“In Canada I think of our P.M. as more of the PR guy for his political party with a few leadership tasks thrown in.”

E.M. Russell:

Even though he recently suspended your legislative body?

Kristin: EM didnt say he wasnt a fucker, or that he doesnt represent a party of evilness ;). He is adding 18 people to the senate to do his bidding, who will get paid 130K a year until they are 75. Great.

^^Talk therapy, that is, and in attempt to find some combination of talk and therapy to treat his particular personality disorders. I’m not talking about torture, lobotomy, aversive therapy or whatever. Punitive, sadistic shit is his thing, not mine.

I was also not particularly serious. It’s not as if he’s ever going to be held accountable or anything.

Well, forced institutionalisation or jail, given that he’s a war criminal and all. It happens often to people who are a danger to themselves or others, and Bush is certainly the latter. And I was thinking more along the lines of medication and therapy than sadistic experimentation.

Perhaps the best solution would be an amendment to your constitution cutting down on the two-month lame duck period? If it takes too long to count votes, use electronic voting with open-source (it must be open source) software to make it go fast. Move Congress’s swearing in to between the election date and the presidential swearing-in so Congress can do their constitutionally required task of selecting the executive if the electoral college can’t. And while you’re at it, ban gerrymandering.
