Okay folks (Canadian folks that is), the Conservatives (read – ReFoRm!!!) have taken power.
Well, sort of.
They got a minority and a small minority at that.
For our American friends just joining us – We had a Federal election yesterday. The Liberals (your Democrats) were booted out and the Conservatives (your Bush-Republicans) got in, albeit with a sqeaky victory.
Hardly worth celebrating you say? Guess again.
With a Conservative minority victory as opposed to a Conservative majority, there are a bunch of things I can scratch off of my to-do/to-prepare-for list. Hmmmm, let’s see:
*build bomb shelter —Canada’s resistance to the weaponization of space unlikely to change anytime soon.
*trade in Honda Civic for armoured HumVee —too old to get sent to Iraq anyway.
*encourage wife to wear more modest attire – “honey, you look fabulous in those pettipants!”
*buy Brook’s Brothers suit… or coveralls
Hey. I have seen fake-fur on people. Fake-fur on dogs (real fur underneath the fake fur, ah, I guess) – but Fur on a coffee cup? Come on! Get outta here! What’s next:
*leather vest on a sirloin-tip?
*blue jeans on a hot dog?
Enough! Seriously though, 3 ladies have come up with a great idea. Read all about it on www.cupcouture.com –
