All I know is that Rob Anders and Jason Kenney have pictures of Stephen Harper (who lives in Anders' riding) in a compromising position with a goat and Chinese boy. Otherwise those albatrosses would have been gonzo long ago. Then again, knowing the retards that inhabit Calgary to the west of Crowchild Trail and south of Glenmore Trail, I'm not surprised.

Ah, but that neglects the line he uttered as would-be commissioner: "I've got a closet full of midgets waiting to follow my every command." And let's not forget his run as European Champion. "KOPF."

The NDP has more of the popular vote than the Bloc, but less seats. The Greens have slightly less of the popular vote than the Bloc and have NO seats. The Liberals shot themselves in the foot back in '06 when they passed on both Rae and Ignatieff and chose everyone's second choice. Alberta is on the verge of electing a New Democrat. The Grits seems to be a dead brand here with the NDP and Greens splitting the second choice. It's not strictly worst case scenario for Stephen Harper, but I think he's going to be watching his step. He gained seats, sure, but this was the Conservatives election to lose and they nearly screwed it up. Might be a little tension in Tory-town in the next Parliament.

**yawn** cmon now buddy, nobody's that retarted.

Nah, we're all sitting on the sidelines reminiscing about good TSM fights. This one's just pathetic. Hey, remember the 9/11 thread where Marney had that great quote from "Mr. Belloc Still Objects" and Johnson walked right into it?

Just like the Republicans in the States, the Liberals just seem to play the game better at election time. Really, the Conservatives never recovered from the Reform split and the '93 election, and the 2004 election just nine months after the merger proved they were not ready for prime time. The Grits have had their politicos in place for decades. I'm not exactly saying this is Harper's Waterloo, especially with the Liberals' milquetoast leader and Jack Layton siphoning votes, but the Tories will be in for a rough ride if they only have a handful of MPs on the official opposition party. It might be a mirrored repeat of the '04-05 parliament. And I don't know about where you live, but people here assume the presidential election is a foregone conclusion and are really taking an interest in the potential car-wreck here. Still haven't seen Jim Prentice anywhere. Probably in Ontario still. I'd like for someone here to rise up and smack Rob Anders, but given Calgary's tendency to vote against their own interests, that's not going to happen. Maxine Bernier is probably going to get stomped.

I'm going to point to this thread as the downfall of humanity. You know, I was out for a walk earlier, and I could have swore I saw 6000 years of history collapsing before my eyes and the first thought that came to mind was, "I bet that stupid message board I post on every two or three days has something to do with this."

They act as though it was as bad as forgetting your wallet. "That's a guy's hand, not a sparkler."

Yes, you can donate, but the tax system is set up such that you get about 75% of your donation back. I've never joined any party, since it'll close doors if I go in for government work.

Last night I received a call (automated) from the CPC. Basically a one question survey asking whether I would support the 1) incumbent (Jim Prentice), 2) another party, or 3) was still undecided. Sounds like the Tories are worried about their rear flank. Although I seriously doubt it happening, a non-Tory elected in Alberta combined with the potential for zero net gains in Ontario and Quebec could be a real morale killer.

Kevin Taft never closed no hospitals. So, twelve days to go, and it seems we're still treading water, at least as far as polls go. Some say Harper is in for a squeaker of a majority, but TEH ECONIMIC CRYSIS is all over the place and if someone is able to score a big jab on the issue, they may have the momentum in the home stretch. It's been the most interesting campaign since the KILL THE TORIES election in 1993 (although for the wrong reasons), but the most I see happening is the Grits losing 30 seats: 15 to the NDP, 15 to the Conservatives. The Bloc stays the same. The aftermath is what I'm looking forward to, as I'm pretty sure Dion's lame duck term as leader is done and either Ignatieff or Rae hit the reset button. And I'm sure Harper will be in for some tough questions as to why an election was even needed in the first place. I'm not saying in-party revolt, but he might be doing some damage to the party base.

Precisely. Any one group of people that sees fit to constantly re-elect Bozo the Klein and his ilk have no business telling anyone else how to run their lives.

From the description:

I'm waiting for someone to use "Gordon Freeman has to see these birds yet it's time RRRRRRRRRRRR"

Let's not overlook 1997. Yes, it was complicated and eventually scrapped by Michaels' bullshit and Austin's knee injury. But Bret presumably winning the Rumble only to be tossed by Austin after no one saw him hit the ground could be argued as the point which Bret Hart began his descent into madness, which in turn created the star of Steve Austin during the only match that mattered at WM 13.

Nice. I don't remember: is David Emerson running again? Some polls according to Hill and Knowlton have the Greens coming in second in my riding with about 25% of the vote behind Prentice. I would be glorious if the first Green seat came out of Calgary. They're not doing themselves any favors though, since some of their candidates don't dispel the "one-issue platform" stigma. And this doesn't distinguish them from other parties in terms of how to conduct themselves.

Just me. Assume anything I ever post is strictly to irritate and bewilder. You have to admit it improves the originals substantially.

Those three are FUCKIN METAL.

Okay, forget Alexisonfire. Wesley Willis and The Jesus Lizard are where you want to go. I've actually been impressed with the two Melt Banana songs I've heard.If you can find it, 31Knots is kind of similar as well.

Try Alexisonfire. They're similar in sound.
