PS about your beef with the green party... i've been thinking about this a lot lately. if you check out their platform you'll see they've got a pretty thorough and well-rounded approach to things. problem is as long as they're called the GREEN party they'll be written off as a bunch of granola crunching tree huggers. i seriously think if they just re-branded themselves with a less enviro-centric name they'd be taken a lot more seriously. i'm going to suggest they go with "taupe party". taupe is beautiful. christ man, i thought you were joking when you said you had a conservative sign on your front lawn! like when i told you i had just accepted the neo-rhino nomination in my riding. but i just google mapped your house and you can see it right there in satellite view next to your salami and prosciutto garden.
