Joe the Plumber: The Final Chapter

Ever wonder what Joe the Plumber is going to do next, now that his Republican sponsors have gone down the drain?

And he still doesn't have a license, and he's got all those unpaid taxes to worry about.

Well now you know.

“You know, fame is fleeting, leaves you hungry, leaves you cold, leaves you tired. Fortune never comes with it...”

He's got a book deal. And a brand new .....um....website

Where for only $14.95 you can get a copy of his book (when he or somebody else writes it.) PLUS a Freedom Membership AND free shipping on all Joe the Plumber merchandise.(When somebody makes it)

Uh oh. I have a feeling that next month you can have it ALL for $4.95. And that shortly after that the website will be available to ANYONE to sell ANYTHING.

But don't forget he's still got plans to record a country album...and record a hit song.

Like "Your cheatin' ACORN." As soon as somebody writes the song...and he can memorize the words.

And I bet the B-Movie about him is going to be good too....



OK OK so maybe not.

But hey Joe..... you Republican TOOL.... before you leave us do us all a favour.

Don't forget to flush the crapper. Eh?

NEXT...

A Night of Hope and Disappointment

So it really happened. He did it. History has been made.

America has a black president. The black people of that country have finally ARRIVED.

And young people played a big part, by turning out in record numbers, and voting overwhelmingly for Obama.

Hope won out over fear...and the Republicans were crushed .

If I was any happier I think I could FLY.

Except that I am also disappointed. Because Proposition 8 ....that would ban gay marriage in California....is heading for victory.

Largely because black people turned out in record numbers and voted overwhelmingly FOR it.

African-Americans voted for Proposition 8 by a 69 percent to 31 percent margin. However, 55 percent of white voters and 52 percent of Hispanics voted against the proposition.

Isn't that ironic? On a night when we are celebrating equality, the people most affected voted to take equality away from others. Thanks to crazy religion. And Mormon money.

But more about that later. Not tonight.

Tonight is a night to focus on hope rather than disappointment.

Tonight is the night to CELEBRATE.



Hmmm.....I guess after what happened tonight black people can say we DID it.

Young people can say we COULD. Or we showed you.

And gay people get to say yes we can.

Yes we WILL...

Obama's Blow and the Birth of Hope

What a cruel blow.

I only she could have lived one more day to see the boy she taught to dream become President of the United States.

The only consolation is that after the great sadness will come the joy of victory. And the rebirth of hope.

I ran this video a few month ago.

But now that it really is the day before the election.

I thought I'd run it again.


Barack for your beloved granny who believed in you.

And all the others who still do. The ones who knocked on a MILLION doors in Pennsylvania yesterday. Who are sad tonight but thanks to you full of hope for a better future.

Yes you can.

Yes you WILL....

Obama, The Boss, and The Rising

Forty eight hours to go, and although I'm not an American, I'm a nervous wreck. I can't help feeling that something could still go wrong.

And I'm not the only one.

“I am so afraid some ghastly trick will be played again and we’ll wake up on Wednesday morning and we’ll be where we were in the last two elections."

“My doctor says she is treating lots of Democrats for anxiety and depression, because of their obsession with this election and their fears that Obama will lose.”

The stakes are so enormous. The hope for change so great. I can't imagine what could happen if that hope was stolen, or SHATTERED by racism or ignorance.

But then I read that The Boss had been warming up a crowd of 80,000 at an Obama rally in the rain today.

“I don't know about you, but I want my country back, I want my dream back, I want my America back!"

And my spirits SOARED.

Because I want our neighbours to get their country back too. Just about everything about it these days horrifies me. But my grandfather who fought with them in the Second World War taught me to love Americans. And I believe that if that country chooses change it can still be a force for good.

And also because The Boss reminded me that this is MORE than just an election. It's a tidal wave of hope. Or a RISING.

Like the name of song he sang today.

You know this one...



Hey it's not my favourite Springsteen song.

But YEAH.

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

La la lala la la la la...

Forty-eight hours to go.

It's the Rising Time. The nightmare is almost over.

Hope is EVERYTHING....

