It is, in fact, 1:59 a.m. Crazy stuff, as they say. No Mike for me tonight, which is sad, I think. Miss him lots. Ability to write in proper sentences has been somewhat protracted by tiredness and the fact that I'm sitting sideways at my computer desk for no real reason.
Okay, posture corrected now. Things better. Sentences not among things. Must stop writing like inane ass.
Roger that. I've been meaning to clarify something I wrote a few days ago, about how the Ontario Progressive Conservative party was the best of a sorry bunch. The following is my opinion of the state of politics in the province of Ontario. Don't read it if you're not interested in these sorts of things. I'm just saying. But really, let's look at things this way: the Progressive Conservatives have a bad reputation. Quite possibly so--one of Mike Harris' promises during the last election was to introduce mandatory drug tests for welfare recipients. I think that's BS--to say nothing of a violation of basic human rights. Let's look at the opposition: the Liberals, headed by Dalton "Norman Bates" McGuinty. This guy changes positions like he's a weather vane. In all seriousness, it can be better to take a position on an issue, be wrong and have stood up for your convictions than it is to change your mind every five minutes. Also, he looks like Norman Bates in Psycho. A LOT. The other (major) party is the New Democratic party, born out of the ashes of the Canadian Commonwealth Federation, an old school Canadian socialist party. They're led by Howard "Ham Bone" Hampton, whose life seems to consist of drafting open letters to the province challenging their positions on this, that or the other thing. The last time the NDP was in power, the province was in a lot of trouble. Remember Ray days, anyone?
There's also independent candidates and the Green party, but I don't know enough of either of them to really say anything. But basically, I think what I'm getting at is that the Tories are not necessarily the best party (I like the moderation of the Liberals a bit more) but that the Tories are more oriented towards the kind of leadership that the province needs right now.
Of course, i'll likely be proven wrong with the next election.
