Dear Bill, I am concerned that you have been losing touch with reality recently.

Many people have been referring to the coalition as a ‘coup’ or ‘undemocratic’. But that is far from the truth. I think a lot of that comes from watching too much American TV. I have to admit I’m not that familiar with all the rules regarding the parliamentary system, but have been learning a lot the last few days.

The Conservative’s greatest skill is understanding the minds of the ignorant and using that understanding in politics (Thanks to @buzzbishop for the quote). Hence some public outcry over what is going on in Ottawa.

The coalition is a perfectly legitimate possiblity in our parliamentary democracy. You may not like it, but it doesn’t make it ‘undemocratic’.

Here is a great article in the Toronto Star regarding this subject:
The Star – Constitution and precedent are on coalition’s side – Ignorance of parliamentary rules is distorting debate over legitimacy

Another point that the Conservatives keeping hammering is that the Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition is a ‘separatist coalition’. In 2004, Harper was willing to have a coalition with the Bloc, but now that it doesn’t fit to his ideas it is a ‘separatist coalition’. (globeandmail.com).

There are many rallies for the coalition government this Saturday December 6th, 2008.

The list can be found here:

There is a clip of Sandra Bernhard talking about Sarah Palin. Google Video – Sandra Bernard in Without You I’m Nothing

Now you got Uncle Women, like Sarah Palin, who jumps on the s–t and points her fingers at other women. Turncoat b—h! Don’t you f–kin’ reference Old Testament, bitch! You stay with your new Goyish crappy shiksa funky bulls–t! Don’t you touch my Old Testament, you b—h! Because we have left it open for interpre-ta-tion! It is no longer taken literally! You whore in your f–kin’ cheap New Vision cheap-ass plastic glasses and your [sneering voice] hair up. A Tina Fey-Megan Mullally brokedown bulls–t moment.

Bernhard is awesome.

She has also said some other outrageous stuff which isn’t in this video. The big headline is that she said: Palin Would Be Gang-Raped By Blacks in Manhattan

She may have crossed the line with that one, but she always has crossed the line. Why would she be different now?

Harper has called for an election on October 14th (Lourdes’ birthday).

Election called for Oct. 14

I still don’t know who I am going to vote for yet. Have to find out about the candidates in this riding. I know for sure I am NOT voting Conservative.

Oprah Winfrey had Barack Obama on her show in January 2005 and October 2006. She has officially endorsed Obama for the 2008 Election. She hasn’t had any other candidate on her show this year and hasn’t had Obama on since he officially was running to become president. So why the hell should have have Palin on BEFORE the election in November?
In my opinion, she shouldn’t. She must wait until after the election. So get over it Republicans.

ABC News: Is Oprah Biased?

This is great news!

The Governor General’s website states that Morgentaler was made a member of the Order of Canada for “his commitment to increased health care options for women, his determined efforts to influence Canadian public policy and his leadership in humanist and civil liberties organizations.”

CTV.ca – Henry Morgentaler named to Order of Canada

So I wonder if this means it won’t be King William after all…
