Sulphuring Succotash!

Federal Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, traveling the country in checked shirt, blue jeans and red baseball cap (with an opening at the back allowing a crop of hair to puff out, a la Woody Woodpecker) startled a Calgary audience by saying of Prime Minister Stephen Harper "Canadians can smell the whiff of sulphur coming off this guy."

A spokesman for the PM said "What our Liberal friend is referring to is simply Prime Minister Harper's new cologne:  Prince of Darkness."  The cologne, he explained, was a gift from Peter Mackay--"something left over that he got from Belinda." 

The Prime Minister was asked if the cologne might, in fact, have had a supernatural effect upon him.  "Certainly not," he said.  Then he sat down at the piano and played his new medley: "Witchcraft," "That Old Black Magic," "Love Potion #9" and "Devil-may-care."
