I was going to have some wry amusement with Muscat's apparent inability to distinguish between homosexuality as an orientation and some of the activities associated with it.  He's shown this before now, by confusing the decriminalisation of sodomy with what he called, in his eagerness to ingratiate himself with the LGBT community, the decriminalisation of homosexuality.

Homosexuality was never a criminal activity, and when you see Muscat's Labour party taking the credit for decriminalising it, you twig that for the mainstreamers in the party, being gay is simply a function of the male physical act.  They don't really get it.

On Friday, Muscat confirmed his scant understanding of homosexuality by asking whether homosexuals were still barred from giving blood. 

I mean, seriously, is he unable to comprehend that it is not homosexuality that is the problem when giving blood, but the risks associated with certain lifestyles, including but certainly not limited to that associated with male homosexuality?   This is someone who wants to be seen as the idol of the LGBT community?

I could also have had some fun with the unconscious betrayal of himself by Muscat, when he said that his drip-drip-drip method of unveiling his proposals was so that people would be given time to digest them?

Seriously, you really think we're that dim-witted?

But instead, what I want to do is tell the Federation of Conservationist Hunters, or whatever silly euphemism they want to use, to can it, once and for all. 

Not content with one of their fraternity pulling an obviously staged stunt in front of coincidentally conveniently sited cameras, they are now starting to get stroppy with Simon Busuttil.

Far be it from me to surmise that Busuttil is in the crossed-hairs because he's quite obviously hurting Muscat's raw ambition.  After all, why should the hunters stick up for Muscat, he hasn't promised them anything, has he?    I'm sure it's only happenstance that it's the PN that are being attacked, along with the EU.

In fact, if Muscat had any sense, he'd promise to have hunting banned once and for all, which would certainly get him the green and cuddly vote.  The chances of that happening, of course, are as great as Anglu Farrugia being reinstated as Muscat's deputy, so I'm not likely to have a problem.

But in the meantime, would the hunters' federation please do us all a favour and rein in their testosterone-fuelled machismo once and for all?   The rest of us really, really don't have much sympathy for you and your so-called sport.
