    I really didn't want to do this, but what the heck:

    *adopt angry conservative guy stance* "Hey Wherry! No POLICY ALERT for the Conservatives EI break for small businesses that hire new employees. I knew you were a Liberal hack and that this rag mag hated the blue door (except for that Potter guy, he's awesome!)"

    I do like the health care ad. They even made Harper look a little more life-like than usual.

    In order to help Canadian voters make an intelligent informed choice when they cast their ballots in the upcoming election, would NDP Leader Jack Layton please inform us as to the true state of his health ?
    Specifically, will he please tell us the reason he recently underwent surgery for a hip fracture ?
    Was the fracture the result of an injury – perhaps a fall, for example? Or was the fracture the result of something more sinister and serious such as the spread of his prostate cancer to his hip bone?

      I believe it resulted when aliens tried to abduct Layton but the tractor beam failed and the fracture resulted from that fall. He should have been wearing a tin foil hat like you so the aliens couldn't have found him in the first place.

    What bugs me about Jack and his "big, bad corporations lets tax the cr@p out of them", is that many of these very same corporations make big donations to hospitals.

    "In 2006, he announced a donation of $37-million to Toronto General Hospital, for support of the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre."

    Ok, I am a little surprised … but I actually don't hate these ads and was all prepared to … at least Jack is looking a lot better … and they sure beat the battle of the super sneerers in the Lib/Con attack ads – though the Con ads win that battle … where did they find that guy …that voice gives me the creeps …

    Though Mr. Wherry, I think your tweet about this was a little misleading …
