Another Liberal Drops out of the Leadership Race (No, Not Tobin)

Another Liberal has now officially dropped out of the leadership race, making people wonder if anyone is going to bother running at all? Last week John Manley announced he won't make a run, then yesterday the percieved front runner, Frank McKenna, dropped out as well. Then today we hear the news that fromer Cabinet Minister and Premier of Newfoundland (and Labrador -Ed.) Brian Tobin has announced that HE will not run as well. As if that wasn't enough now another Liberal has announced he won't be running for the leadership of the Federal Liberal party. This man is a man of vision, a man of principal and courage. This man would have been not only the best leader of the Liberal party ever, but also the greatest Prime Minister ever when the next election was called. Who am I talking about?

Myself.

Yes friends I'm sorry to dissapoint you but I, Robert Simms, will not be running for the Leadership of the Federal Liberal party at this time.

Hehe, well it seemed like everyone else was bowing out. :D

Harper's New Nickname

I saw this post over at Red Tory. Now I'm not trying to start a blogger war here, God knows I have more than my share of enemies in the blogsphere, but here's my suggestion for Harper's new Nickname:

How about "Prime Minister" ?

Hey, I dislike the guy's policies as much as anyone, but I hated it when people called Martin "Dithers" Because I felt it was disrespectful to the office he held. If you don't like the person holding the office, fine but lets show some class that our Conservative Friends didn't, otherwise we're no better than them.

Prime Minister Harper Suffers Asthma Attack

Story

As much as I dislike the man's policies I know what it's like to have breathing problems, although I don't have asthma I have had dust related breathing attacks before, and I know what it's like to not know if your going to be able to breathe again. For anyone that hasn't experienced it the only way I can describe it is Truly Terrifying. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. From what the article said he's ok now, and I hope he stays that way. Asthma is a horrbile disorder.

I Can't Decide What to Call This Article

I've got two choices:
Conservative Misinformation Campaign Already Afoot

-or-

Conservatives Already Employing "Fuzzy Math"

So I'll post both and you decide, please remember both articles are "tounge in cheek"

Conservative Misinformation Campaign Already Afoot

Ok, so maybe it isn't dictatorship style propaganda, but the Ottawa Sun has already started their post far right victory parade with a little fact fudging, I suspect just to test the waters before the real blitz begins. If you'll notice the picture at the bottom of this post (click to enlarge) They have referred to Harper as the "26th" Prime Minister when, in fact he is the 22nd. This is no doubt a thinly veiled attempt to make Harper look like a better leader by increaing his rank. Everyone knows bigger is percieved to be better.

Conservatives Already Employing "Fuzzy Math"

It seems that Conservatives are already well on their way to destroying the country's finances, cultivated so much by the outgoing Liberal Government. I have discovered however that it may not be that they don't care about the economy, but just that they don't bother to study numbers before they do work with them.

I've noticed in an article by the ultra far right Ottawa Sun (see picture below, click to enlarge) they refer to Harper as the "26th" Prime Minister, when in fact he is the 22nd. Place that same 26 somewhere in the budget instead of a 22 and we could go from a four billion dollar surplus to a four billion dollar deficit just like that. Be afraid my fiscally sound friends, be very afraid.

Liberal For Life Adds a "Tip Line"

You may notice I've added a "Tip Line" on the left side of my blog, if you have a tip you'd like to share about the Harper Regime: something stupid they said, something they've done wrong, please share it.

Please note I may not use all tips, but all are greatly appreciated.
