Here in Alberta, politicians are preparing for a provincial election. And the Wildrose Party, led by Danielle Smith, thought it would be a good idea to dress up their campaign bus. All very well and good, except see [this news story](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/wildrose-partys-bust-bus-gaffe-causes-social-media-uproar/article2374405/) for a photo and story of how they chose to do it. Looking good, Ms. Smith! Or is that “Goodyear”? 😛 ---

It’s hard to get the mind out of the gutter when the whole thing is just compounded with the thought of those wheels resembling spinning tassels once they start rolling. ---

Must be nice having tits that are inflatable. Not so nice, though, if they get deflated. ---

> [@a35362](#): > > “Progressive Conservatives”? 😕 It kinda makes sense historically. They were the Conservative Party but changed the name in the 40’s to get John Bracken [John Bracken - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bracken) to join/lead the federal party. ---

It just sounds like when American conservatives were calling themselves “compassionate conservatives” – it does nothing but point out that _regular_ conservatives are, uh, not all that compassionate. ---
