Oops. Did it again, dammit.

I had to link that in there. It's just more proof that there are far too many people out there with a great deal too much time on their hands.

Prime Minister Martin has just prostituted himself in order to remain in power. This is a failing common to coalition and minority governments, but this one is especially unholy, as it seems unlikely that it'll save him.

Stephen Harper, though, is himself running around like an old whore putting on makeup. He is now determined to bring down the goverment ASAP, but since he knows Canadians can be apathetic about sleaze (as anyone looking at the history of the federal Liberal or Conservative governments would know) and fears that his social issues stance (rather more extreme than the average in this great land) makes him unpopular, he's being very cautious about it.

He's right to worry. The fed libs are pissing me off royally, but what's the alternative? A bunch of social troglodytes who want to drag Canada into the 19th Century? And the federal New Democratic Party--as government? Oh, please . . .

Mind you, they're the only bunch of serious candidates (apart from the marijuana party--who may be the only party who can make heads or tales of it all) who haven't had a shot at it. How bad could they be?

I'm not entirely glad you asked that question.
