We just elected a new leader of the Conservative Party - Ed Stelmach so soon he will be our new Premier, King Ralph is retiring. Will be kind of sad to see him go. He had some great Ralphisms:
"You get a lot of free dinners but after that you get sort of tired, especially when you quit drinking, and then it's no fun at all, so I don't know why they would want to do it."
Klein talking to reporters at the Calgary Stampede on July 10, 2006 about his potential successors.
In the same scrum, he said: "I wake up in the morning and I say, 'Why am I here?' And it's because I'm not all there!"
"You would have to eat 10 billion meals of brains, spinal cords, ganglia, eyeballs and tonsils."
Klein in 2005 on the risk of being infected with bovine spongiform encephalitis, or mad cow disease.
"We're basically the same party, you know. Conservatives and Republicans are quite the same."
Klein speaking to reporters in Washington after a 2003 meeting with U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney.
"Dinosaur farts."
Klein's 2002 offering on what might have brought on the Ice Age that killed off dinosaurs.
"A fine city with too many socialists and mosquitoes. At least you can spray the mosquitoes."
Klein speaking in 1990 as a Progressive Conservative MLA from Calgary.
Yes, we will miss him, at least he was funny.
The weather here is down right balmy about 6 degrees. Now if the wind would quit life would be good! Just shipped out our late calves yesterday so things are all ready for next years calving now. Our first one could be due Jan. 11.
Just waiting for Christmas, it's funny we rarely have a white one.
