His views on social program waste, environmentalist deceit and criminals getting away with nothing but a slap on the wrist are surely an eye opener.<\/p>\n<p>Lowell was even nice enough to dedicate my book with the words &#8220;To Steve at Officiallyscrewed.com.  Keep up the good work Steve.  Lowell Green&#8221;.  Truly an inspiration and a big reason so many ridings in Eastern Ontario vote Tory blue.  Thank you Lowell.<\/p>\n<p>4)  I can continue to promote the good solid values of the CPC that I agree with.<\/p>\n<p>5)  I still <strong>can&#8217;t<\/strong> figure out how to set up the site to manage the three guest bloggers who have stepped forward to keep OfficiallyScrewed.com alive &#8230; but I will so bear with me Mac, Matt and W.<\/p>\n<p>6)  I can still slag on the CBC (although I will refrain from doing so while playoff hockey is on)<\/p>\n<p>I guess this is my way of saying I am not totally gone, nor are my Smackdowns!!  If the sidekick to an American Icon (Peace Moonbeam) can make his way to my site and whimper at my announced hiatus, then I know I need to continue to blog, even if it is sporadic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I have recently discovered a few interesting things that I CAN do (and a few I can&#8217;t): 1) I can still attend a blogger gathering in Ottawa and enjoy political banter with Victor (PhantomObserver), Clive (DoggerelParty), Jordan (Clear Conservative Thought) and Jordan&#8217;s friend Vanessa as I did last night. 2) I can still post [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","category-politics-federal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/835\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/officiallyscrewed.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
