I have a fantasy image of exploding wingtard heads when we go from a president named Hussein to a Veep named Castro.

Listen gang, Justin coulda been as yummy as a toad and we would still be happy to have him. It took us three damn elections to scrape his predecessor off our shoe, whose list of insults to the nation is fully as long as several arms, in eight point type yet. www.pressprogress.ca/101_sc...

I had a terrible case of Trudeaumania for Justin's father, but he was a shit husband, 30 years older than she was, and he really didn't treat her very well. Also, as you mentioned, she was seriously mentally ill, and undiagnosed. He was an aloof intellectual. I love Margaret. She is a survivor. She was and is an incredibly beautiful woman.

He was an aloof French Catholic intellectual - student of Jesuits, Benedictines, and Dominicans. She was an incredibly beautiful free spirit who became increasingly ill during their marriage. She and Justin are both survivors. I didn't vote for him, but I wish him well - and Maggie, too.
