First, as a journalist how could I not love our Prime Minister’s folly, bombast and high drama?
He took a gun into the House of Commons, fired several shots at the three parties in opposition and then one into his foot.

Now he’s crying foul, foul, foul.
And Harper now says the opposition parties' desire to work as a coalition government is “a betrayal of the the voters of this country, a betrayal of the best interests of our economy, a betrayal of the best interests of our country..."
Such a laugh. There’s more.
Second, I’ve been kept informed, up to the second, by CBC Radio, a publicly funded station the PM would like to bury in the deepest outdoor toilet in Canada.
You know, the one in which Harper is now standing.
Ahhh, such a gift.

Unfortunately, Harper’s gift may mean we see nothing happen on behalf of Canadians for another 6 weeks.
Why do we pay him?

Someone mentioned yesterday on one of my posts that "something delicious was happening in Canadian politics". Should I assume this was the something to which she referred?
And clearly Bonanza Boy didn't realize where he'd landed. Had to laugh.
hi mojo,
our prime minister has not been acting very prime ministerly, and has asked to suspend the most recent session so he can go home, lick his wounds (he shot himself in the foot), put balm on his neck burns and come back in a more cooperative fashion.
It's unlikely he will ever be able to work with other parties so his death march will continue late January.
stay tuned,
gord