The Palin Prank and the Grateful World

I knew this Palin prank was going to be devastating. But I could never have imagined how humungous it was going to be.

It's gone global. It's exploding on the inter tubes. It's the story EVERYONE is talking and laughing about.

For many Americans it's the last straw.

This does it. This is the last straw. If there were still a scintilla of a possibility that Sarah Palin is qualified to be Vice-President or, should the need arise, President of the United States, it’s now vanished.

Others have been comparing its impact to the Kathy Couric interview.

Sarah Palin got punked by the Canadian comedy duo known as the Les Justiciers Masques (the Masked Avengers) and, given the way the McCain campaign has controlled access to Palin, the prank feels like just plain good journalism -- almost as good as the real thing delivered by Katie Couric last month.

And then there are the comments:

Canada, this was PRICELESS...thank you....God bless you all !!! Let the real vetting continue.

I love Canada.

I welcome our new Canadian overlords.

OMG. We haven't been recognized like that FOREVER. What an unexpected boost to our low self esteem. I can't quite believe it. Despite having voted in a third-rate neocon government at a time of economic crisis, the whole grateful world thinks we're BRILLIANT !!!

So let's not blow it now. Eh?

They MUST not know we are not worthy. I'm counting on you English Canada....especially you Alberta.

When they call up to congratulate us, and start asking embarrassing questions.

Tell them we're ALL Québécois....

The Palin Prank and the Christianist Invasion

As the Republicans gather in the Last Chance Saloon. And wonder what to order. A hard cheese sandwich. A stale mooseburger. Or a coffee with extra cyanide.

And Sarah Palin gets what's left of her foreign policy served to her on a baguette.

Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.

The Christianist hordes Evita Palin unleashed, are descending on San Diego to try to influence the election and ban gay marriage..... by praying and FASTING.

Golly. Can you imagine FASTING? In Amerika? That's practically heresy. And how come nobody told Jerry Falwell? When he hit the ground for the last time it registered about six on the Richter scale.

I mean Jesus in a Cheeseburger can The Abyss be far off ? Can you have a good Rapture when you're HUNGRY?

Or is it just fascism?


Hmmm....if that's not fascism it's dangerous INSANITY.

But don't worry the gay people of California and their straight friends are fighting back with ads like this one.


OK OK so it doesn't have the budget of The Call to Deliver the Homosexual. And it isn't particularly original.

But talk about the difference between darkness and light.

The Christianist hatemongers are right to call it a war.

Except that they are the darkness.

And we are the LIGHT....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. What is it with these Quebecers? First they save us from a Harper majority, now they put the final nail in Palin's coffin.

Who do they think they are? The Hammer of the Cons? Why are we always saying thank you?

Merci. Merci. Merci....

Because it's Halloween Night....

And I'm too busy to blog because I'm still working on my costume. Thank you Devin.

And because the American election has been so SCARY.

And because I've been waiting to run this video ever since I saw them perform on CNN.

Here are the kids from the Ron Clark Academy to put it all into perspective.



Aren't they GREAT?

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Yup. Democracy can be scary.

But it's still the BEST thing we got....

Obama, the Cyclist, and the Guy Who Didn't Vote

With the result of the American election now depending on the turnout.

If voters are the same mix as usual, this vote could be a nail-biter (the poll has a margin of error of +/- 2, meaning a three point gap could be a dead heat, or even a slight McCain lead).

If however, an increased proportion of young and African-American voters head to the polls, as the Obama camp predicts they will, the race could be similar to President Bush - John Kerry in 2004, heavy turnout, lots of votes going both ways, but really never much chance for an upset.

The Obama campaign is reminding voters not to get as cocky as this guy on a bicycle.



And then there is this warning about what could happen to the one who didn't vote...and cost Obama the election....



But something tells me they don't have to worry.

Across the more than 30 states that allow no-excuse absentee or early voting, votes have been pouring in at a record pace, and the data show Barack Obama as the clear beneficiary.

In the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll, 59 percent of those who said they had already voted backed Obama, and 40 percent indicated that they supported John McCain. So far, the numbers are a near-mirror image of the past two elections.

