Freedumb of DePress

Freedumb of DePress

The Editor was in a pensive mood as he arrived in the office this morning, none of the usual banter with the anti-man reporter or trying to steal cheeserolls from the fat bastard reporter, no playful gleam in his eyes, all he said was “meeting in five minutes”… the reporters dutifully filed into the room and took their places….. the editor began without preamble “it has been six months since the government passed the Broadcast Amendment Bill of 2017, one hour every day of public service messages, we all know it started well, reports of various planned projects for the improvement of the lives of the Citizens, layman explanations of laws, ‘The cigarette and You’  was a classic, ‘Why potato when a Plantin will do’ that kind of thing was good, but now… it seems they have run out of things to tell us, look at the transcript provided for today” ….

  • ·         Minister Patterson was given an honorary PHD by big sawaki Iflaw for fixing a pothole at the entrance to the Tertiary education facility, the Minister will not be called ‘doctor’ because it is simply a ‘Pot Hole Degree” and not a doctorate… next time Patto, nex’ time…was the promise, The Prime Minister was on hand to congratulate Patto and remarked that under his regime “potholes were now being filled with real tar and not black sawdust” Minister Patterson expressed his delight at the presence of such a busy man and engaged in a lengthy conversation on the cost of black sawdust.
