Ah, \'Issues\'
This is funny...Sorta.
As you may or may not know, we here in Canada recently elected a conservative Prime Minister (President, for those of you down south).
And the liberal media where I live has already seized on the important; nay, the critical issue of the moment.
See, Stephan Harper (Our PM), drove his children (6 year old daughter, 12 year old son) to school, and then, in a dasterdly act only a horrible father could contemplate, Shook their hands, instead of hugging them! In front of all their friends!
This has been in the paper for a few days now; at it's latest, in an online poll.
How, in any way, shape or form, is this even the countries' business?
This whole thing gives me a nice, warm glow. I mean, if this is all the 'dirt' they could find on him...

Hey, at least your head of state didn't choke on a pretzel and have the media cover it for a full WEEK.

Re: Ah, \'Issues\'
How conservative can a Canadian be? I once thought if Pat Buchanan was elected president that I would flee to Canada. But would I flee into another bastion of ultra right wing, insensitive childrens hand shaking, Seagrams swilling, Duct tape using, Stargate filming Conservatives?
Oh my!

Re: Ah, \'Issues\'
It was probably hard to top the last scandal so they gotta pump the news up to something, take polls with the typical error margin, interview child psychologists and of course the man in the street interviews over this. Gotta sell those papers and get those ratings.
My kid asked me to give him a high five instead of a hug when he's around his friends. I was a little sad but understood.

Re: Ah, \'Issues\'
This is a serious problem, just follow the reasoning:
1. This clearly shows the Canadian PM is emotionally stunted who doesn't love his children.
2. If he can't even love his own children, how can he love the country?
3. If he doesn't love the country he must hate it.
4. If he hates the country he's a terrorist.
5. The only Canadian terrorist are from Quebec.
6. Thus he's a seperatist Quebecian terrorist working to bring Canada down from the inside.
Thus, using logic, you can prove that this is a deeply serious issue of national interest.

Re: Ah, \'Issues\'
What, you mean you still expect real news from major news media? Especially TV? Its all just sensationalist drivel designed to boost ratings or sell ad space...
