A Great Conservative Waxes Autumnal

Brian just linked me this. "Note Rick Mercer is being properly obsequious," he jokes, "in the face of so much greatness. Meaning he never once appears on camera, never appears nude, never rants and roars. On the other hand, maybe he was in the kitchen with Barbara eating cookies."

Poor Crossharbour. Stuck in Palm Beach during hurricane season. Our prayers go out to you this Thanksgiving. Next year, if I'm still around, come on up to Harrington Lake.

And knock 'em dead with your appeal. You have added far more value than your shareholders (and fellow countrymen) deserved.

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."
