Altogether vanity

"Prime Minister Stephen Harper is launching an advertising campaign of his own to counter Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams's recent attack ads.... As well, the ad contains the claim that the province has "been blessed and stayed blessed in this budget."
- CBC News Online

Saint Stephen, eh? Maybe the Prime Minister should remember what happened to his hagiographic namesake. This sort of smarmy, patronising sanctimony would, if I were a Newfoundlander, make me sick to my indomitable stomach.
