Between tonight's low temperature and the freezing point for water. Way too freaking cool for mid-June in southern Ontario. I vote we all move south.
Speaking of which, having unintentionally viewed the last half hour of the political debate which appeared to have been unmoderated or at least poorly moderated, I have become interested in voting if only to ensure that neither of the two worst examples of Canadian political acumen has an opportunity to piss off anyone other than his own constituents.
It would be nice to be voting for the best person for the job, but I'll settle for voting for the least ridiculous and least ugly. Forgetting any other undesirable attributes we know him to have, Martin has to be the most painful person to look at to have graced our media networks ever. If that's what being a successful shipping magnate does to you, Health Canada should issue some kind of warning.
And how could you not be more inclined to vote for someone who has yet to reveal his inner darkness and looks like Richard Dreyfuss? I mean, ignoring the rhetoric and mudslinging, we do have looks and deportment to go on - right?
I'm also going to vote just to find out whether or not the Bloc Quebecois is actually on my ballot. If not, I'll want to know why they were part of the televised debate while the Green Party was not.
Here's a quote that will remove your election frown. It's from the candidate from Tamworth, running as Rosie the Clown in my district of Kingston and the Islands (I'm not making this up) regarding same-sex marriage:
"Both parties in a marriage should be having the same sex." [from Kingston This Week, June 18, 2004]
