And we were hoping this guy is pro-life

This is a real shock! Those senators on the Judiciary Committee should definitely clear this up before they decide whether to confirm Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's interrogation bloviating grandstanding mind-games pomposities session.

This originated at Purdue University student newspaper The Exponent, which is apparently edited by no one in particular.

I saw it at On The Other Foot.

My Liberal Party campaign ad

Here's my script for one of those American-style Liberal attack ads.

Stephen Harper says a Conservative minority government would be stable.

You know who else ran a stable minority government?

Hitler.

Adolph Hitler became Chancellor of Germany after winning only 36% of the votes.

Look what happened after that.

Does Stephen Harper have a hidden agenda to turn Canada into a Nazi dictatorship?

We don't know.

He isn't saying.

Choose your Canada.

Damian Penny has more, and funnier, Liberal campaign ads, with still more in the comments. I got the picture idea from Kate at small dead animals, but hers looks better than mine.

Mohammed’s Believe It or Else!

It's a full-colour 26-page comic book on the life and teachings of Mohammed, complete with a snappy theme song. Check it out!

This kind of thing can get you into big trouble in a lot of countries, even Denmark, so download the comic before the cartoonist is arrested–or knifed in the street.
