To hell with Christy Clark

As I commented here, Ms. Clark's strategy during the debate last night, whenever she was confronted with a question she could not, or did not want to, answer, seemed to have been to deflect it and return to a variant of her catchphrase, "grow the economy, not the government." Presumably this means selling off public resources to friends and cronies, further dismantling public education, busting unions, and sucking up to people richer than her (since they're the only ones that actually matter). Her blank eyed, blank-faced vacuity as she mouthed her pet phrase really seemed to speak volumes about her contempt for the people of British Columbia (to say nothing of her continual assertion that somehow her government has been good for the economy; it's certainly not my impression of things! But then, I have a few friends in the film industry...). To tell the truth, I kinda wish Joey Shithead had dedicated a performance of "Rich Bitch" to Ms. Clark during DOA's farewell show, though I can understand why he didn't...

Ah, well. I'm no great fan of Adrian Dix but I'd rather a bland populist to a vicious, dishonest neocon any day...
