grow some grapefruits now, paul

new orleans needs help now. not tomorrow, and not next week.

i know that if stephen harper were prime minister, a formal announcement would be being made today (or possibly yesterday) showing our support for our friends and neighbours, and an immediate pledge for the gun registry to be scrapped and all future money earmarked for it to go to relief efforts along the gulf coast.

but that's just dreaming, isn't it?

last week i was driving around southern manitoba, as i am wont to do from time to time, and i heard this gem from pierre pettigrew on the radio: "this minority parliament was filled with partisan politics."

well duh! isn't that the idea? i mean, isn't it the point, that since canadians are disaffected (i'd actually say p---ed off, but apparently those east of the lakehead, by and large, aren't) by your government that they voted for other parties. the horror! now the political landscape is festooned with other than liberal (or, according to pmpm, "canadian") ideals. opposing views are being heard! oh no! if i were the lying, thieving, conniving, arrogant jerks, i'd be scared, too. there's a groundswell of anger in this country, and it won't be too long before the dictatorship is overthrown and a real democracy emerges. it might not be in this next election (sadly), but it's coming. canadians can't be mindless sheep for that long.

can they?

laugh of the day for yesterday: a leftie moonbat colleague of mine is retiring soon, and he's talking about moving to salmon arm, bc. he said the place is perfect, but for one thing: "the place is full of right-wing nazi lovers." um, buddy, uh, ....

ah, never mind. it's not worth the breath it would take to correct this guy.
