When have Conservatives ever been fiscally responsible while yelling about how stingy they really are?

Paul Martin? Heck with that, merge Martin and Chretien in a single cloned body, or a disembodied brain in a jar and have It run until Justin or someone else with a clue shows up.

Or elect the gawddamn NDP for once and give them a chance at running the country - they can't do any worse than Stevie's doing, and might actually get a little useful practice in before the Liberals win another election.

Two years 'til the next election? Not a chance. I give it eight months tops with the unemployment stats skyrocketing as the oilsands grinds to a profitless halt and other sectors stagnant or dropping.
