I really didn't want a political blog...

I wanted a nice, fun blog where I could talk writing, books, authors, archeology and other neat science stuff, , how my latest book is coming, what workshops I'm running, how the editing process is going on Small Magics, and occasionally comment on current affairs.

But come on, Stephen. What are you thinking?

• You whine about the press not liking you.
• You grandstand on Afghanistan and actually use the phrase "staying the course."
• Your accountability act actually reduces accountability and would remove from the ethics code a clause that says politicians are required to "act with honesty."
• You've cancelled the one-tonne challenge, and 14 other environmental programs.
• You're you're looking for a way to weasel out of the Kyoto accord.

What are you? George Bush's Canadian lickspittle?

There is so much more to say, but I've wasted one evening on this already, so I'll make it short:

Stop doing stupid stuff so I can get on with my editing.

Anyway, my next post will be about the fun I'm having editing Small Magics, which will be on shelves in 2007. It has nothing to do with Canadian politics, and is a very good read. Click here for a preview, then rush out and order it so my publisher will like me.
