......again?

Well well well.....it seems as if the gods of peace, order and good government have seen fit to throw us another election, just a few short years (no matter how long Harper's reign makes them feel) after the last one. Already, a walk around my neighbourhood brings temporary blindness caused by an overwhelming amount of orange signs. (Who knew I lived in Jack Layton's riding?!)

This time around though, it wasn't just the budget. It was contempt. A groundbreaking motion, however quickly forgotten in the deafening thunder of campaign buses and planes taking off. So today, and for the next 30 days, we will hear nothing but slander and pander, berating and debating.

Don't get me wrong...I will become one with CBC Radio 1, I will watch the debates, and I will secretly hope for some rep to knock on my door, so I can, politely, inquire about my wonderings. But is this really the answer?

Isn't the major issue on the table the gross overspending of taxpayers dollars and the intended shunning of new spending so as to put us back on the road to economic recovery?
Then call me crazy, but wouldn't the fastest track to economic stability be to not spend $300 million on an election?

Just a thought.
Vote for me for PM. *shudder* Never mind.......not if it means performing sappy Beatles tunes lined with subtle irony in front of a crowd of thousands.....

"I get by with a little help from my friends...." Oh, Mr. Prime Minister, how true it is.....

Happy couch surfing, even though your favourite shows will be inevitably violated by frequent attack ads.
