Canadian Conspiracy to Keep Barack Obama from Blair House? Indecision Exclusive!

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy


It's a longstanding tradition for presidents-elect to move into Blair House, a mansion across the street from the White House, five days before the inauguration.

This year a minor scandal ensued when Barack Obama asked to move in a few weeks early to accommodate his daughters' school schedule. "Uh, no," said the Bush administration, citing "guests" who were "booked" at the mansion in January. Awkward! So Obama and his family have been relegated to some cheap motel called the Hay-Adams, where they are living on Toblerone and seltzer from the mini-fridge.

Today the mystery Blair House guest was revealed: it's Australian Prime Minister John Howard. Call me Bob Woodwardette, but I smell a conspiracy.

Let's review what we know...

* This fall reports surfaced that Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper stole a speech about Iraq... from Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

* Then Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper went rogue and shut down his government.

* Now all of a sudden Australian Prime Minister John Howard is occupying the president-elect's residence.

* And on Monday a mysterious maple syrup odor blanketed New York City.

There you have it! This thing goes deep. Real deep. And remember, if the mainstream media outlets overlook this bombshell, it's because they've been infiltrated by the Canadians.

It's been known to happen. They're stealthy and they look just like us.

Eh, Canada: Stephen Harper Shuts Down Parliament, Merde Hits the Fan

POSTED BY: Mary Phillips-Sandy

We've been so busy watching Barack Obama's press conferences to announce secretaries of stuff, we're just getting to this now: Canada's government is in pandemonium! What the hell is happening up there?

Here's what we know. In October's wacky House of Commons election, Prime Minister Stephen "Bobblehead" Harper's Conservatives won more seats than any other party -- but not enough to secure a majority. Opposition disgruntlement ensued, and last week, Harper announced a bobbleheaded budget that set off a full-scale political crisis...

Harper introduced an economic plan that included no stimulus measures but called for a three-year ban on strikes by civil servants and the abolition of public financing for political parties. The Liberal party leader, Stéphane Dion, accusing Harper of seeking to politicise the economic crisis, formed a coalition with the leftwing New Democratic party. The two also secured support from the separatist Bloc Québécois to bring down the government.

Facing the risk of being, I don't know, extradited to Nunavut, Harper pulled out the big guns: yesterday he talked the Governor General, the Queen's representative in Canada, into letting him shut down Parliament until the end of January (!).

Plus! Just for good measure, the opposition coalition is now fighting with itself.

Good grief. And I thought the hockey games were vicious.
