The leader of the Green coalition in Catalonia, Joan Herrera, said that it would be “very difficult to reach orgasm voting for any of the candidates, myself included.”

The daughter and I were car dancing to this classic on the weekend.  I told her it reminds me of federal politics.  She looked at me funny.

There’s a real cool club on the other side of town
Where the real cool kids go
To sit around
And talk bad about the other kids
Yeah, it’s a real cool club and you’re
Not part of it
There’s Millie, Pickles and Pattycakes too
And Cubby’s making mean jokes about you
“Ha ha ya little twit!”
Yeah, it’s a real cool club and you’re not part of it
They’re a real cool bunch of die
Fledermausketeers
And they’ll laugh at the Toughskins
Your mom got you from Sears
You dork they’ll never let you in
Cause it’s a real cool club and you’re not part of it
You’re fat and ugly and
An imbecile too
And that’s why they draw funny pictures of you
And talk bad about all the kids
Cause it’s a real cool club and you’re not a part of it
Yeah it’s a real cool club and you’ll never be a part of it
Yeah it’s a real cool club and you’ll never be a part of it

Here.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it with this lunacy.  If you feel as I do, Transport Minister Chuck Strahl can be reached at ottawa@chuckstrahl.com and/or riding@chuckstrahl.com.  Bombard him with messages.

The top autocrat at CATSA is Kevin McGarr; the chairman of the board is “D” Ian Glen. No emails, of course – you pay their salaries, but God help you if you want to contact them to complain about something.  In any event, their toll-free number is 1-888-294-2202; their complaint page (for all the good it’ll do) is here. Dial and dial again.

And, if you think people are overreacting, take a look at this video, posted first by GritChik. It shows a young child, age five or six, being partially stripped and searched by the TSA, who are apparently now a source of inspiration for the morons at CATSA.

The Ontario Liberals have asked Twitter to shut down a fake account that claims to be registered to Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak’s three-year-old daughter.

A user purporting to be “Miller Hudak,” began posting on Twitter under the username@Hooodakkkk late Monday.

“Everyone is on Twitter. Including those weird relations you want to avoid. Too late now,” reads the first tweet, which is followed by another one that says “Polkaroo is on Twitter!”

When Premier Dalton McGuinty learned of the prank, he sent a handwritten note “from one father to another” to alert Hudak during question period on Tuesday.

The opposition leader read McGuinty’s missive, delivered by a parliamentary page, then walked across the floor to thank the premier. The two men shook hands and later resumed debating.

They screwed up the David Chen case. They screwed up the Humane Society case. They screwed up that Ponzi scheme case.  They screwed up most of the G20 cases. Now this: a Crown Attorney actually makes faces in court, like a child, and a mistrial is declared. In a murder trial.

Time to clean that place out.

“For starters, Stephen Harper – once the feared Reform Party outsider – is no longer feared so much, if at all. As with all prime ministers, Harper has become pretty familiar to the rest of us.

For a decade, the Liberals kept Harper and his conservative colleagues from power with frightening tales about what the right-wingers would do to social programs, health care and race relations.

But after five years, our social network is mainly what it was; health care is more or less intact; and the party with the most racially diverse caucus in the House of Commons is, well, Harper’s.”

UPDATE: Delacourt weighs in on what I’ve tried to say, and what Martin has said much better than I could.

And if you don’t like our position today, we’ll have a new one next week!

November 22, 2010: “Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff said Monday he is now willing to support a vote in the House of Commons on the federal government’s plan to extend Canada’s mission in Afghanistan beyond 2011.”

November 12, 2010: “Prime Minister Stephen Harper said…at the end of the day, he and his cabinet will make the final call about a new training mission there.  And Liberal Foreign Affairs critic Bob Rae said he has no problem with that.”

UPDATE: And the game is afoot, as they say, thanks to Monsieur Duceppe. Wonder if it’ll be a whipped vote?

When I read the comments section of any website that covers political news, I get the urge to destroy the very Internet that Al Gore invented and that I perfected.

Yes, some of the reader comments are insightful. Some are witty. This is especially the case with Sun readers! But it pains me to note that most of the comments on most websites most of the time are comprised of conspiracy theories, sweeping generalizations, random thoughts and ugly venom. If you struggle with depression, please avoid reading them.
