And where are all the gods?
Where’s the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I needI need a reho!
I’m holding out for a reho ’till the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fightI need a reho!
I’m holding out for a reho ’till the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Larger than life
UPDATE…

See Ted, there’s that comprehension thing again.
At no time did I call you any names. I did question you regarding your morals, ethics and intelligence. But hey, help me out here. I’m just trying to understand. Because for the life of me, I can’t figure out how any honest person with even a modicum of intelligence can continue to support the most corrupt party in Canadian history.
I guess I was asking the wrong person.
Ted,
(QUOTE)”Do the Conservatives want an effective independent senate or just an echo chamber that does the bidding of the MPs?”(END QUOTE)
You know the answer, why ask the question?
(QUOTE)If the former, then why whine about whether an MP can control senators appointed by past Prime Ministers?(END QUOTE)
Nicely phrased bit of political spin. Of course, we’re not talking about an “MP” here, we’re talking about the *Leader of the Liberal Party du Canada*. You know, the party that retains majority in the Upper Chamber. If it were *truly* your reho’s will to enact term limits, his word is all it would take. Yet, one year later, we’re still at an impass. This, in Fantasyland du Ted, reflects negatively on Conservatives. Um, ok.
(QUOTE)If the latter, then why whine on and on about the effectiveness of the senate?(END QUOTE)
Because it’s not, and you know it.
Not sure if this has been posted yet. But it’s rather good. I especially like Kyoto’s Dog Blog.

Ted, “Where’s the beef?”
Here’s the beef:

You asked. I can’t imagine that you’ll be disappointed.
One last thing, for anyone (including Tory bloggers who are in a snit) who wonders why the continued attack ads?
Simply put, Canadian voters are morons. The so-called “mushy middle” or “swing voters” have the attention span of a gnat. Don’t get me wrong, the overwhelming majority are concerned and caring, productive people. Problem is, they can’t retain anything past the last episode of Survivor.
Reinforcing the weaknesses of Dijon will stick. Negative? Yes. Effective? A certainty. The reason that they’re not promoting any further agenda or priorities is twofold: 1. A sizeable amount of their previous commitments are sitting in Committee or in the Senate. 2. They’re about to break for the summer, and an election is not imminent for months, which brings us back to the whole “gnat” thing.
Stew in your juices over the summer Ted.
“If it were *truly* your reho’s will to enact term limits, his word is all it would take.”
I have some land in Florida for sale. Interested?
Oh we shouldn’t be too hard on Ted he’s just a LIEberal apologist.
As so many contributors have pointed out, the LIEberals have much to apologize for.
For Dion to go on defending the indefensible, about having an unelected Senate in a democracy, just undercuts his ostensible notion of ‘getting things done’.
If anything the Senate has been as obstructionist as possible, in getting things done.
They dawdled as long as humanly possible on the Accountability Act.
I think we understand the LIEberal mantra
LIEberal = good
Conservative = bad or end of the world
It’s all relative after all, just make sure you hire as many friends and relatives to drain Her Majesty’s treasury.
Yeah, 227 Billion dollar budget is quite the motivator don’t you think?
Actually, Hans, I’d consider myself a Conservative critic.
If you’ve been following what I generally say, I’m not that impressed with the Liberal Party and certainly not impressed with what it has been doing the last few years after saving Canada by balancing the budget, fixing our pensions for a generation, reducing our taxes, investing in education and innovation through the Research Counsel. But that was a long time ago.
But Harper’s juvenile petty partisanship, his disregard for his own accountability and transparency standards, his immense list of broken promises already, means Canadians have to suffer through yet another bad government more concerned about power that representing and doing things for Canadians.
LOL
So, riddle me this Ted:
It’s 1997, Jean Chretien wants a Bill that has passed through the House to be fastracked in the Senate.
Does the Senate sit on it for over a year?
Send me the prospectus of that land.
If it’s as poorly drafted as this bill and the government refused to correct some obvious errors out of arrogance and stubborness, yeah, I bet they would.
Well I’m glad you cleared that up Ted.
I always find the phrase ‘saving Canada’ interesting.
I believe it was Samuel Johnson who suggested on April 7th, 1775 that:
“Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.”
I just love those phrases which convey a false patriotism, those which suggest we can steal from the public, wrap ourselves in the flag, and call it Canadian values.
With all due respect Ted, I am not willing to let the brigands grab the tiller for a while yet. Witness the recent Option Canada nonsense.
Given Mr. Dion’s recent booing at the labour rally I think this possibility is looking increasingly remote.
BTW I think PM Stephen Harper made an announcement regarding 9.2 Billion in funding for Science and Technology.

