Excuse me, dahrlings, but...

Let's Hear It For Narcissistic Megalomania!

And I’m actually not talking about the CEOs of major tour ops… but, now that you mention it…

I simply love how ‘narcissistic megalomania’ rolls off the tongue, Pumpkins. It’s a free pass to slip into outrageous robes and thunder on about how fabulous you are. Hello!!! And all these years I thought I was just being quirky.

Ghaddafi and Charlie Sheen may be onto something, dahrlings. OK, not the downright evil stuff – for most despots, that is so yesterday. (Apparently Harper’s G20 team didn’t get the memo.) But to have the ability to insist you are supremely wonderful in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary is truly an art. (Which is why my plastic surgeon swears I look ab fab and that eyebrows in the middle of my forehead are not the least bit freakish.) Shoot the naysayers!

It’s almost kind of like sort of maintaining your planes are not the ones which add capacity to the Canadian marketplace. Unless there are two kinds of planes out there -- those which add capacity and those which don’t. It’s possible I simply can’t actually tell them apart.

Fortunately, in the travel world, we only end up shooting ourselves. Mostly in the foot.
