Before I get to anything else, there’s this aside:

In my line of work, I have a tendency to focus on international news and forget about what’s going on in my own native Canada (all tucked away down there). So I asked a friend of mine, who voluntarily follows Canadian politics, to explain to me the political minefield that is the proposed “coalition” government. His response:

“I am like a kid in a candy store! Not only is Christmas on the doorstep, but now [there's a] heavy constitutional debate in Ottawa – Hot Damn!”

That’s a little more enthusiasm than I am generally used to, but at least someone is happy. The only politician I am more passively embarrassed to proclaim as my Prime Minister than Stephen Harper is this man:

Lordy, lordy, lordy.

On somewhat of a similar note, check the link posted immediately below. It’s a little dated (USA’s November Election), but still relevant given the election turmoil we’re going through in Canadiana. Plus, it’s good for a laugh at my expense.

Link to Video. (A tip of the hat to Lola).
By the way, does anyone know how the interactive video works? I mean, how do they place manipulable text into the video?

Now that we’ve established my status as the motherf*cking, c*cks*cking, lazy f*ck that cost the world everything, it’s time for a Non Sequitur. Or, as the Pythons would have it: “and now for something completely different…”

No, it’s not a man with three buttocks. It is, as my friend R-Shizzle put it, the Daniel M’Mburugu of badgers.

The Honey Badger

Proclaimed by the Guinness Book of World Records to be the most fearless animal in the world:

“The honey badger is among the fiercest hunters … with prey including earthworms, termites, scorpions, porcupines, hares, and even larger prey such as tortoises, crocodiles [CROCODILES!] up to one metre in size, and snakes (including pythons and venomous species). Its ferocious reputation extends to attacks on animals much larger than itself.” (Wikipedia)

To prove it, here is a video of the Honey Badger in action:

Mother of Pearl! Not only does the badger attack a hive of bees while shrugging off their stings – but it gets attacked by a snake, kills it, passes out, then gets back up to finish the job. My proposed Daniel M’Mburugu – Vin Diesel – Honey Badger coalition government is looking pretty kick ass.
