eikonosqu1j0t3: an A Coyne article you may actually enjoy.. note that the best bit is the last three (?) paragraphs; the beginning is a gentle setup http://o.canada.com/2013/05/10/conservatives-reputation-as-the-nasty-party-is-well-deserved/May 12 00:10

roy_"May 12 00:17
roy_Let me venture to suggest this is not accidental. If today both Harper and the party he leads are actively disliked by more than seven voters in 10, it may be because they have gone out of their way to alienate them in every conceivable way — not by their policies, or even their record, but simply by their style of governing, as over-bearing as it is under-handed, and that on a good day.May 12 00:17
roy_When they are not refusing to disclose what they are doing, they are giving out false information; when they allow dissenting opinions to be voiced, they smear them as unpatriotic or worse; when they open their own mouths to speak, it is to read the same moronic talking points over and over, however these may conflict with the facts, common courtesy, or their own most solemn promises.May 12 00:17
roy_Secretive, controlling, manipulative, crude, autocratic, vicious, unprincipled, untrustworthy, paranoid … Even by the standards of Canadian politics, it’s quite the performance. We’ve had some thuggish or dishonest governments in the past, even some corrupt ones, but never one quite so determined to arouse the public’s hostility, to so little apparent purpose. Their policy legacy may prove short-livedMay 12 00:17
roy_ but it will be hard to erase the stamp of the Nasty Party.May 12 00:17
roy_Perhaps, in their self-delusion, the Tories imagine this is all the fault of the Ottawa media, or the unavoidable cost of governing as Conservatives in a Liberal country. I can assure them it is not. The odium in which they are now held is well-earned, and entirely self-inflicted.May 12 00:17
roy_"May 12 00:17
roy_Same situation in other countries I can think ofMay 12 00:17
roy_could rewrite this to apply to those countries by just subtituting the names/brandsMay 12 00:18

qu1j0t3  "IT IS always fun to watch the mighty fall. It is even better when they try to break their fall with corporate waffle. This week Microsoft said it was rethinking “key aspects” of its new operating system, Windows 8. But then it began to obfuscate. A Microsoft executive insisted that “customer satisfaction” with the new offering “is strong” while also conceding that “the learningMay 12 06:41
