They need to update the Jesusland Map: it looks like Jesusland pretty much runs up the middle all the way to Alaska, with only Ontario in the United States of Canada.

Yep, not much blue left. Get it, blue....left. Har!

Honestly? There was never that much blue - or red, for that matter.

I did my dissertation on political mapping. I drew more red/blue maps than I really care to remember...

Conservatives: 124
Liberals: 103
Bloq Quebecois: 51
NDP: 29
Independent: 1

Conservatives: 124
Not the Conservatives: 184

BQ hold the balance of power, and they oppose the Liberals but are also quite left-learning in terms of things like social policy. Or so say the Canadians on my friendslists. What do I know? :-)

Thats cool. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative is tolerable. At least it is not a complete sell out like our (US) balance.

Which is why Shrub doesn't go in front of neutral or unfriendly audiences. ANYTHING to prevent dissent from being thrown up in his face.
Because if it doesn't happen on camera, it doesn't happen...

At least this (http://insomnia.livejournal.com/652389.html) was heartening.

Nifty.

Very heartening! That's awesome... though, even as I type, I don't doubt that their phone are being tapped. Cuz they're obviously terrorists and stuff ;)

I think Yahoo's broken; I can't make the links work.

(Damn. I need an icon for when I'm being silly.)
