Okay, this has been a weird way to start the day: CBC radio has the different political parties competing for 80's Wiz by having different members of their parties sing karaoke 80's tunes. Listening to Rahim Jaffer sing Sexual Healing was just a wee bit too much for me.

I must say, this is what I enjoy about Canadian politics - we get our politicians to do shit that is unheard of in other countries. Getting parliament to sing Raise a Little Hell to get people out to vote. We all remember when Rick Mercer got more people to vote to change Stockwell Day's name to Doris than we get to vote for the national elections. And then, once we had voted to change it, Stockwell - sorry Doris - singing a Doris Day song on TV. Our last PM Jean Chretien getting bashed around by Marg Delahunty (a satirist in Canada who is a more than middle aged woman who goes into gov't dressed as Xena: Warrior Princess with sword and large old maid spectacles).

With the American elections 3 days away, it makes me wonder if Bush or Kerry would ever publically humiliate themselves like this. As we all know the answer to this, it makes me proud of our clownish antics here in good ol' Beaverland.
