That's not steely control, Stephen, it's monumental disinterest. There's a difference.


Shorter Blogging Tory co-founder Stephen Taylor: "I have to agree with The Economist -- when I look at a prime minister who saw this financial crisis coming and, in response, immediately and petulantly plunged us into an unnecessary, wasteful and hypocritical federal election, the first word that comes to mind for me is 'prudence'."

There's been a lot of ink in the Ottawa Citizen about how Harper's "buying opportunity" comment shows that he is an honest politician who has this whole crisis figured out.

As for me, I going over to e-Bay to offer a shitload of buying opportunities to the highest bidder. Mind you, if the markets continue to tank today I may end up in a position of not being able to give the stock away.

Aw c'mon, this is Harper being the strategic chess genius he is. He's deliberately planned to lose this election so he's not in charge taking the blame for everything when things go kablam. Honest. Then he'll stroll back into power with a majority when the Liberals are strewn across the economic countryside.

It was designed by top men. Top. Men.
