Shut Up & Write

You love it. You loathe it.
Either way, you can't help yourself. You are one of us.
(You are also a masochist. But that's OK.)

Struggling (and more often fighting) writer by trade, and office monkey when I need to pay my bills. It's an enviable life.
I know, you're probably a little jealous now.
It's perfectly understandable.

Tory McCrapness

Today the news media are gleefully pointing out that the Conservative party has a massive lead in the polls and that creepy-eyed Stephen Harper could possibly get a majority.

I've said it before, I'll say it again -- I would rather deal with slightly-shady Liberals than face another Conservative government. I'm furious at Martin and the Liberals for putting the country in the place... and at Jack Layton, too, for supporting and co-instigating the vote of non-confidence.

Hello, reduced GST tax and tax cuts for high-income individuals and corporations. So long government programs, health care, school funding and gay marriage. Et bonjour to support for the new U.S. regime.

And all I can hear is my mothers voice saying, "Wow, someone has really been putting some hard work into Harper's image." I liked him better before -- when his true colours weren't as well hidden and polished.

Looks like north Americans will need to find a new country to flee to whilst our respective countries are managed by Conservative/Republican white boys.

Suggestions? (Preferably somewhere warm, s'il vous plait. Et merci.)
