Though we keep calling him a businessman, it is evident he really is a precocious self-dramatist, a one-man factory for the great story of himself who set out from boyhood on to command the spotlight and register his outsized presence in the company of those whom the world chooses to call great, to be at one with its princes and powers as lord, tycoon, author, press baron, and eminence.

He has immense theatrical gifts, a personality that combines flair, menace, stentorian insistence with a busy and aggressive mind afloat on a gorgeous stream of its own self-appreciation. He is a man whose powers of rhetoric are far more abundant than the many packs of lawyers he has remorselessly sent out to harass witless journalists, knavish biographers, assorted poltroons, jackals, and guttersnipes, that great cluster of anybody whom he considered a pest, a nuisance, or a threat.



Then I realized it was about Conrad Black

What a tease!

Conrad Black owned the Chicago Sun-Times. They should convict him on those grounds alone.

Speaking of dodgy canadians, and also of Conrad Black, I'm hearing that the good people of Quebec might elect a far-right semi-fascist, a guy that has been called "the Canadian Jean-Marie Le Pen".

Mario Dumont, and his Action démocratique du Québec party.

So is it true? You guys might elect a racist asShole?

Say it ain't so, Bodh!

The Liberals won a minority gov't in Kheybeck.

Canada as a whole elected a far right ******* who also happens to be some sort of emotionless robot.

Oh and say what you will about our high strung xenophobic francophone compatriots Tare, they are infinitely more interesting and cultured than the red necked, self entitled xenophobic twats that hail from the undeniable sh'it hole that is Alberta.

Harper is fantastic. No coddling to the special interest groups who have played the media sooooo well for years in Canada.

He has the pulse of the people in Canada, and the media can't crack this man who truly has character, try as they might.

And Alberta rocks. Best people on the planet.

Harper will finally start turning the pendulum back from the bizarre and looney radical arc to the far left it has been on.

QFTMFT.

At least Stockwell Day had a pulse. Harper scares the beejesus outta me.

Please master, let me try to snatch the over-rated post count from your hand.

Stockwell Day was too in your face about getting things back to normalcy in Canada, and the media, fueled by the special interest groups, chewed him up.

Harper is slow and steady. Gaining small bits of turf lost over the years.

Really Tare, Queerbec? Did you learn this term from the same unoriginal Bertans that said "Nodiques" when referring to the future 'Colorado Avalanche'.

If the term Queerbeck holds any merit he just might!

Unoriginal and standard Albertan fare, I'm afraid.
