Dagnabbit


The only thing that makes frequently having to hear the words "Stephen Harper" and "Prime Minister" in the same sentence for the next little while is how puny his lead is over the Liberals, despite all the overly ambitious prognostications. And what a tasty spot the NDP are in.

But Canada (and any other nation that wants to chime in), I ask you: what is the deal with that man's face and hair? He's a poster child for what is wrong with the aesthetics of Canadian politicians. His hair looks like it's made of wood. And that frighteningly wide stretch of pasty white face, with the non-stop stolid expression? American politicians may look a lot like realtors, but Canadian politicians tend to look like an amalgam of our raw material exports.

Is making fun of the way someone looks a mature way of criticizing their politics? No. Does it make me feel better? Yes, yes it does.
