[quote:49201]Doesn't Stephen Harper look like
the kind of actor a US or US-but-
produced-in-Canada TV show uses
as the bad guy when they can't
afford a British actor?

(Which, when David Warner is still
working, is kind of unimaginable.
But still.)

You know the kind of guy. Grey
hair, so white you can practically
see through his skin into his
circulatory system, with the kind
of unblinking half-glower that let's
you know that no matter what he's
talking about, he's actually thinking
about shoving pregnant lesbians
tits-first into a woodchipper. He's
the white guy in the suit whose last
job was sitting behind a big desk
condemning Tia Carrere to death
in an episode of RELIC HUNTER.

Paul Martin should never have let on
that he was desperate. And now
he's in the bin and you're ruled by
the guy who plays Creepy Vice-
President in Sci-Fi Channel shows.

And, yes, I'm kicking my heels while
waiting for the funeral arrangements.
My girls are off to America on
holiday this week, so they're going
to miss the funeral. Which kind of
suits me, to be honest. The funeral
itself, I can handle. It's the thing
after it I hate, where you go back
to the house and the family's
supposed to lay on food and booze
and a bunch of relatives crawl out
of the woodwork to get shitfaced
and have a good laugh. I hate that.
I disappear after the service.

So I'm on my own for a couple of
weeks, from tomorrow. Weird
timing. Obviously, I'm not going to
be around much for the next few
days, but after that I imagine you
can expect a flurry of drunken,
paranoid, isolated ravings.
