"And what of the other crowd? What of partisan architecture's wildest students, the Frank Lloyd Blights of Parliament Hill [ed. note: meme FAIL], Stephane Dion, Gilles Duceppe and Jack Layton, engineers of the coalition? If you'd asked these three to design an elevator, they'd deliver Stonehenge.
Was ever such a cobbled construction seriously proposed to be the government of a serious country?"
"Separatist and federalist, NDP activists and retired bank managers. A deposed leader on the way out who is a prime minister on the way in. Green shifters and auto-industry saviours. Matter, meet anti-matter. Wet, meet dry. Sense, meet non. Welcome to the coalition -- we're a government!"
I have to go take some Gravol now.
One cobbled construction will be sent to Mister Murphy, in honour of his own.
What makes this really embarrassing is that Margaret Wente has written exactly the same column next door, only in English.
Shorter Wente: Stephen Harper is a bad man. But Stephane Dion looks silly on teevee! Oh noes, what to do??

I'm with you on that first paragraph; it's unintelligible. But I quite like the second -- at least for style. Those are pleasant juxtapositions, and he invites us to revel in the absurdity of such a coalition. That said, I don't know anything about the reality it purports to describe.
