Makeover Complete

OK, I'm back from the Blogwarts School of Wizardry and Magic, ready for the new sessions. The CBC and Toronto Star won't believe what wonders we have in store this term at the old castle.

An election? I'm afraid not, at least not until the ~~Muggles~~ Puffins have raised enough money to compete on a level playing field.

Pix: Here I am with Minerva McGonagall, Professor of Transfiguration. Note Bush talking to Valdemort, back row left.

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."
