI release said as much.
Mintoff died on 20th August. The most obvious day to mark with flowers on his grave would be his death and not his birthday. Dead people don’t have birthdays.
So I am assuming that the PM and Mrs Muscat are off on holiday and won’t be around on the10th and the 20th. Perhaps rather than being away for the duration, they’re taking a couple of mini-breaks on Facecream Phyllis’s sailing yacht as they generally do.
They can put it down as a working holiday, to discuss the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting next year.

They’ve been on holiday for the past one and a half years, why are you so surprised?
They are on Facecream Phyllis’s yacht every weekend just down the road from their Burmarrad home.
As that news article concerning The Malta Chamber of Commerce said: the “anything goes mentality” or a stab in the dark, is a sure sign of a government made up of amateurs and dilettantes.
The Opposition should have called the prime minister’s bluff when he threatened to keep parliament going throughout August. Mrs Muscat would have had him sleeping on the couch.
We should be celebrating the first anniversary of the earth shattering Whistleblower Act very soon. This qamel government should throw a party for all the whistleblowers who have come out of the woodwork to reveal the extent of PN corruption.
All zero of them!
Ah now we get it. This was an opportunity to commiserate with Mintoff’s birthday and not as the papers reported to commemorate his death. Meanwhile, The President was celebrating WW1.
Muscat is ‘wajs.’ He probably thinks that it is a good idea to celebrate Mintoff’s birthday. This way Muscat will have a good excuse to celebrate the centenary pretty soon.
I can already see the National Festivities Committee and the National Feasts Committee organising free Joseph Calleja concerts to celebrate:
“100 Sena mit-Twelid Tas-Salvatur.”
Surrealistic re-interpretation of space and time is a mark of capitalist/communist ideologies. It works!
Ha! They couldn’t even be bothered to commemorate Mintoff’s death anniversary properly. Even he came second to their holiday plans.
