I've been considering writing to my MP (Prentice, he who is trying to smother DIGITAL PIRATE THIEF SCUM) and asking him to get rid of Harper and tell Tom Flanagan (the U of C prof who is the Canadian equivalent of Paul Wolfowitz) to fuck off. Basically, all the high-ranking Tories MPs have declared that there is universal support for Stephen Harper in caucas. If you go to a restaurant and the food arrives overcooked, the service is fast but rude, and you're not getting value for your dollar, and you keep going back there it doesn't make you a loyal customer; it makes you a dumb consumer. All this endless appealing to the base of the party makes him seem really insecure and needy.
