It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way (K.Marx, Letter to F.Engels on the Indian Mutiny)

Harper on SM
The Harper has a kinky side.
As he showed
when he came out this summer
as a Leather Boy.
"When I'm prime minister I will not whip our cabinet,"Harper said.
Decision to hit same-sex unions fast could pay off for Harper
Tommy Scares Them Still
Long after he has passed on, Tommy scares the bejesus out of the political establishment still. The Ghost of Tommy could literally haunt this election campaign as the NDP focus on the privatization of Health Care and how the Liberals and Tories have no plan to stop it. Yep good old Tommy could swing votes to the NDP if the CBC showed this miniseries. Folks would remember when the Left was the New Idea,and that neo-con was just another way of saying Conservative or same old tired ideas. After all Tommy is our Greatest Canadian.
"The [Liberal] federal government's trouble is that they have a wishbone where they should have a backbone."
Tommy Douglas was the most influential politician never to be elected Prime Minister.

Hey We're Famous
Election bloggers waste no time dishing the dirt
This article sure spends alot of time focusing on how the blogosphere responed to Scott Feschuks blog at Liberal.ca With nary a word about the Conservative blog.....so I guess that tells you which of these two blogs should really be drawn, hung and quartered as the poll over at progressive bloggers asks. And it ain't Feschuks cause he at least is actually writing his blog, the Conservative blog is a rehashed press release prior to editing.Ignatieff Ignites Controversy
Ignatieff endures heckling
Wins nomination
In the foyer outside the meeting, one protester donned a George W. Bush mask and waved a sign saying: "Bush-Ignatieff -- Partners in crime," in protest against Mr. Ignatieff's support for the war in Iraq. Another protester, Irene Oliinyk, complained that Mr. Ignatieff has argued torture was acceptable for detainees in Iraq. "Why would the Liberals parachute someone like that into the riding?" Yep you have to ask yourself that, and I am sure the Liberals are too considering that PM has distanced himself from Ignatieff, but then again what did anyone expect when the new Philosopher King of Empire was touted as the next best thing to replace PM.
Another Harper Gaffe
CBC Poll-It's Health Care Stupid.
- Almost three-quarters of Canadians asked said they don't expect politicians to keep their promises once they're in power.
- 56 per cent expressed little or no confidence at all in federal political leaders.
- 63 per cent said all the federal political parties are pretty much the same when it comes to honesty and integrity - yet 94 per cent said honesty and integrity in government are either somewhat or very important in determining how they plan to vote.
