Never say never! I think things are cyclical - and I really do believe that there will come a time (again!) that the people of Ontario are so tired of the evil Conservatives and the stupid Liberals that they'll give the NDP another crack at it.

It's really a shame about the Liberal party. They haven't had a decent leader since Jean Chrétien (say what you will about him, but I liked the guy), which is so clearly a big part of why we are in our current mess. Jesus, why is it so hard for them to come up with a frontman with more likability than Harper? That guy is such a shitstick!

God, did I really just admit that a good portion of winning votes (not MY vote, but votes in general) has to do with likability?

Lickability is good, too. That's how the US got Bill Clinton - he's a babe!
