On the lighter side

Angry Tom looks truly scary.  Reminds me of Dracula's "glad to see you" expression.

Go beyond the looks. The Young Dauphin was sold on the basis of his hair, and there is no "there" there behind the haircut.

Saw an NDP ad last night with Mulcair. Just creeped me out.

I'd buy a fire guard with his face on it. Good for keeping kids away from danger  ;D

My young nephew is working on a campaign here for the Liberal candidate and JT was in town. Judging by the FB posts I think my nephew has a mancrush on him.

I know a guy who wrote Obama a LOVE POEM after he was elected. And he's not even gay. :facepalm:

Does that make him a LGBTQ Walt?  ;D

Want to have some fun while doing your mentoring/education tasking? Ask detailed questions of "why" he should feel this way, specifically "what" programs, campaign promises etc. are creating thsi feeling and how feasable, cost effective or even proven they are. (Mentioning Ontario or Greece in the same sentance as "Deficits" tends to cause most Liberal supporters to rapidly change the subject and leave the room, another data point to have fun with....)

>> PHILOSOPHICAL DIFFERENCES

>> I asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister of Canada some day
>> Both of her parents, NDP supporters, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?"
>> She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
>> Her parents beamed, and said, "Welcome to the NDP Party!"
>> "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I told her. I continued, "But you don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that. You can come over to my house, mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out. You can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."
>> She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?

>> I smiled and said, "Welcome to the Conservative Party."

>> Her parents still aren't speaking to me.

Now, I don't approve of defacing traffic signs, but ...

My local MP, Paul Dewar, posted this sign he saw somewhere here in Ottawa centre, and I must admit it's "good," in the sense of being clever and well executed:

Not to worry, I think Prime Minister Harper has, already, been pretty well arrêted in French speaking Canada, even out in the bilingual wilds of Ottawa–Orléans.

 

[George Wallace]

I am still trying to find out who this Arrête fellow is, that so many want to stop.


On the point about Orleans; I think it would have been more appropriate to put that on a YIELD sign.  In Orleans they all roll on through STOP signs, but STOP for a YIELD sign (YIELD signs confuse them, I guess.)

I for one am tired of seeing and hearing all the hissy fits from the opressed masses.  We all have our sob stories of how the government is against us or frustrates us or disappoints us in one way or another.  I've about reached my saturation point of tolerence and understanding on the incessant whining and whinging.  Mind you, I suppose Ottawa isn't the best place to escape that with all the Civil Servants here, is it?

If its' really that bad, just stop reading the news and close your social media account (including your milnet account).

Life isn't that bad if you just live it and stop listening to all the whining.

Ah well, my usual hermit cave is booked full already and my martyr's cloth clothing is out for tailoring at the moment.  Life will continue to intrude it would seem.

I think he lives in the town of Aus Farht.

The one nice thing I found with having a Liberal government, is that Ottawa couldn't give a shit about what happened in BC and left us alone to do our job.

Every cloud has its silver lining.

I spent a good part of August on vacation driving out west. I saw a similar in sign -in Calgary of all places(!) and noticed others in Alberta and on Vancouver Island. The lettering on all of them was identical to the one in Mr Campbell's picture.
