Me on LaFlaque

Tabar- nouche I'm trying to work on my French by watching Radio - Canada and look what I found. It's the work of Serge Chapleau, the creative La Presse cartoonist, on his muppet news show, Et Dieu Créa LaFlaque. Your tax dollars at work...

Maybe this cruel satire is one of the reasons I'm stuck at 33.33% in Quebec. Must get Brian to have a word with the producers. Or maybe we can wait till Tom Long finds a new CBC president and Chapleau can be induced to work on my smile and move my eyes wider apart et faire la tête moins carrée.

At least my French is better than Backpack Boy's English. Dieu bénisse le Canada!

Talk Tough Like Mike

•“Look, this is America and you have to decide what kind of country you want. This is your country as much as it is mine.” - 2004
*"Look, if I lose, I'll just move back to Massachusetts." - to the Harvard Crimson newspaper - 2006
*“If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you until I’m done.”
• "You're looking at someone who turned down the chance to become Prime Minister of Canada, and I did so, in part, because I felt it would divide the country."
• “I don’t need any lessons in legitimacy from Harper.”
• “He knows where to find me.”
• "He's creating a parliamentary crisis and dividing the country."
• "It’s his budget, not mine."
• "It's up to Harper to make the right decision and up to me to decide if he made it."
• "We're putting the government on probation."
•"Mr. Harper, your time is up.”
*"This is a prime minister who a year ago was trying to make you embarrassed if you liked opera or classical music or the ballet or poetry. I mean, come on, let's get over this. You can like hockey, you can like classical music. Let's stop playing Canadian against Canadian and taste against taste."
