As promised, a political post. This one will be short, if not entirely merciful.

Seems to me that the Green Party position on lawn signs makes sense. I've grown tired of seeing the inevitable street corner visual clutter every time an election - civic, provincial, federal - is called. The visual pollution, the wasted raw materials and cash...

And don't think about starting me off on the signage that clusters within line-of-sight of our schools, or we'll be online here all well.

Mr. Harper speaks to the question of allowing Green Party participation in the televised leaders' debates to come.

Respectfully, Mr. Prime Minister, you're wrong on this one. The Liberals and Greens are not married politically to each other. They may be engaging in an alliance of sorts here to ensure that both parties have a voice in the next Parliament, but they're not branches of each other. Nor do they plan to become such over the long haul.

It would not, therefore, be "fundamentally unfair" to grant Elizabeth May a podium at the debates.

Let's hear her out.

Soon, please.

Some scribbles about Dr. Nautilus. Please note this is not his finalized deep-sea ops suit...or at least not his only one.

And almost as if in response to my reaction to Mr. Harper's complaint...the answer of the Major Canadian TV Networks is "No, you can't."

Disgusting.

For some brief additional commentary, I refer you to Justin Beach at publicbroadcasting.ca. Make of it what you will.
