april
how do i hate thee, let me count the ways.
1. income tax, enough said.
2. performance appraisals at the cracker factory. i don't know what i hate more, writing appraisals for my staff or being the recipient of an appraisal. call it a draw, they both bug me.
3. our federal election. funny how the politicians tell us to tighten our belts for 4 years but when the election is on somehow there's enough money to grant all of our wishes.
the worst offender in bullshit promises is the leader of the ndp, new democratic party. the king of the lefties flies into every city, finds out what everybody wants and gives a rip roaring speech promising to pay for whatever the rubes desire. of course he doesn't have a hope in hell of becoming the prime minister so he can promise the moon. he's a real douchebag but so far he's put out the best commercial i've seen:
another commercial i like is from the libertarian party:
of course the libertarians are a bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing. the name sounds cool but essentially they're a bunch of right wing crackpots. they don't have a candidate in my riding so i couldn't vote for them if i wanted to. unfortunately the herbal refreshment party doesn't have a candidate in my riding either.
right now it's a toss up as to who is going to get my vote. it's a dead heat between the greens and the marxist leninists. i'm leaning towards the marxist leninists.
so it goes.

Michael Ignatieff is a politician?? The guy used to be an intellectual who interviewed philosophers on TV. His voice sounds totally different as well, as if he's trying to be a regular guy. How did he get into politics?
You have the right to vote for any of the fucking idiots you want to vote for.
Politics are not here for us, they are there for them.

My best guess is that he somehow got sucked into the club and became a member. That's what they do, make you a fucking member.
gb - iggy was going to the liberal party savior, a harvard professor with an an excellent resume but he's hasn't worked out as promised. he spent last summer and fall learning how to be regular guy traveling the country and talking to the common folk.
billy - iggy's ego got the best of him. he figured his intellect and fame would carry him to the prime minister's office but a farm boy from alberta seems to have outsmarted him.

What the fuck for? Only an idiot would want to be the prime minister.
billy - being prime minister is a sweet job. good salary and plenty of free stuff.
The irony of libertarianism is that it is just as impractical as the utopian dreams that it eschews.
But it's attractive, no doubt.
So if the marxist leninists are elected, will your PM have a beard like Che Guevara, or one of those tight little goatees like Lenin, I wonder?
They do the same thing, of course, here in the U.S. When election time rolls around the politicians spend shitloads of money mudslinging other opponents and making empty promises. I agree with ya on April. It sucks for a lot of reasons. One being that the Easter Bunny sneaks into my place at night and rapes and traumatizes my cat. I have to take my kitty to therapy around this time of year every year. And I won't even go into details about the costly vet bills for repairing his ruptured butt hole. Have a nice day.
thims - yup, they don't have a plan for helping the less fortunate.
robert - my voting for the marxists is based on them having no chance of being elected. but a che guevera t-shirt would be nice.
kelly - i shot the easter bunny a few years back. now the easter turtle visits and has a cup of tea with me.
When I was a kid I could always tell when the County Commissioner elections were approaching.
Our horrible county roads were suddenly smooth and pothole free.
Boy that second video was a little scary. And I'm really hungry for pancakes, now. Wonder if I can get anyone to flip 'em for me... ;)
ah, it's good to know we're not the only country that's got fucked up politicians..sigh*
tex - we use to have the same deal in the rural areas. when an election was called all the roads would get fixed.
jayne - if the libertarian ever got a charismatic leader they'd be dangerous.
yellowdog - yup, our politicians think of themselves first and the country second. just like yours.
Your politics are obviously just as silly as ours. Poor baby.
I like April once tax time has passed.
nance - poor little, poor little, poor little me!
secret - and best of all may is just around the corner.
