CBC News: Sunday:
Check it out! I am going to be on CBC News Sunday doing a (what they call) a rant. They called me from Toronto after I sent them an e-mail with regards to a Paul Martin interview they did last Sunday. I guess they were impressed by my obvious clarity and wit and they thought "surely we would be remiss in not having this learned gentleman espousing his thoughts and views on our show". So there I was standing in front of the CBC building right on Portage avenue at 10 bells this AM doing my rant! (thats what they call it...a rant) I had been lying in bed half the night going over in my mind what I was going to say. I was instructed to use the 'meaty' part of my, clearly stunnming e-mail and commit it to memory. I was still going over it as I waited in the CBC lobby for my camera crew. Prepared, I walked out into the 3 degree temp of this dastardly chill (not sultry) morning and stood alone in front of the camera. My knees a little weak, I got through the first line and then....as if anticipated, my mind went blank. I tried again but stumbled, saying 'sovereignty scandal' instead of 'sponsorship scandal'....crap, at 4 AM while lying in bed I had anticipated a gaff just like that! Well, the third time was the charm, the cameraman stood beside the camera and said look at me and just tell me what you want to say. It worked. I am a star. I expect that they shall place my star right on Portage ave., on the Portage Avenue 'Walk of Fame' . What now??? Where will my television career take me??? Maybe the stage...STELLA,.. STELLA! YOU TALKIN TO ME? I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDA! HEY ROCKY, WATCH ME PULL A RABBIT OUT OF A HAT! I'M COMIN MA! The mind boggles. Well, its goodnight from you and its good night from him!
(soon to be) Sir Dennis.
