You Got It (The Right Stuff)

We had a beautiful snowfall in Freddy last night. The kind of snowfall everyone can like, even Normy. Just a couple of inches of nice light big flakes that covers everything in a fresh white blanket. It was quite mild out and while walking on the train bridge, walking home from voting, I found myself thinking that this is exactly the kind of night I love in winter. Very, very peaceful. Then I got home.

Election coverage. Pretty dramatic...and a real sporting atmosphere. The CBC actually had Ron and Don covering the election. Don was a little lost without any foreigners to complain about but still amusing. I'm not sure if I have any complaining to do about it either. I think of it as a big reset. A serious slap on the wrist for the Liberal's glaring abuse of power. But not quite a slap in the face because the Conservatives won't have the power to push an agenda that any one of the opposition parties considers too "right wing". Paul Martin is gone and Spanky McKenna could be on the way to the top of Liberal heap. That will be a good thing, partially because that would be great for NB, but moreso because I will get constant amusement from him trying to speak french. It's painful to watch but you can't hep it; like playing with a hangnail.

If that does happen then the seasoned Mr. Mckenna will have to face a now seasoned Stephen Harper in an election. And this could happen just as quickly as this election did. Personally, Stephen Harper has grown on me....like a fungus. I don't dislike him I just don't feel all that comfortable about him representing us on the world stage. And I am going to go on record right now; Stephen Harper will be a one term Prime Minister if he doesn't get a new hairdo. If his plans for the country are as lame as that nightmare we are all screwed. If Jimmy Johnson can do it so can you Harpo.



In other election news - two of my favourite quotes from election day
1) A very excited, but slightly confused, Jester - "I'm heading to the right; I'm going to exercise my poll"
2)The CBC was interviewing some Foreign students about their thoughts on democracy in action and a yound Asian girl was heard to say - "I rove it; I've got erection fever!"

I'm going to hell.....

Pace out