The wooden stake is sharp and ready. The Republican beast could be DEAD by next Wednesday.

As a Canadian all I can do is watch and cheer. And wait for our day of reckoning to arrive.

First they bury McCain. Woohoo !!!!

And then we bury Harper....

The Obama Plot, the Skinheads, and the Blogging Tories

Howdy Doody. As if it wasn't scary enough that two skinheads thought they could dress up in white tuxedos and top hats, climb into a klown car, and take out Obama.

After killing eighty-eight other black people FIRST.

A plot so devilishly ingenious even the other rednecks in their rube town....which makes Appalachia look like Paris... are shocked. But not surprised.

Riddell said she tried to offer Paul Schlesselman a pet lizard she couldn't care for, but was warned by his family that "he would hurt it."

Now to add ignorance to injury, the Blogging Junker takes time out from denying the existence of global warming....and goes in search of Obama's inner Marxist.

Golly. That was ....um.....DISTURBING. Now I'm confused. Is paranoia a higher state of consciousness or a serious mental illness?

But wait ....to make matters even WORSE Small Dead Chihuahuas picks up his paranoid post and runs with it too. Woof Woof.

Which leads me to wonder is Dr Roy REALLY the dumbest Blogging Tory?

Wouldn't it be better if they ALL spent less time looking for Obama's inner Marxist...and more time digging through their lizard brains looking for their inner IDIOTS?

And if they are so stoopid will even this simple cartoon help them to understand why McCain is going to LOOSE?



*Sigh*

Probably not. You see it's not just paranoia or crazy stupid....it's DESPERATION written large. Like a skinhead tattoo on their neanderthal foreheads.

Or this redneck father and son act...













Which of course is EXCELLENT.

Wooohoo!!! Put on your top hats everyone!!! In seven days we get to PARTY while the pathetic RepubliCons cry their hearts out. Woof. Woof. WAAAAAAAH !!!!

OMG. That's going to hurt soooooooo MUCH.

Isn't that a LOVELY thought?

Muahahahaha...

------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. You know sometimes when I read the Blogging Tories I can't help but feel like that poor family who ordered ice cream but got this instead.

"My friend thought I was over-reacting, but when she smelt it, she started screaming 'Oh my god, they've served us s***'."

Exactly....

Is Sarah Palin Running a Rogue Campaign?

Well I see that Sarah Palin has decided the time has come to cut her ties to John McCain's sinking campaign...and save herself.

As the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign enters its final week, reports are bubbling up about internal strife within the Republican ticket that suggest vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is trying to distance herself from the top of the ticket, John McCain.

“She’s lost confidence in most of the people on the plane,” said a senior Republican who speaks to Palin, referring to her campaign jet. He said Palin had begun to “go rogue” in some of her public pronouncements and decisions.

Even though poor old Poppy is still trying to defend his choice as a "cold political calculation" to counter those nasty liberal feminists.



Which to me means that McCain is either crazy or senile. Or a nasty old misogynist. Or just a LIAR.

And that Sarah Palin obviously feels she has a bright future in the Republican Party. Just like this guy thinks she does..

Palin is clearly OF the conservative base in a real and meaningful way; they view her as their first real spokesperson on the national stage in recent memory -- perhaps since Ronald Reagan. It's hard to imagine those feelings going away because she has not worn well with either moderate and independent minded voters of the conservative media.

Which might seem to be a SCARY thing. I saw a picture of a redneck the other day wearing a t-shirt with this on it: "Nigger, please. It's the White House." And there are millions of them out there.

On the other hand it could be the BEST thing that ever happened. Because if Sarah Palin becomes the Evita of the rednecks and the Christianist hordes she will split the Republicans, drive moderates out of the party, and keep them out of power for a GENERATION.

She'll be John McCain's little FrankenSarah who not only destroyed his campaign. She ATE the Republican Party. Gobble. Gobble.

And to think that I once wondered whether she was the Anti-Christ.

Don't you LOVE happy endings?

Muahahahaha....

------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. Unless of course John McCain wins the election. In which case she's fucked.

And we're DOOMED...

The Homeless Woman and Mount Royal

The good news is that now that it's cold they've drained the pond, and soon we'll be skating on it.

