I'm too embarrassed to read it even.

The best thing is it's another attempt by the Conservatives to appear "hip." I remember years ago when they had Preston Manning, who is basically like your redneck uncle, start wearing sportcoats and turtlenecks to appeal to the coffee shop crowd. Sad, really sad.

4. Problem is the opposition has no real leader
They don't even need a great one. But Ignatieff and Dionne just don't have any charisma.

7. My favourite is people trying to make us feel bad for picking on him
Fuck that, this scumbag cares nothing for regular Canadians. I can't wait til the libs get a decent leader.

6. Too bad he didn't choose Arcade Fire as the backing band.
Then he could have joined in with them on a couple of tunes from their "Neon Bible" album. Now THAT would have been youTube worthy!

(For those not familiar with the band and/or album, google them and check out the lyrics.)

18. Oy. That's worse than the Stockwell Day Seadoo incident
And REALLY bad form trying to sing Lennon.

ANY ONE of those artists would condemn that freak singing their songs.

A U.S. president drops a bomb that will kill. Harper's bombs just maim and provoke nightmares.
