Surprise, surprise
Another file in which Furious George is involved. Another file that has devolved into farce, or worse.
Oh, look.

Maybe it’s just my twisted sense of humour, but I found this tweet to be the dumbest (and funniest) I’ve seen since, well, the last stupid tweet (there’s plenty).
My questions:
Politics is all about the effective use of symbols. Ask Jean Chretien or Brian Mulroney, they’ll tell you. Or they’ll show you.
Case study one: Summer 1993. Conservatives have just picked ex-justice minister Kim Campbell to be their leader. Campbell’s brainy, but she also doesn’t take herself too seriously. Earlier, someone circulated a photo in which a coiffed Campbell — bare shouldered — holds her Queen’s Counsel robes in front of her. The photo was republished around the world. One gushing account in Britain’s The Independent carried this headline: “A provocative picture may help Kim Campbell become leader of her country.”
The British paper wasn’t entirely wrong. Soon after her selection as Conservative leader, Campbell became the most popular prime minister in decades.
I can’t find the column anywhere. If anyone else can, please send along a link!
Dunno if she’s going to be successful. But, ladies and gents, we now may well have a solution to the joke that is Mayor Rob Ford.
