...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

Derangements across the border: Recently, I posted about an American Jew I know who averred that, even if Adolf Hitler was the Democratic candidate for president, said Jew would still vote for the Democrats. (I suggested that, in that case, this gentleman would likely have no problem voting in an entire Nazi slate, including Joe Goebbels for Veep and Adolf Eichmann for Secretary of State.) I think I just heard the Canadian equivalent of this gobsmacking statement. A friend told me about a Canadian Jew she knows--a highly-paid, purportedly intelligent individual--who describes Prime Minister Stephen Harper (you know, the guy who consistently stands up for Israel and has balked at taking part in the international Judenhassfest, Durban II) as--wait for it--"the devil incarnate."

It looks like at least one--and perhaps even both--of these Jews may end up getting the leader they (though not I) deserve.
