Watched Dion's address today on TV.

Oddly, I was pleasantly, surprised by his performance.

No, really... seriously, ... c'mon, stop laughing!

True, his command of English is still horrific. True, when he talks too fast he elides over so many syllables that he becomes virtually unintelligible. True, his skinny neck and slim head remind me of an ET-esque character. But, when he took his time speaking today, I could understand him - - and maybe, ... just maybe, there is a method to his linguistically challenged madness.

The argument he advanced against renewing Harper's mandate was cogent. If one's a Lib (I am not) then they may take some solace.
I suppose if you read the speech in text form and looked solely at its construct and thematic development then a case could be made that the Liberal narrative has possibilities.

In fact, it may even be capable of giving our PM 'Achieve Steve' a run for his ... ah, ... there I go again, ... dreaming in techno-colour.

Oh well, better a dream than another Orwellian nightmare inspired by the very thought a Harper majority.

Blessed-Buddha, is there nothing we can do to avoid this fate?

As for the NDP, can't Slick Jack be imposed upon not to split the anti-Harper vote?

Maybe he could ally his party with the Green's? Of course, Elizabeth May would necessarily have to be the leader of any new coalition. As Jack is pathologically incapable of doing little more in an election campaign than generating empty nauseating bluster.

p.s. Am I the only one who worries that one day, as Slick Jack beats his chest in indignation (over this, that, or the other thing) in a media scrum that one of those odd veins on the side of his temple is suddenly just going to explode? Just curious?
