I realize I am chiming in late on this one but I was unable to blog earlier today. In case anyone hasn't heard yet(like who hasn't?), Harper has dodged a political bullet and has had the House officially shut down until the new year. No doubt Conservatives all across the country are jumping with joy while the Lib/NDP/Bloc fanboys and girls might feel like they have had the wind knocked out of them. It wasn't but a few days ago that the left was saying Merry Christmas and hoping that a nice new Dion would be tucked under their trees all nice and shiny like. For a whole day, that seemed possible, but then reality set in and Canadians started to wonder wtf was really going on and cast doubt at the possibility of having a coalition of losers run our country.

Follow up:

Not only that, some in the Liberal party were even having doubts, but they kept quiet, then stared to slowly release comments here and there. Now I don't call them losers to be mean, but they did in fact lose in some way because they aren't the PM, which is what they all aspire to be, well except for Duceppe. He has never proclaimed the desire to be PM because he knows that it is impossible so I will just call him a sad little man.

So the merry bunch thought they were going to score big time this holiday season. Instead, The Grinch, err, Stephen Harper, err, the Grinch, yes thats it, came in and stole everything out from under the coalition, even the Canadian flag it seems. Now the Grinch of course is a bitter, cave dwelling, sweater-vest wearing creature with a heart two sizes too small. He may even be green underneath his sweater-vests;he might even dress up as Santa sometimes just to make himself feel "human", we don't know. But what we do know is that he went to Rideau Hall and offered to cut the roast beast for Governor-General Michaëlle Jean and she was so pleased that she gave the Grinch consent to suspend parliament until the new year.

Little Michaëlle Jean then had to tell the coalition that she let the Grinch off the hook by saying to Dion,

don't forget the Grinch. I know he's mean and hairy and smelly, and his hands are cold and clammy, but I think he's kinda... sweet.

Now Dion wasn't pleased and little Jack Layton was upset that he would have to go back to slinging video professor cd's on late night infomercials just to put food on the kitchen table. Oh,and the Ducepper, well I think he was last heard screaming phoque or something like that.
