Props for the Liberals

I have give props to Dion and the Liberals. I would, for starters, give Dion an axe. Because so far the props they have used to prop up the Conservative have included every Liberal seat in the House of Commons.

The Conservative budget is, according to the Liberals, pointing in generally the right direction. Does that mean that the Conservatives think like Liberals or that the Liberals think like Conservatives? Who is bending in which direction? Are they leaning in for a kiss?

What is this “direction” of the Liberals anyway? We know that the Liberals’ “direction” is kind of similar to the Conservatives, but what is it exactly? If the Liberals want to gain seats in an election, they are going to have to make a name for themselves and the only way this would happen is if they would actually do or say something worthwhile. Make waves. Rock the boat. Stir up the pot. Say something. Do something.

Or they can continue to say that what the Conservatives do is not so far off the mark from what they can support.

  • Afghanistan until 2011? That’s close enough to 2009!
  • Budget favouring Conservative corporate friends? Hey, your friends are our friends too!
  • Bills and budgets which only do small amounts for the environment, families, the working class and the poor? We were going to talk about them and then ignore them too!

When there is an election, remember that giving the Liberals another seat is giving the Liberals another prop.

Kenny Rogers – Just Dropped In

After this week, I need to see what condition my condition is in. (Song: Kenny Rogers; Video: The Big Lebowsky)

I thought I would try optimism this year, and I don’t know if it worked. We will see.

Lordi – Would you love a monster man?

Now that Love Day is over, it is time for a drastic departure from the rest of this week’s videos. Maybe a positive answer would demonstrate real love moreso than to the more “tenderly” posed questions. Maybe.

Nazareth – Love Hurts

* Sigh *

February 14 – Soundie – Ten Pretty Girls, and I’ll Make You Mine

Valentine’s Day is here. And here is a double header soundie to mark the day. “Ten Pretty Girls” and “I’ll Make you Mine” sung by Niela Goodelle in excerpts from her last film “Air Parade.”

Five were blondes, four brunettes, and one saucy little redhead.

Armi & Danny – I Wanna Love You Tender

Very kitschy. Enjoy the music. Learn new dance moves.

I want to know why anyone would claim this is the worst music video ever. I was fascinated and could not stop from watching till the end. A success supreme.

Come on, Dion.

Pounce. Come on Dion. Pounce.

Start the chant.

I’m gonna pounce, pounce.
I’m gonna pounce, pounce.
I’m gonna pounce, pounce.
I’m gonna pounce, pounce.
Like a pussy cat.

February 13 – Soundie – Zig Me Baby with a Gentle Zag

Now, the fourth day of Valentine’s Day Week. And here is a wonderful soundie, “Zig Me Baby with a Gentle Zag.”

No politics today. Just enjoy the song and dance.

Screen Writer’s Reach a Deal.

In honour of the end of the Screen Writer’s Guild strike I present Thelma White and her All-Girl Orchestra performing the “Hollywood Boogie.”

LPC: The Liberal Pandas of Canada

By walking out on a vote that is tied to a motion of non-confidence the Liberals have proven their point. The question remains: What is their point?

The Liberals have no opinion. If the Liberals do not believe in the Bill that is being voted on and they walk out they are saying something. And they are saying it very loudly and clearly. They are saying “Do what you will. Carry on. Be the government that we cannot be.”

Through their inability to gain ground, popularity and position, even through all their posturing, they are Pandas. They cannot score and are slowly become extinct. The music is playing, the sex demonstration video is running and the keepers are watching in anticipation. Mei Sheng sees his mate, but rather munches on his bamboo shoots. The sex utopia created for Mei Sheng does not appeal to him. With every possible means by which to score, Mei Sheng prefers to watch all opportunities slowly fade away. It is unclear whether Mei Sheng realizes the importance of his action. By doing nothing except serving his own immediate interests Mei Sheng proves to be the poster child for erectile dysfunction.

Mei Sheng was a rising celebrity and was supposed to provide hope for the future of the Panada population. But the stress of this job and the inability to realize any potential led to a great depression which was only superseded by the vast and imminent demise in the stake Pandas would hold in the future. Mei Sheng appeared everywhere and with every word demonstrated his dysfunction and inability to secure a future for Panda-kind. And, for now, Mei Sheng prefers to leave the room rather than re-articulate his ineptitude.
