Last week, Chuck Strahl, Barry Penner’s Federal BFF and one of Chilliwack’s Three Musketeers (well, Two Musketeers Plus John Les Who Is Also There, I Guess) announced that he would not be running for re-election. Now, being devoted to Barry Penner as I am, I don’t really know too much about Chuck. However, I can say this: he certainly stood next to Barry Penner every so often.

To recognise his outstanding career and his great achievements in the field of Standing In the Frame When Barry Penner Has His Picture Taken, I proudly offer the Chuck Strahl Retrospective Experience, Featuring Barry Penner. Just click here to re-live his accomplishments (for the full effect, be sure to open this in the background.)

I’m sorry, I don’t know why I put this up. There is no Barry Penner in this picture. Just some Moustache Dude, a Red Scarf Lady, and that guy with what appears to be reading glasses and a sweater vest. No way Barry Penner would be caught dead with these squares.

Barry Penner’s ongoing feud with his cat Ranger has taken an interesting turn.  While Barry and this animal have had their disagreements in the past, it appears that Barry Penner may have finally found a use for his flammable feline. It seems a Facebook crowd is forming to do as Facebook crowds do and determine the next leader of the BC Liberal party.  Their chosen candidate? None other than Barry’s very own kitty companion, Ranger. Of course, this makes perfect sense. You get Barry Penner’s cat elected to the top of the BC Liberal totem pole, and you naturally get all the wisdom and experience of the world’s best Former Minister of the Environment And Current Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation, but keep Barry Penner free to be his usual Environment-Ministering and Aboriginal-Reconciliationing self. The best of both worlds, I’d say.

Clearly, this is being masterminded by Barry “the puppetmaster” Penner, in a bid to install a new premier that he alone controls with his secret stash of organic catnip and dolphin-friendly tuna fish. It may be a bit of a modification to his master plan, but a well-thought out one, worthy of any Bond villain. What does Barry Penner have to say about this?

“He’s clawing his way to the top.”

Look out, Victoria. Ranger’s coming.

With El Gordo’s announced resignation, Barry Penner’s plan is finally becoming clear. Here’s what I’ve figured out so far:

  1. Fix The Environment
  2. Get transferred out of that dead-end Environment Minister job
  3. Convince El Gordo to quit (read between the lines of Barry Penner’s comments here… it’s obvious it was Barry Penner’s doing)
  4. Become the new Premier of British Columbia
  5. and so forth.

Obviously, we aren’t sure of all the details yet, but it’s clear now that the road to the premier’s office has opened up for the best MLA in existence in the history of the universe. I’d be surprised if they even bother with a leadership convention; it’s obvious that Barry Penner is their man.

As everyone should know by now, Vander Zalm’s HST-themed super-villain troupe has finally announced their ‘Hit List‘ of MLAs that they are going to try to recall over this whole sales tax snafu. I took a look over the list when it was first published and confirmed with satisfaction that Barry Penner was nowhere in sight (he was probably off in The Environment at the time). I figured that somebody over in Fight HST’s underground lair had seen my site and had been converted to the ways of the Barry Penner.

However, I had a bit of a surprise today… the Fight HST Hombres have on their website a list of 24 names up for recall… including one Minister of The Environment Barry Penner. Hmm… did they think that by not including him in the press release or any news story that they will somehow sneak it by me?  Well, the joke is on them. They obviously did not know that I have a crack team of Barry Penner researchers that do nothing all day but comb through TV, newspapers and web sites for any and all mention of everybody’s favorite MLA.  It’s not that I’m worried, though. They probably just have him on there to make the other guys look really bad in comparison. After all, there is no way that Barry Penner is getting recalled. They couldn’t risk it; The Environment would fall apart without his expert Ministering Of!

Of course, this is one contest where I’ll root for John Les over Barry Penner any day of the week. Go Les! You can do it!
