One Man's Christmas Wishes

It is that time of year when we take some time to count our blessings as we end another year, to look back and say, regardless of our plight ,just how lucky we really are. 

With that in mind, here  are some of my  Christmas wishes. 

That Mayor Colin Kinsley will earn enough bonus travel points during this term that he never needs to buy another airline ticket in his life . 

That Initiatives Prince George's Gerry Offet has a multi billion dollar developer (who isn’t in the call center business) that would like to invest half his fortune in this community. 

That a recount will be held and Dan Rogers will be tied with Kinsley for the Mayor's chair, only this time Kevin Brown will be Rogers campaign manager. 

That "Gypsy" will be appointed to the Senate and her first business will be to clean up Conrad Black’s papers . 

That all of the WHL teams in the west are kidnapped by a Mexican chihuahua ranch (other than the Cougars) and Rick Brodsky finally hoists a banner into the rafters at CN Centre.

That city hall turns down a Hooters restaurant because …. there are not enough skilled Hooters ?.... and they opt instead to have ... you guessed it... another Hockey Enforcers on Ice. 

That my friend and colleague Hartley Miller finally sells 100 of his new book and gives the remaining ones to friends, just for laughs. 

That everyone will finally give the Health Care Rally a rest before it receives its 10 year pin. 

That Pat Bell , Shirley Bond and Jim Rustad reluctantly take a 40% raise at the insistance of the BC public and when they receive it (with the spirit of giving in their hearts) they donate their entire salaries for the year to the Teachers Union.

That Telus finally moves out of the age of the crank phone and teaches their operators in the Phillipines that Kamloops and Kelowna are spelled with a K not a C , and you really should have a phone that people can reach you at if your going to stay in the business. 

To Chadermando a special Xmas wish that we don’t have to cut his commnents, well at least until after the New Year . 

To Don Mackenzie , a brand new hunting rifle and a draw to shoot a Grizzly bear in Bella Colla. 

To Jethro, please come home, we miss you.

To Owl and to Camoose, Ammonra, Diplomat, Death to Socialism, Chester, Fed Up, Palopu, Tudenom, Ugly Duck and all of you others, the best of the holiday season . 

Finally, for all  who hope I get  a big lump of coal for Christmas, may your wish be granted.

I'm Meisner, and that is one man's opinion.

Good one Ben, and the same to you and all other 250 posters have a Great Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Ben,

Get me your address and i will see that your coal wish is taken care of.

Kidding Ben, glad i found this site, and thanks for keeping us regular folk up to date.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Chistmas Ben And I hope If I get your wish for me You will come with me, to hunt The KING OF BEARS. Also Ben Have a Great New Year.
Ben, may all your Christmas wishes come true!

A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

And, yes, downtown city hall is indeed a great location for a Hooters Restaurant!

DIPLOMAT.
Thanks Ben, but your choice of an appointment and accompanying task escapes me.
I feel you would be much better equipped for the job, as I am just a commoner without the advanced education and abilities you possess.
I can only attribute my small successes to hard work and fortitude.
Illusions of grandeur have never been my forte.
I have great respect for honesty, and though truth may be more of a bitter pill to swallow than fiction-I must stick to my own beliefs.
Telling of truth comes foremost-but my opinion of truth can differ from others.
I am certain no person is exempt from injustices during a lifetime, but if one can manage to "stand tall" and weather the storms, that in itself is an accomplishment.
Some people are driven to achieve success-others are just along for the ride.
I might add, if I were offered an appointment to the senate (God forbid), I would most certainly decline.
I seek not an "ego" trip, so it appears I have blindsided you into creating an opinion of me that is far from fact.
Do have a Merry Christmas, and may you be asked to join the Senate in my place in the New Year.
You would be a much better fit.
Cheers!!!
Wishing you and your staff a very merry Christmas, and may all your wishes be fulfilled.
Thank you Ben & Elaine for sticking around for another term. I would like to wish you both a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

I am amazed how we are blessed when we bless others.

I also enjoy positive comments and alternative solutions to life's problems when they are shared with others.

Thank you for the reminder to count our own blessings. We are fortunate to live where we do. We have computers and news provided to us every day to comment on.

We are in the top 2% of the worlds population who enjoy a lifestyle others will never know.

I've learned that my purpose in life is a life of purpose, serving others. I'm thankful for all I have been given. I offer blessings on everyone this Christmas season. Chester
For the City Councillors a Christmas Gift. May they find their voices and use them in opposition to His Worship, and may they be more aggressive in nature. May Santa take away their rubber stamps.

Thanks Ben. and to All a Merry Christmas.
More than anything I would wish for "peace" in this world, and "goodwill" towards your fellow man-or woman.
Surely this would bring about happiness both at home and abroad.
Thank you , Ben, for making the effort to reveal my identity.
Yes, it worked with a few.
I did not think this could be possible, but there you go, and why would I believe your action brought the desired results for you???
If you had an "axe to grind" you have now achieved success.
I have never been one to actually believe the "chickens come home to roost," or "what goes around, comes around." It could happen!!!!
Sorry, no harm done, but I would not want you to expose one of your posters who could be harmed.
Do have a Merry Christmas,and the wish is for one and all.
Give Conrad my condolences. I understand his court case will not even be initiated until 2007.
That job surely would have kept me absent-and busy!!!!
As I said, you are much better qualified!!!!
