Ignoring the effect his appearance has on me, who really is Jack Layton?

Lets start at the most convenient source;his propaganda laden NDP website.

Oh he’s leaning to the left. How subtle.


I wonder if he knows that the left hand is the popular representation of the side and sign of the devil?

Probably not.

But apparently other cultures do and are far more intuned with the sinisterness of this dirty direction.

“The left side is often associated with awkwardness and clumsiness. The Dutch expression "twee linkerhanden hebben" and the Bulgarian expression "dve levi ratse" ("to have two left hands") both mean being clumsy. The English phrase, to have "two left feet" means to be bad at dancing. As these are all very old words/phrases, they support theories indicating that the predominance of right-handedness is an extremely old phenomenon.

In ancient China, the left has been the "bad" side. The adjective "left" (左 Mandarin: zuǒ) means "improper" or "out of accord". For instance, the phrase "left path" (左道 Mandarin: zuǒdao) stands for illegal or immoral means.”

Oh jeez.

Psst, Jacky boy. For the love of god and country, STRAIGHTEN UP THAT POSE!

*G-ranical waits...*

Damnit! Too late.

“Amongst Muslims, and in some societies including India, it is customary to use the left hand for cleaning oneself with water after defecating.”

Oh Jesus Christ!

Or should I say Oh Muhammad.

Well I think we can assume that you’ve lost that subsection of voters completely now, can't we? No one wants to vote for the poop hand side. I know I don’t.

“Layton and the New Democrat caucus have dragged the agenda back to the issues that matter to everyday Canadians. And even the jaded media are noticing."

Oh no! I feel so emo.

Is Jack talking about me? Has my disillusionment with the BC NDP fiscal irresponsibility and corruption deadened my soul to the Federal Orange and Green warriors?

Or is it my disgust with the power hungry, egotistical, emotionally retarded teachers I’ve encountered in my small time university experience that has blackened my heart to his famous Layton sneer?

“Outside politics, Layton has been Chair of the Toronto Board of Health, a university professor...”http://www.ndp.ca/jacklayton

Yup definitely the school angle.

I just get the feeling that the “Professor” is talking down to me as a Canadian like he has done during his teaching career. Another problem I have is the fact that this man spent so much of his life in school. School is like this nether-zone of a dictatorial unreality where ego’s grow rampant amongst self centered and pompous individuals who have never really entertained a life where real work is done for a monetary exchange. It’s a place where people have gone from students to boss in a strange and inappropriate jump found only in the education system and some parts of my imagination.