I’m not wrapping myself in the flag or, like Harper or Martin, claiming those who don’t share my views are un-Canadian Hans.
I think Mulroney, while almost destroying Canada with Meech and Charlottetown and overspending and corruption, also did a big part in saving Canada by showing the courage and foresight to push forward with the FTA.
Unlike most here it seems, I’m no blind partisan and I get disgusted with the with us or against Canada approach.
Wait… He boasts that he is the most influential opposition leader in a generation?? He is proud to be the Leader of the Opposition?
As far as I’m concerned, he is welcome to hold that position as long as he wants; hopefully over 1 or 2 more elections.
I don’t bother reading “Ted’s” posts, but I did count them. 18 posts in under 9 hours.
TED – GET A LIFE
On that, we can agree!
i just watched the national news on cbc and not one mention of dion getting it . who says the media is slanted eh!!!!
i just watched the national news….
they did cover Canada’s tired new government not supporting the troops and then blaming it on Hillier.
Seems to me that everyone online is and reading and seeing the non-story through links to the media stubby. That would be called national coverage to most people.
Wheres some red or green krytonite when you need some?

Rough reception for Dion
Raw video: Liberal leader heckled and booed at labour rally
Booed off the stage; Dion retreats.

“Especially with the much better produced, actually funny Young Liberal ads that came out today. Much more professionally done but by amateurs with no money. How’s that for a role reversal!”
So sez Ted.
Now for some experienced criticism: The ads are brutal. But what would you expect from tainted children sent to do an adults job? Satire? Give me a break. They are juvenile and contrived. And given that they deal with unreality – ie: hip-waders, due to sea levels rising 20 feet – they will only appeal to little snotty nosed Liberals of all ages.
Like you, for example, Ted.
So what’s Dion’s idea? C02 and Kyoto. Both problem and solution absolutely unproven and one is rather dangerous.
But then what would you expect from a snotty nosed, juvenile Liberal? One who recently said, “Michael (Ignatieff) is the best writer we have. Next to me” and “some consider me a reho.”
So lets make that a snotty nosed, juvenile Liberal with a disasterously large ego problem, who butchers the language of 80% of the population.
I’d say you’ve got a major problem there Ted. I’d also say the Conservatives should concentrate on exposing your Citizen of France, Trotsky lover and his over abundance of flaws. As the leader of the opposition, he’s already an unbearable embarrassment for Canada. As PM, he represents an embarrassment we might never recover from.
Therefore, the Conservative campaign is less a political campaign. It’s more a public service campaign, to the benefit of all Canadians. Left or Right.
Hey Ted, why aren’t Liberals talking “positive” about their ideas. Because they haven’t any. Typical Liberal projection – they’re incompetent, so they accuse Tories of incompetence; Grits and liars and thieves, so Tories are corrupt.
When that doesn’t work, then they use the “it’s someone else’s fault” argument. They were in power, with majority for over 12 years, but Tories (Harper, Klein and amazingly, Harris) are to blame for “obstructing.” Liberal Senators aren’t holding up term limits – it’s the Premiers (apparently NB and PEI, let’s ignore the other eight).
Apparently Liberals only capable of action when they’re not in power. They do nothing but lie to us and steal from us for over 12 years, but we must bring them back, because Tories are destroying country.
What breathtaking hypocrisy. Notice they don’t want election; they’d rather try to rule parliament through committees and unelected patronage ridden Senate until 2009.
By then, surely a whole bunch of soldiers will come back in body bags, perhaps there will be an earthquake on Vancouver Island. Some calamity, any calamity.
Then, they get to blame somebody else, offer no solutions, make promises they have no intention of keeping; anything to regain power and access to treasury.
If you want nothing done about environment, vote Liberal. That is their record, period.
To be fair, in the CTV poll on who’d you would like to watch the Cup Final with, most respondents know that sitting with citoyen Dion would be painful to the max, having to explain icing, off-side, hooking, et al throughout the entire game…
And Ted, take your lame act back to your lame blog, you’re nothing but a lib toady.
Ted says we deserve better and to him that means we deserves a party of pickpockets and thieves. Elitist entitled liberals like Ted looks at the average Canadian with contempt. How else could one explain him supporting a party that steals from Canadians and calls them “pop corn eating fools”. Yes Canadians deserve better that’s why we have a Conservative government.
