Deep Thought of the Day

I may look like a fool, but I feel fine.

Okay, I like you Red, but I don't like what you're doing to my life...

Those who know me, know I'm a die-hard Liberal (by default because every other party horrifies me).
Now, the Federal elections are creeping upon us.

Jean Creepien ruined the Federal Liberals. That old hack should have stepped down with some amount of dignity. I'd like to pie him and join the foreign nations in pointing my finger and laughing at Canadian "security".

But alas, Paul Martin is such a cutie old man. He waddles and looks like he should have a cane. Maybe it would make him a little more distinguished.
He is very different from his father (Paul Martin Sr. who was all about the socialism - heck, he practically invented it).
But by association, I think that PM Martin must have social values at the heart of all his number crunching Finance Minister days.

Now, McGuinty and the Provincial Liberals... ARGH!
I was all good and fine with them. Even wondered why so many people were harping over the recent tax increase (for health care); Wondering, that is, until I received my paycheck yesterday.

JEBUS! I couldn't believe the packet I took. Boy, was I cheesed off. Of course, it would have been nice if my boss would have absorbed the new tax increase within the company (Big Fat Greek Chance of that happening...)
Good thing he's going to give me a raise (my probationary 3 months is up, and I didn't get fired! Congratulations, Carol~). So, now my hope is that my after-tax paycheck is going to be the same as it was when I first started! Isn't that ridiculous?

Provincial Liberals... You're ruining the Federal elections and I'd really like to kick someone.
But I suppose if I see real changes in the Health Care system - and soon - then I'll know my $50/w's extra in taxes is being used efficiently.
If, on the Ethernets, I see the Provincial Liberals hosting some sort of grand luncheon at my tax-expense, McGuinty can expect me to bring dessert.