The bad news is the cold has already killed a poor person.

"People say they recognize her, but they don't really know her," he said. "People say 'yeah, yeah, we know who she is, but we don't know who she is.'."

"If it is from exposure, it's a sad death," he said. "As wealthy as we are as a society, for somebody to die from exposure, it's sad."

Yup it is. WORSE than sad.

But then EVERYTHING is so depressing in Canada these days. Everybody is disappointed. Either gnashing their teeth or licking their wounds or pretending the election didn't happen.

In the U.S. the progressive forces are getting ready to PARTY. But in Canada all we can look forward to is a brutal recession, Stephen Harper, winter, and of course having to lug around a suitcase full of Canadian pesos.

To pay for our Caribbean vacations....IF we can afford them.

Which means that I NEED to take a break right now and recharge my batteries.

So I'm taking off for Montreal...and The Mountain.














I need to spend some time on Mount Royal before all the red and golden leaves fall from the trees, kiss the ground like Jacques Cartier did when he planted his cross...about four HUNDRED years ago.

And thank the Great French Nation for saving us from the horror of a Stephen Harper majority.

And of course PARTY until I drop...or can't remember that the election ever happened. Duh? Wot?

Oh yeah.... since Sébastien will be walking through the woods with me, we'll also be looking for two names carved on a tree.

When I was a teenager wandering Mount RoyaI under a fulI moon, I used to dream that politics could change the world.

I wonder if somebody loved that poor homeless woman and misses her terribly?

I hope so.

Did I tell you I Iove the Great French Nation? The one so many English Canadians hate so much.

You know..... the FROGS.

Who saved Canada...



How many ways can you write je t'aime?

And PARTY !!!!!!!

See you all soon....

Palin,The Terminator, and the Christianists

Well I suppose it had to come to this.The Republicans are so DESPERATE they had to call in The Terminator to say something nice about Sarah Palin.

Because she's KILLING THEM

It may yet turn out differently, but at this stage in the campaign for the White House it appears that if John McCain loses in November the turning point will not be the financial crisis hitting in late September but his choice of Sarah Palin as his veep in late August.

Two new national polls show that voters cite that choice as the main reason they have turned from McCain.

But all Arnold could bring himself to say was that Palin is a "quick learner".....and she'll be ready "some day."

Which means I suppose that John McCain is just about TOAST. Unless God can convince a lot of Americans to vote for him.

Like this Christianist..



Hmmm...I'd love to call that lady up and tell her that Sarah Palin is the Anti-Christ. And the reason I KNOW that is because Jesus told me PERSONALLY.

Hallelujah!!!!

But before you laugh...just remember it's Amerika.

There are MILLIONS of them. And in country full of frightened, angry people...where God gets to vote.

ANYTHING could happen.

So I'd just like to address the youth of America tonight, from the relative safety of my reinforced igloo, and tell them that in 13 days they will face a TERRIBLE choice.

Between The Messiah and the Anti-Christ.

Or to put it in even starker terms......this song:



And this one:



And I think you know which song we Canadians prefer.

So for fuck sake make sure you register and VOTE. Eh?

Thanks....

John McCain, the Feminists, and the Stolen Election

Uh oh. Batman. Batman. I think John McCain has flipped his lid. After calling our friend Obama a terrorist and a shady crook now he's back to calling him a dangerous LIBERAL. Golly. And blaming the media and the feminist left !!!!!

"My friends, it's remarkable the comments of the feminist left about Sarah Palin," he said to a chorus of boos. "I want to tell you, I am so proud of the way she has energized America. She is a reformer, she is a great leader, she is the most popular governor in America, and I can hardly wait to introduce her to Washington, D.C."

Holy snowmobile Batman @#$%@ that McCain guy is starting to remind me of some evil genius. I just can't put my gloved finger on it.

Robin Robin. Who else could be so brilliant....and yet so INSANE? But that dastardly tophatted villain....

The PENGUIN.



Gosh Batman not the monocled MANIAC? Holy Mr Peanut what do you think he's going to do next ?

