Boring political stuff

What's more boring than reading about someone's political observations? I know, so I'll keep it short and will finish with some twin photos to placate the masses.

Watched the French debate last night:
- During the "pre-game show" Don Newman kept referring to it as the Quebec debate and to tonight's debate as the Rest of Canada debate. Are you kidding me? The CBC dismisses all of the French speaking Canadians outside of Quebec. It was weird.
- Dion leads with his surprise announcement of his new economic crisis plan. His plan is to spend the first 30 days consulting with experts from the Bank of Canada and elsewhere in order to come up with a plan. Umm, note to Stephane - that's not a plan and that's not leadership.
- But what do I know. A poll of French Canadians taken right after the debate showed that 40% thought that Dion won the debate. Then again, these same people thought that Layton was the sexiest of the leaders, so perhaps it says more about the poll-takers than about me. For the record, I'm going with Duceppe as sexiest, but let's not head too far down that road.
- I thought May was feisty and hilarious, considering she speaks about 20 words of French. She learned that the French word for fraud is fraude, and proceeded to shout fraude at Harper. The funniest moment of the debate had to be when each leader was asked to say something nice about the leader on their left and May drew the short straw of having to praise Harper. She said that he was a good dad and that his kids are charming and then she looked like she was sucking on a lemon as she said that he has strong principles, but then she couldn't stand it any longer and ranted that his principles might be strongly-held but that they're all wrong and will lead to the destruction of the environment and our country.

In the interest of full disclosure I'm voting Green and am feeling more optimistic about their chances since our lawn sign went missing about 24 hours after it was erected. Good to see that someone thinks they're a threat.

Off to watch the English debate and probably switching over to see just how vapid Palin is in the VP debate.
