Dude, it's Mike Watt from the Minutemen hanging with Kelly Clarkson!!!!! He played bass on her new record.

Well, I don't want Hillary, but she's not a Dem version of George Bush. She has her own thing going.

Are you wowing me saying Hillary isn't a Dem version of Bush? Or the Watt/Clarkson collaboration?

At least you guys have some 'interesting' potential candidates on your hands. A mormon, a Clinton, and a 'black' (wooooo) candidate. The next Lab PM leadership 'battle' isn't even going contested here by all accounts (hello, democracy? Who voted YOU in?). Blair-Brown, 1997-present, looks an awful lot like Chrétien-Martin 1990-2003. The only difference being Martin looked like he was headed for the biggest majority in Canadian history when he finally gave the old goat the heave ho, while Brown is already looking like potential roadkill. I'll go for the shitbag, too, as a pure hypothetical. In terms of our politics, though, I'd certainly take a Joe Clark or a Bob Stanfield over our current PM. |

She's a little left of Bush, but she has made the comment that she wants to be the American Margaret Thatcher in a couple of publications (which ones I can't remember off the top of my head). I'm actually deeply troubled by someone wanting to be like Thatcher. Eeps. |

I gotta be honest, I think Hilary would be pretty close to a lefty Bush. Of course a dem. could never be so blind and willful in a political sense and get elected president, you can only do that if you wrap it in nationalism and traditional values.

Sorry Drum, missed this with my crappy multi-tasking skills. Have to say I know buger all about Canadian politics but the 'roadkill before he starts' metaphor is probably on the nose. If you are deeply associated with an unpopular government, as Brown is with Blair as Chancellor (biggest job after PM) then you're on a severe back foot. I don't like Brown personally. He almost makes the Tory leader look relatively appealing, and I don't ever want to go down that path. Edit - way to mess up a post... |