Robin Robin lay off the Bat Pot please. What do you THINK he's going to do now with only two weeks to go? Except try to STEAL the election.

The US presidential election will not be free and fair, because millions of electors will either not be allowed to vote or will not have their votes properly counted. It could cost Barack Obama the White House, even if he wins most of the votes on November 4.... in some states for every new voter registered in the last couple of months, two voters have been removed – negating Obama's massive voter registration drive.

#$%@&# Holy smokes Batman that's SCARY. I hate Amerika. But you're SOOOOO BRILLIANT

Yes Robin I am. Now go gas up the Batmobile at the cheap place around the corner.

Because we've got WORK to do....

Dion and the Politics of Personal Destruction

Well I see Stephane Dion has decided to quit, but it's going to be a long goodbye.

Just like I told you it would be last night.

Oh sure he didn't say how angry he is and how he can't wait to go after Stephen Harper. But don't worry just watch him... it's going to be FUN. And if he can cause a little trouble for some people in his party...and influence the course of events in the leadership race...well who can blame him. Eh?

But of course I'm not interested in the pattycake of politics. Yawn. I just want to see Stephen Harper crushed and DEFEATED.

And one thing Dion said today hit me like a blow torch in the face.

"Canadians did not know this Stephane Dion. They knew another one ... they believed that (the other) character was real," he said, referring to the Conservative attacks.

"I want to see that the next leader is not as vulnerable to the low propaganda that was directed against me."

Because it's the kind of truth that BURNS.

Before you send your troops over the side you first need an artillery barrage to chop the enemy into little pieces. Or DEFINE them. Harper did that to Dion, but we didn't do that to Harper. That's why he won.

That's why we are going to have to make sure that doesn't happen next time. If Great Ugly Leader is so enamoured with the politics of personal destruction I say we give him some.

I know it isn't easy to crawl through the gutter, but at some point you have to give the bullies a taste of their own medicine.

Now I did try to do a bit of that during this election by portraying Harper as a monster...




















But unfortunately that only seems to work in Quebec. If you tell people in that province that Harper wants to send juvenile offenders to jail so they can be raped they say Tabarnac...what a COCHON.

If you say the same thing in English Canada too many say Oh goody goody. Or so WHAT?

So if our campaign of personal destruction is going to succeed I'm afraid we're going to have to go a step further. We're going to have to strip the nerdy wonk of his faux manhood and turn him from a so-called "strong leader" into a wimp. Because we seem to HATE wimps. Look what happened to poor Joe Clark.

We seem to like our leaders big tough and rough. Or in Stephen Harper's case... fat, ugly, and mean.So all we've got to do is turn him into a caricature of something fat, ugly, and WEAK.

Or small like a stooge chihuahua.

Like he's going to feel when he meets President Obama, and tries to explain why him and his Canadian RepubliCons tried to SABOTAGE his campaign.














OK OK I'm sure you can do better.

But the idea is to make people LAUGH at Harper and mock him like he did Dion. The way I see it you can get mad or you can be sad or you can get EVEN.

They destroyed the career of a good and decent man with their attack ads.

Now it's OUR turn....

-----------------------------------

P.S. Portraying Harper as an Alberta-First fanatic and a stooge of Big Oil who is SCREWING US at the pumps in the middle of a painful recession isn't bad either.

That one should work in Quebec AND English Canada. Except of course in redneck trueblue Alberta.

But who CARES?

Stephane Dion's Last Stand

I see that CTV is reporting that John McCallum will be interim leader if Stephane Dion steps down tomorrow.

But I wouldn't be surprised if McCallum, and his allies in the Ignatieff camp, were really disappointed.

Because I think Dion is going to announce that he will resign, but intends to continue as Liberal leader until the convention in May.

And that he intends during that time to be a REAL leader not a figurehead ....and lead the charge against Stephen Harper and his economic policies.

I say that because I know Dion is such a proud man I can't imagine him consenting to the humiliation of being dismissed like a servant.

And because he's ANGRY.

Angry because of the way he was ambushed by Mike Duffy and his friends.

Angry at the way Stephen Harper used that tape to destroy the momentum of his campaign during the last crucial days.

