Bullet points for a Friday morning.
- It turns out that I’m liberal. Like, really liberal. Shocking, though, as I’d become used to the word “liberal” as a pejorative, thanks to most of the people I know. On the other hand, I absolutely am not a Liberal Party supporter, especially now that Stéphane Dion is leading that motley pack. But who does that leave me to vote for? Certainly never the NDP: I may be liberal, but I’m not a union shill, and I’m not a communist. The Tories are alright, if you like the West, which I mostly do not. The Libertarian party is weak to the point of comic relief. The Green party is a viable candidate, as always, but it’s also weak. As for the Christian parties, the day I vote for a Christian political party will be the day I hand in my membership card in the, you know, Kingdom of God (the one that isn’t organised around political solutions to moral problems, and certainly doesn’t go for an official mix of church and state).
- I had a strange dream last night. Laura had been kidnapped, and I had been given a series of clues to her whereabouts: I remember driving frantically around the city, trying to find her, when the van (yes, the van) I had commandeered was hijacked by a tiny thug wearing a ski mask, holding an Uzi. Normally, I might have drawn some relevant size-related conclusions, but this was, after all, a dream. Turns out that Laura was the one in the ski mask, and it was all a huge joke. Heh. Good one. After that, it got even weirder, but I’ll save that narrative for a more appropriate place (like my extremely porous memory).
- Steve and Jo just had a baby boy. They have named him Isaac, because Sarah laughed at God, and that’s a great thing to memorialise. I agree.
- I’m sick of a society that breeds women to be uptight, moralistic feministas. What ever happened to women being pirate wenches? Who told us men that the woman should be the one controlling the remote (in my vernacular a much better variation on “wearing the pants”)? That’s right: when I want a tankard of ale, I’ll have me a tankard of ale, and she’ll be wearing saucy pantaloons and a corset possibly made out of the bones of my victims. I’m not really sure of that one. But let us men raise the battle cry: bring back the wenches!
- I’m going to spray some Axe in my office. Lisa will soon be over to flog me with a cat-o-nines for giving her a headache.

All political parties in this nation could be ripped apart limb from limb.. but, being a man of business and industry give me conservatives with a bunch of pesky liberals , greens, ndps as a non united minority… That way the conservatives have a conscience for the percieved other sides of the issue.
Or even better, lets just disseminate all political parties and go for absolute monarchy, then it really doesn’t matter who’s up there, because God put them there, and we are all too stupid to run the affairs of the nation.
On a side note, Mr. Dion - Are you aware that your mastery of the English language is crap ?
December 8th, 2006 at 9:22 amIt’s an interesting question. What’s better, one absolutely powerful but totally depraved individual, or thirty-four million limitedly powerful depraved individuals?

December 8th, 2006 at 9:52 amYou know, as much as both present Ups and Downs.. An old fat white man [ HURRAY FOR US BROTHERS ! ]
said many amazing things regarding government..
” A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen. ”
“Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry”
“If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law. ”
“In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.”
“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been tried from time to time.
”
You of course can figure out who he is..
