Stupid Political Tricks

Two contenders for the Republican Party's nomination for US President--Senators Lindsey Graham and Rand Paul--have posted videos showing themselves in action. Senator Graham is shown crushing, juicing and toasting his cell phone (after the Donald revealed its number) and Senator Paul may be seen burning and otherwise trashing, with wood chopper and chain saw, the US tax code. David Letterman, where are you when we need you?

Meanwhile, on our home and native turf, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has declared he will appoint no new Senators, allowing the current residents of the Red Chamber to age, wither, and fall comatose in their well-upholstered chairs. This is a great departure from PM Steve's record appointment of fifty-nine senators, when the rallying cry was "Buy my CD and win a seat in the Senate!"

Finally, born again Liberal Eve Adams failed to win her Toronto riding's nomination to run for Parliament against Joe Oliver in the upcoming October election. "Gee," said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau, "I'm shocked. I thought after her work in 'American Hustle' the nomination would be a walk-in for Eve Adams."

Liberal aide: "That was Amy Adams, Mr. Trudeau."

Trudeau: "Oh. Well, can we get her to run for us?"
