The most shocking thing about this now famous video of Stepehn Harper singing The Beatles ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6n-QzjzkUw ) is not Harper's pallid, zombie-like skin, or his robotic movements and expression, the most shocking thing about it, is that it has actually boosted his popularity in the polls. This is so sad.What is wrong with Canadians? Are we really so easily fooled by a little peach colored lipstick, a sweater vest, a kitten, a weak rendition of a pop song? Do you think The Beatles wrote that song so that grey-faced prime ministers could sing it and look less like evil robots in the eyes of the voting public? No, they did not. No Beatle, not even that jerk Paul McCartney would vote for Stephen Harper. Futhermore, under Harper's reign, such a song would never have been written. The Beatles would have been too busy trying to get by on their two or three minimum wage jobs and desperately plying for what's left of meager Arts grants to write any songs about peace and love or getting high with friends.
