Bruce Gone to Pot

We do not want to sound alarmist. The Prime Minister has not taken to smoking ganja - at least there is no public admission that he does so.

It has been reported that when under stress, the PM takes to the kitchen and puts all his troubles in a pot and somehow gets relief by watching the flames do their job. In a sense the PM has admitted that like Capleton he is also a fireman. Just picture Bruce with the pot boiling, the flames lasting and saying to himself:

"Bun bad mind, bun bad budget, bun bad luck, bun Eddie!"

Not unlike a number of herbalists, Ras B finds some soothing relief in lighting up - raising flames. Such does not augur well for the Cabinet.  For example, can you imagine the trepidation felt by the Ministers when the CS invites them to lunch and says that he will be cooking?

That the CS resorts to cooking when under stress has some unintended consequences.  For example, Bruce will be in charge of the catering for the four day Cabinet Retreat.  Who will be the uncut members of the kitchen cabinet? Some have no doubt gone to pot, either smoking or sitting.

Bruce must be selfish in that stress release initiative for it is said "too many cooks spoil the broth". The country is anxiously awaiting what he is cooking up.  If the stress continues, then he may just open a cook shop.  Some may say that he is already running the country like one. IMF stew is on the menu.
