This just in;   -in The Star that is;

"Ottawa auctioning off thongs  to help balance budget."  Honestly,--I didn't make this up---and to prove that , here is the photograph .

The article continues;

"Ottawa;-It gives a whole new meaning to Crown assets. The Government of Canada in its ongoing quest to balance the books is selling off government property, including --ahem--ladies' thong underwear.It's all about the , uh, bottom line. After all, the Conservative Government has vowed to eliminate the deficit four years from now. Property seized by or forfeited to the Crown must be disposed of.  Public Works and Services Canada's website is currently displaying a range of sexy thongs that come in pink, magenta, violet, blue, silvery black, white and nude.  The thongs along with a pile of bras were among items stolen from an Ottawa lingerie boutique recovered by the Ottawa Police Service. "

Think I'll get a few.  Just to help balance the budget. -----They'll look great under the Ku Klux Klan tunic. (See yesterday's blog)
