Because everything the Harperites do is planned down to the last word or the last fern in the background. I'm sure Harper practiced that ATV run somewhere, either by borrowing his wife's Harley, or mowing the lawn at 24 Sussex at three-o-clock in the morning. Never in the history of this country has a Prime Minister spent so much time and money staging one photo-op after the other. It's all fake, it's all plastic, and luckily for us it seems to be getting him NOWHERE... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-81883364613158367832010-08-28T01:56:26.364-04:002010-08-28T01:56:26.364-04:00hi Beijing...yes doesn't it.

He took off in a car I believe, and had the Mounties chasing after him. So dashing of him, and what a man!! Looks to me like Harper followed suit - he probably studies these people carefully. <br /><br />I'm also sure that he staged a JFK PT-109 type photo of himself in a boat, last year or thereabouts. Same hairdo, although he couldn't quite cut the same pose. Remember the fuss about him not wearing a lifejacket?<br />Young, stylish wife, etc. Like Jackie. I have heard religious adherents of his talk about how it's a "young family" being "attacked by the evil Liberals"; and it sounds like a Biblical narrative; and also sounds like JFK's young, attacked family. <br /><br />All this stuff is so carefully staged. It's not so much that he's paranoid about his appearance, it's that each photo, each piece of info about him has to conform to a hero-figure. That's how he wants to be perceived, because that's the audience he's playing to. "All the world's a stage . . "<br /><br />And then there's John Wayne. Leather vest; American values, the Lord's Prayer, etc. Hair style. Large nose. Alberta. <br /><br />The announcement in front of the whale tank recently in Vancouver. "I'm in the belly of the whale"; which is Biblical, (Jonah) and a euphemism for really working hard through difficulties. Gone all summer. <br /><br />Harper's always playing to an audience, always staging things, always calculating. The guy should've just gone for acting. There are enough movie companies around Alberta; he could've done it. <br /><br />Anyone calling him "Duke" yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-66063363227500787042010-08-27T00:51:52.405-04:002010-08-27T00:51:52.405-04:00I love that FU song.

If Harper creates his own reality, as they tell us one's mind can do, we're living in his reality, and it seems we're powerless to prevent it. <br /><br />What we need are some expert FBI-type profilers, because I think he's nuts. <br /><br />That "Fuck you" scene is a take-off from HAIR, movie made in 1979; I wonder where that spirit went?<br /><br />And - would someone please re-do the "I Am Canadian" rant??? I like statistic, information, I like civility, I like lattes, I like higher education -- that sort of thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
