On the parlous state of the prime ministerial belfry: batty, or what? [View all]

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has got a national election looming; he's none too popular in certain essential parts of the country and not quite popular enough just now in others; Disgraced Canadian Senator Mike Duffy is facing a criminal trial and apparently wants the PM on the witness stand; it's attracting public notice that his government uses tax policy as an ideological bludgeon; and the economy is easing toward the crapper everywhere except out here in Alberta, where our disproportionate economic success depends on laying waste to the environment.

So it should be easy for everyone to understand why he might call up the Globe and Mail and ask for space for a little heart-to-heart with the nation.

And what does he want to talk about? Vladimir Putin?

I'm not making this up, people! Click here and read it for yourself. The world's problems? They're all caused by Putin! Who knew?
