Harper's ideology now presented with "acceptable casualties" ...

Shorter Lisa Raitt

The deaths of 47 people, the devastation of an entire Canadian community and the subsequent years of horrendous nightmares are acceptable collateral damage in the Harper Conservative war on reality. No amount of losses or devastated lives can prevent us from moving forward with our dangerous and seriously flawed ideology.

This may be just as "sexy" as Raitt's drooling over people dying of cancer because of a radioisotope shortage perpetrated by the Harper government. 

Since Raitt likes sexy issues involving people being killed, she can wear this one.

The Tea Party in mufti

Honest. It's what George W. Bush apologists are wearing these days.

A Republican congressional candidate from Ohio, countering criticism from a House GOP leader, said he did nothing wrong by wearing a Nazi uniform while participating in World War II re-enactments.

Yeah, it's one politically astute move. I would ask, "What are these people thinking?" But then I would realize that for morons such as Rich Iott, that's a question too far.
You must now go off and read Driftglass.
