How much is that liar in the Parliament? The one with the forked tongue.

With an apology to Bob Merrill and Doris Day, you are supposed to sing the title of this entry.

In one of our local rags, the dynamic duo of Parliament Hill, the effervescent Screamer Baird and the ever-huggable Perfect PP. teamed up to call the opposition coalition, a group that had the temerity - the utter gall - to challenge the Cons right to screw up our democracy, as undemocratic.

The coalition, according to PP, will bring in the Green Shift carbon tax and take away the Cons cherished $100 per kid subsidy.  Never mind that the coalition is on record saying that they won't do those things, PP, none-the-less, spews the garbage.   Baird calls the coalition "irresponsible" and "an attack on our democracy".  Time to go back to school Screamer so that you might learn a bit about our form of government in Canada.

If anything was undemocratic, it was that the GG granted the Cons a peroguement of parliament for no other reason that they begged for it, lest they lose their cushy limousines and jets.

The Cons are concerned that the coalition might run a deficit to bail out problem industries in Canada.  Can't do it, says PP.  However in the Citizen, the senior local rag, PPs financial boss, Hon. J Flaherty, says that a $6 billion bailout of the Big 3 automakers can be done.  It will put the government into deficit but it can be done.

What the hell is the difference between the coalition putting us into deficit and the coalition doing it?  Answer please PP and Screamer.