I think he finally realized what the Cons did to him and he wants REVENGE.

Which if things work out as I think they will. And with six months in politics being an eternity. And a budget due in February in the cold winter of an economic crisis. And an angry Dion who has nothing to lose.

Means that ANYTHING could happen.

Stay tuned this one is not going to be over until the thin man sings.

Something tells me he's not ready. Stephen Harper is going to feel his pain.

And it's going to be a long goodbye....

Strategic Voting and the Left Wing Fools

Now that the evenings are cooler and the boats will soon be out of the water. And I've run out of positive things to say about the election to try to cheer us up. Here are a few final thoughts.

As you probably know I supported the idea of strategic voting, to compensate for the divided state of the centre-left. And try to stop the Cons from slithering up the middle like a contingent of slimy eels.

So how did that work out? Er......um......not so good.

And not just there but in quite a few other ridings too.

Now I can't be as angry as Canadian Cynic, because some of my best friends...actually ALL of them... are left-wing fools who would rather EAT their ballots than vote for another party. And I don't blame the Dippers for getting the distinct impression that when the Natural, Governing , Liberal Party said vote strategically they meant vote for THEM.

But that doesn't mean I'm not very disappointed. According to La Presse, the vote split cost the progressive side about twenty seats...which just happens to be the same number of seats the Cons gained.

But I have no regrets. I thought the movement for strategic voting was a brave attempt to make up for our divisions. And I want to thank all those who threw their hearts and souls into this non-partisan effort to save Canada from a Stephen Harper majority. The ones who put up websites like this one and this one ....and all the others. You were AWESOME. And at least we tried.

I also hope that one day it will be seen as the first faltering steps towards a united centre-left party that will crush the Cons and drive them from power FOREVER.

Which reminds me....since Great Strategic Genius Humble Pie Leader is still beating his head against a wall because he didn't get his majority. Or wiping his ass AND his smelly armpits with the Quebec flag.

And I love all my progressive brothers and sisters ....even when they're wrong. Because I know their hearts are in the right place.

And it's Saturday night and the left-wing fools are banging on my door. And I have to decide whether to give them shit. Or go DANCE with them.

What the heck eh?



Oh why oh why do we make it so hard for ourselves?

Have a great weekend everyone !!!!

The Lynching of Stephane Dion

As a Quebecer I've never been a big fan of Stephane Dion. He has a tendency to talk down to his own people. And like most Québécois I could never forgive him for brandishing partition like a weapon in the aftermath of the referendum.

When half the province was bitterly disappointed, and the other half who were also in many cases their relatives and their friends, just wanted to move on. And heal the wounds. Instead of having someone rub salt into them.

And as a Canadian I never thought much of his political skills either. He's not just a lousy politician who can't really connect with ordinary people, he also thinks he's ALWAYS right. As someone said the other day Stephane can never just win most of an argument. He has to win it a hundred percent. Even when he's barking up the wrong tree.

But having said that, I must admit that I'm disappointed and disgusted at the way he is being forced to leave.

Because he's a smart, thoroughly decent , kind, gentle man and a good Canadian. And I hate the way he's been mocked and bullied. And how quickly the knives have come out for him.














And who are these whispering conspirators and anonymous sources? Never mind the scummy Joe Volpe. But Frank McKenna and John Manley? Is this the Con Lib Party or what? And do any of the wouldbe successors think they can connect with Canadians better than Dion could? Give me a break.

But what really bothers me is the notion that the Liberal Party should move to the right if it's ever going to be successful again. When as far as I can see the Liberal Party has been moving to the right for years. And going nowhere.

As a number of Liberal bloggers have pointed out the woes of the Liberal Party can't just be solved by knifing Dion in the back and burying him. The party needs to break the stranglehold of the Bay Street Boys in the backrooms. It needs to build up its grassroots, and connect with ordinary Canadians.

It has to come up with a vision and the big programs that can excite and unite Canadians..like it once did. And above all it needs to remain a centre-left party, because most Canadians are centre-left. And they embrace the power of government to make lives better for ALL of us. They don't reject it like the Bush Cons do.

