ELIZABETH MAY: Ooh oh - I know this one: Something to do with the colour green. That's right. Wasn't she in Anne of Green Gables? "Oh Elizabeth May, I do believe that your frock is on backwards, which is not the impression of civility one wants to make in Cape Breton." (or something like that). This is important, because I can't remember if she was one of the nice ones in the show, or the girl who was basically a real bitch. That would make a big difference in whether I'd support her or not. Anyway, I'm a big fan of historical dramas which is great because at least someone will talk like they're from a Jane Austen movie during the national debate.
So what do you think of the Green Party candidate?

Y'know: I appreciate this is a (pretty weak) attempt at humour, but given the importance of science to politics these days (not to mention the stakes for science funding and the environment in upcoming elections in Canada and the U.S.), lampooning scientists as not having any political sense is in really poor taste. Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I don't find this particularly funny. It's not even very clever...
Lampooning science and politics is in poor taste? Really?
I can take the fact that this isn't necessarily a good attempt at humour, but to suggest that there are limits for what humour can or cannot attempt to tackle - and then to say that a particular limit includes the combination of scientists and politics? That is curmudgeony indeed.
