A Canadian Alliance MP, Larry Spencer, just said some extremely stupid things about homosexuality. This should come as no surprise whatsoever. The Alliance has a long and colourful history of homophobia and intolerance, going right back to the Bad Old Days of Stockwell Day, a long and extensive list of whose pronouncements--sourced, even!--you can find right about here.
The interesting thing about the Canadian Press story on Spencer is the encyclopaedic attention to detail, while adumbrating Spencer's offensive remarks. They were quite thorough. I admire that.
And it just gets wackier.
Spencer is officially the Canadian Santorum. But whereas in the US the only consequences for our Santorum so far have been the association of his name with the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter which is sometimes the by-product of anal sex, the Canadians sacked theirs. Perhaps it was unimaginative of them, but one can't help but find their solution ultimately more satisfying...
Shitfoam comes, and shitfoam goes, but a good sacking is forever.

Ahh.. Santorum brings back memories of grade school.. All the teachers loved me.
