Jesus Layton swung by. He was pretty shook up. He said the whole concept
of getting into Harper's face was his, and that, "those desperate
Liberals, stole the obnoxious stunt idea from me and Chow-Chow! We did
it first to Dennis Mills, remember?" Jesus said that now he needed
a new gimmick and that his rose-coloured world "was caving in."
The poor pious and sanctimoniously smug one really can be so naïve.
Offered to go shopping with him to buy him a new crown of thorns. He asked
for some water. Wasn't sure if he was going to drink it or walk on it.

Harpo (Malice in Blunderland) seems to be finally showing some personality,
which is a nice change. Unfortunately it's that smug arrogance that I
think we all knew was lurking underneath.
I asked Harpo what does being a successful politician mean to him. He
said that being a successful politician meant going to work with an air
of confidence and leaving with a sense of accomplishment. That it meant
attention to detail and people skills. That it meant giving a 110% even
when he had a hangover that would kill a mammal five times his body weight.
It meant not openly scowling at homosexuals, "welfare bums,"
atheist heathens, pro-choicers, and immigrants. It also meant keeping
up appearances and leaving his chemical dependency home with his wife…
where they both belong. It meant not rocking the conservative boat. It
meant venting his internal rage on the economy, the environment, and the
squash court, rather than on his family or party… Because, hey, people
look up to him.

25 phone messages on my machine from "Raving Duceppe." And hundreds
of emails! He also sent me flowers and chocolate. I also gather from one
of his rambling phone messages that he had a picture of my face tattooed
onto his ass. It would be sort of flattering if it wasn't so creepy.
