Mike Harris, the miserable son-of-a-bitch who, as Premier of Ontario, has presided over the systematic dismantling of its world-beating social services network, the sinister rejigging of its electoral districts, and the shoddy privatization of its government offices (privatized health inspectors missed the e-coli outbreak in the water supply in Walkerton, and several died), is resigning in a huff, terrified by poll and by-election results that indicate that Ontarians are ready to steamroller him come election time. Bye, bye, Iron Mike. Hope you get hit by a bus. Yes, this is schadenfreude. He is pond scum. Which of us is worse? Link Discuss (via Exciting Monkeybum Stories for Boys and Girls)
