Is Harper Really That Smart?

A quote: It's not unusual for a political party to shoot itself in the foot. It is unusual that they'd take such careful aim.

Tangentially related to this, I remember seeing web page ads that featured a cartoon George W Bush - usually with a saying like "His IQ is 127, what's yours?". It was basically an updated punch the monkey ad. I've seen it on Fark and Hotmail and such. The most important thing this tells me is that I should configure an ad-blocker. I'd do this, except I'm in love with most of the Snorg-Tee models.

Where was I? Oh yes, test your IQ vs. Bush ads. I'm now seeing them with Harper. Take that as you will. Not only are the Ads getting more specific - they're probably getting my location off my IP address, they also know who to satirize.

This is the first time the Conservatives have done something like this.

Let's not forget they owe their existence to gathering the remains of another party under the Blue after their last massacre.

If it helps, I have never used that excuse for you. Then again, I have never used that excuse for anybody.

Heh... I can only hope that as my looks fade, I become crafty and wily enough to replace being cute. :)