So when I see Dion resign on Monday, as he is expected to do, I wouldn't be surprised if I get a bit choked up. I'm not ashamed to admit I have grown rather fond of the wonky professor. Because decency and idealism still have a place in Canadian politics as far as I'm concerned. And although he isn't a political animal, and never really understood the ugly game of modern politics, I know he tried his best. His very very best.

He COULD have been a great Prime Minister. He deserved to be treated better by Canadians AND his party.

And I HATE to see the bullies win...

The Saga of Joe the Plumber

The way the American election campaign has been going down the toilet, it seems to me somehow fitting that the anti-hero of the moment should be Joe the Plumber.

Especially since he isn't even a real plumber.

Doesn't make more than $250,000 a year. And hates taxes so much...like John McCain.... he doesn't bother to PAY them.

But that's America eh? Always looking for a star. And Fake Joe is a sensation. The networks are camped out outside his home. His neighbours are selling home made t-shirts with his mug on them. And Conservative bloggers are going ape shit.

Conservative blogger Fausta Wertz declared, "Joe probably has a great deal more knowledge and experience in real-life business and economics than most pundits ... possibly more than Ben [Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve]."

Like the moron monkeys they are.

And of course, on the internet, he is even BIGGER...


You know I think it all makes sense. Now that the kybo is collapsing. The toilet bowl is overflowing. And that loud flushing sound is the American economy going down the drain.

Who needs a President eh?

When you can have a PLUMBER...

The Election and the Midnight Hour

I don't know. Maybe it was the full moon. Or the booze. Or the paint thinner.

But by the time the election ended last night I was feeling rather cheerful.

One...because despite the best efforts of the divided left to take the bullet...gimme gimme no no Me Me !!!! ...we actually DODGED it. Whew !!

And two because I know that as bad as I feel about another minority government, Stephen Harper feels even WORSE. If he wasn't howling at the moon last night, he was probably in his bunker rolling around on the floor biting the carpet. Or shitting on the Quebec flag.

Or just screaming.

Because for Stephen Harper having a minority instead of a majority is like humping an inflatable doll instead of the real thing. He wanted to screw Canada and our values beyond recognition. And now he CAN'T.















And the BEST thing is that he knows it's all HIS fault. He was so close to majority he could lick it. He'll NEVER get a better chance. But HE blew it. So much for Not So Great Leader. Or can we just call him Great Strategic Dumbo?

Muahahahaha.

As for everything else....what can you say about an election where English Canadians have to thank the Quebec separatists for saving Canada and its values? Er....um...merci?

Or one where Jack Layton after telling us he was running for Prime Minister ends up declaring a moral victory in a club not far from where I live called ....The Guvernment. Tricky eh?

Or one that ended with Stephane Dion poking his head out of the smouldering ruins of his disastrous campaign, telling us that he's honoured to stick around as The Opposition Leader .....apparently FOREVER.

When everyone knows that his grateful party is planning to send him to one of his favourite places.

Paris....




















Which leaves me wondering where can I get my money back for this rotten show?

And aren't we LUCKY? And did the divided centre-left learn something from this close encounter with The Abyss.... or the Midnight Hour?

Because if it didn't.

The next time will be WORSE...

----------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. After this sorry episode any English Canadians who say anything bad about the Great Quebec Nation should be sentenced to six months in Ste Tite.

That'll teach 'em ....

Stop the Con Wolf ....Vote Strategically

Poor Stephen Harper I hear he's a real mess today. First the Con wolf couldn't sleep a wink, because he was up all night howling at the full moon.

And then this morning when the stock market surged he thought that might help his chances of a majority....and started DROOLING so much they had to call a fire truck to pump him out.

But that's OK. If we vote smart and STRATEGICALLY today, tomorrow we can call a garbage truck to haul him away.

And that would be EXCELLENT.

Not just because our beautiful, peaceful, tolerant country deserves better.

But also because my dog needs a new bed...





















He'd vote for Canada if he could.

So make sure you and your friends do too.

Vote smart. Vote STRATEGICALLY.

Down with nasty Con wolf !!!

Long live our beautiful country !!!!
