About Alberta

[Insidious Von]

My opinion of Alberta, and to a lesser extent papasmerf, has been thrown for a loop.

For all you non-Canadians, Alberta is the bastion of Canadian Conservatism. The Conservative Party has governed the Province in perpetuity for almost fifty years. Dick Cheney has made several trips to the Province without any sign of protest.

Recently I started a thread about the gorgeous Anne Hathaway (my sig pic). Papasmerf posted that if I wanted to appreciate her thespian talents I should watch Brokeback Mountain. The scenes of male love made me uncomfortable and I figured that Smerfdaddy was playing a joke on me. I noticed that Brokeback Mountain looked suspiciously like Lake Louise so I watched the film into the credits. Sure enough not only was the movie shot in Alberta; the production company got a grant from The Alberta Arts Council to get the movie made.

Has hell just frozen over?

No, hell hasn't frozen over. Remember Mark Foley and Larry Craig?

Conservatives are closet fudge packers.

Don't forget Ted Haggard, he had Dubya's number right after his meth dealing gay prostitutes in his cell phone favourites.

Didn't Brad Pitt shoot his Jesse James movie in Alberta as well?

Dick Cheney is the man. Albertans are all making money and who the hell cares who visits as long as the money keeps coming in.

Did you miss the billion dollar deficit announcement?

Yeah, I think he missed a few things. Like how things aren't so good in Alberta when oil is $35 a barrell.

He must anticipate oil making a comeback BIGTIME as DICK may mutter on occasion...
