David Emerson is my MP, as in he ran in my riding and I almost voted for him. This makes his COMPLETE AND UTTERY FUCKWITTERY all the more frustrating for me. He should be dragged out and shot behind the chemical sheds.
Now, this may be coming across as unnecessarily harsh, so I did a little research into the ridings history and since 1963 we've elected but one person from a right wing party. So Mr. Emerson decides to run as a Liberal, which for those unacquainted with the Canadian political system, is roughly equivalent to the American Democrats. However, 2 weeks after getting elected he SWITCHES FUCKING PARTIES. So, he is conveniently a liberal just long enough to get elected in a district that has gone not-right ("left" may be a little too kind to the liberals) for over 20 consecutive years and then switches before he's even moved into his new town. There are being comparisons drawn to other MP's that have done this but frankly I think they're all moot. Past MP's have switched parties because of an irreconcilable difference between their party line and their personal beliefs. This is not the case here as: one, there haven't been any party lines or personal decisions yet, there haven't even been any fucking meetings for any party after the elections; two, David Emerson obviously has no personal beliefs, and is just a tool for political appointments (a juicy one which he received as part of the package for his defection).
Let me explain that last statement. I see two possibilities for his shift, either he planned it before getting elected, or planned it after. If he did it beforehand, then he's merely a lying jackass who deceived his riding to get elected. If he decided after getting elected, he's a fuckwit shill who will change his beliefs for money and power.
He recently complained all over the newspapers that his children were coming home crying after being lectured at school by their peers about his actions. I think there is some truth in this, namely: Children in gradeschool know this guy is a giant fuckwit.
Further proof of this is a recent poll before the election that showed less than 25% of people could identify him. 90% of the riding couldn’t think of a single thing he accomplished in office. When asked David Emerson personally had a 34% approval rating, yet, the liberal party had a 53% approval rating.
So, in summation
FUCKWIT
something totally different

There isn't a lot to this, but the moral of the story is watching more arrested development makes you a better person. I know I'll be pirating these things as soon as they hit the intraweb. If only I owned a TV. I do sincerely miss it.
It's odd, for years it was a matter of pride to me, how cool and intellectual I must be to spend 6 hours a day online instead of watching TV. But really now I'm just feeling tragically out of the loop of various pop culture gems which if I had acess too I would use in an endless string of cunning and cutting references to express how ON THE FUCKING PULSE I am.
