I've said it before, but...

Rick! I love you!

From the Desk of Stephen Harper:

By now you know that we have defeated the government. It has been suggested that the people of Canada do not want an election at this juncture. Those of you who know me know this: I don’t care what the people think. I am not a people person. I don’t like people and the feeling is mutual.

I must admit I am sick of this discussion. I ask you, why in heaven’s name would I like People? The so called “people” had their chance 18 months ago and they choose not to give me a majority. This morning I suggested to Tom Flannigan that we should change our campaign slogan from “Standing up for Canada” to “Fuck the People”. He said no, pointing out that in politics honesty is not the best policy. “Besides” he added, “300 million bucks on an election nobody wants is about as big a “fuck you” to the people that the Tories can muster”. How we laughed!

So far I feel the campaign is going really well. In an effort to appease Ontario voters it is imperative that we bring forward an image of moderation. To this end I would like to point out that I waited a full five hours after parliament dissolved before I started in on the queers.

In fact, Rick may turn out to be all that makes this election bearable.

I really need an icon or two for this election. Cranky? Turn me loose on your Photoshop tonight?

you don't have photoshop??

hmmm.

also. rick. I SOOO *heart* Rick. Almost as much as I *disheart* Stephen. But very little will make this election bearable. Besides the inevitable and likely largely unconscious media fast which will no doubt be a part of the campaign for me. Because otherwise my head will explode and that will do no one any good. ;)

*sigh* No Photoshop. Illustrator, but that is much less helpful and I am nowhere near as good with it as with Photoshop (and there's a pretty pathetic benchmark). I CAN make icons using a combination of Photo Editor and Illustrator, but it takes ages and Photoshop has spoiled me.

Media fast is a GOOD idea. I mentioned listening to John Crosbie and having my head explode, yes?

yes, you did. and are you good at mailing things back? fairly promptly?

[electricland.livejournal.com]

Right at the moment, probably not. Ask me when I've moved into the House and have Systems...

the letter from the PMs desk is pretty good, too:

Of course I have to mention Belinda. If it wasn’t for her this government would have died months ago and me along with it. Some people in the press have referred to her as my guardian angel, I prefer to think of her as my political defibrillator. Even to this day when I see her coming I want to tear open my shirt, put Vaseline on my nipples and yell CLEAR!

Rick Mercer is brilliant. He is da bomb.
