Political Buzz Words To Stand By

You can take these popular phrases uttered by North American political leaders to the bank - excuse the pun given the situation financial institutions are in these days.

"Our leader has the "vision" to..." With or without the mushrooms? You need drugs to consider the NDP given how much they want to come in and sit and eat at your kitchen table - literally. Newsflash: if your leader claims to have ESP...run.

" We need "change." A key to the Obama Orient Express. Generally asserted one week into a government's rule. We all know he's going (assuming he gets elected) to change squat. The Republic is under the spell of the Imperial forces now!

Needing and wanting change is all relative.

"Our party has a "plan." No doubt a "plan" is one that has been in place for years but THIS is the year "they" will implement it. A favorite with Stephane Dion and the Liberals. Clearly, 13 years wasn't enough for them to implement their previous plan called the "Red Book."

-On a side note, did I hear right? Did I hear Senator John McCain address Obama as "that one?" Who does he think he is? Rickey Henderson?

Ok. I admit. Only sports junkies will get that reference. Henderson was notoriously narcissistic and known to not recall the names of his team mates.

Regardless, one concern people have with McCain is his mental state. They're worried that he'll go "Principal Skinner" on the job with Vietnam flashbacks.

Seriously Senator. Be a little more careful.
