One and the Same
Nevermind what I said in my last entry about not writing about politics and the world...I have something to say.
I was just reading my friend Dave's latest blog entry titled "I'm Just a Reporter", which discusses the PMPM (Prime Minister Paul Martin) and how we (meaning YOU Canadians because I, obviously, can't vote anything in this country) should vote NDP because J.L. (Jack Layton) would have been more considerate than PMPM and would have given Dave tips on mustache grooming. Anyhow, since we're talking about J.L. I will take the opportunity to point out a disturbing fact that I noticed when I first came to the True North Strong and Free....
JACK LAYTON IS THE VIDEO PROFESSOR.
I offer you visual proof:
TRY MY PARTY!

Oh my...I just noticed that their ties even match. It's just further proof.

As a pseudo/faux political scientist I contend that had Mr. J.L. done the following he would have received a much greater portion of the vote in the last election (or will receive in the coming election):
1) Utilizing the awesome persuasive power of the Video Professor, J.L. should have had the VidProf. do his campaign adds …. i.e. “vote NDP and I will send you a free copy of my product and if you’re not totally satisfied with the result return the Liberals to Parliament at no cost to you.”
2) J.L. should have employed a good cop / bad cop approach in the televised debates. VidProf. to Harper as good cop … “so you plan to infuse Canadian politics with right-wing moralizing and restrictive social policy?” … then J.L. as bad cop … “admit it Harper it’s all a sham, you plan to criminalize abortion, create internment camps for the newly gay married, and sell our sovereignty to the US for top dollar!!” Since this approach always works on Law and Order, Harper would then break down, admit it is all true, and burst into flames revealing himself as the devil. A similar tactic would also work for Mr. Martin and Mr. Duceppe, whom in a burst of flames would reveal themselves as a limp grayish sausage and sharp eyed fleur-de-lys, respectively.
3) Using the VidProf. to, shall we say, float a ‘trial balloon’, J.L. could have forced the VidProf. to shave off the mustache and then conduct small scale public opinion surveys asking “which J.L. would you rather vote for – mustachioed or not-mustachioed?”
Of course, as a pseudo/faux political scientist these views are based on objective analysis, containing no political or ideological slant, and should within 50 words bore any reader to death.
Mustachioed. What a funny word.

Oh my God, that's disturbing. And you're both very right. Actually, I talked to my man Layton about this when he was drunk at Louis' last year, mentioning the striking resemblance between him and this vidprof. He said he gets it all the time. The he went on stage and wowed everyone with his piano playing. I stared, wide-eyed.

Clearly a clever strategy by the NDP albeit an unsuccessful one. They were feeding off the unmistakable likeness of said video professor. Otherwise, Layton would have muttonchops. I'm sure of it.
