If God Had a Shaft.

Okay, so before you do anything, you have to go and check out David Usher's website. It is surreal. Make sure you look at the Hi-Fi version and then sit and stare intently as the page loads. I have it on high authority that David Usher is a little bananas (I can't figure out if that makes him hotter than he already is or not...). I listened to the samples of his new cd "If God Had Curves" and quickly filed it in the "music for bedwetters" category right behind Cold Play. Not my cup of tea, but he sure is fine/doable.

Onto politics. As someone that voted Liberal in the last Federal election only out of fear that the Conservatives might actually win in our riding, and potentially assisting that awful homophobe Stephen Harper in becoming Prime Minister, I am absolutely THRILLED that Jack Layton and Paul Martin were able to come to an agreement to avoid another election. Got that Mincemeat Vixen? I would have voted NDP...meaning, despite my stirring the pot with my unions are not up-to-date post, I do actually lean to the left. While a minority government is not ideal, I actually think that their ability to work together to get stuff done is very positive. It isn't about making a "deal with the devil" as Harper would have you believe, it is about compromise and finding a middle ground that the majority can live with. That's Canada buddy. If you don't like it, move down to the US where folks ultimately get 2 choices, neither of which are fantastic.

Last word - American Idol. Dude. Paula, pull yourself together...he wasn't all that good. I think Simon needs to stop telling Scott Savol to pack his bags though, it's getting him the sympathy vote. So long Constantine. Despite what Paula says, you are not going to move on to great things, you are going to wallow in mediocrity and then fade away and turn to dust. Pitchy dust at that.
