I wish there was one Canadian politician that was as interesting as Obama. We have to vote on October 14, and what are our choices? Creepy Stephen Harper? Boring Stephane Dion? It's one of the two, 'cause the other three parties don't have a hope. Jack Layton's ambition is making him look spineless and opportunist, the Bloc don't field candidates outside of Quebec, and Elizabeth May, well, bless her. I hope the Green party comes out of this with at least two seats - hers and the guy who crossed the floor to become a Green one week before the election.

But the point is, the eternal choice between Conservatives and Liberals is between a boring-but-creepy guy who makes my flesh crawl and a guy who has all the presence of, like, rice pudding. This is our third federal election in four years, probably because we haven't had anyone interesting to vote for. Any bets on how long it'll take for Justin Trudeau to be courted as a potential party leader?

All I have to say about Heroes is this: it's a far easier show to watch, now that I've given up any kind of critical or emotional attachment to the characters.

But I have to say: I enjoy any scene with Ma Petrelli and Sylar together 'cause they're my two favourites.

Everyone else we see so briefly that it's hardly worth while showing them on screen. Each character's section is so short that it feels like I'm watching a series of ads. Here's Parkman, there's a commercial for toilet paper, there's Hiro, here's Peter, here's an ad for car insurance. I have more investment in the lives of the people selling me frozen dinners. Watching TV with ads in sucks, man.
