Layton’s got my vote back

Like I promised. But I’m warning him… Bang, Zip! Straight to the moon, Jack!
Actually, the election outcome was pretty much what I figured it was going to be. What I wasn’t expecting was Martin’s resignation. If a party leader resigned every time they lost a vote, well, Harper would have been fired three times already.
In any case, I’m willing to see where this goes. The absolute worst case scenario is that Harper implements a bunch of good stuff, and then gets re-elected to a majority government.
Actually, a worse case would be something like: Belinda Stronach turns out to be a clever plant by the Conservatives, whose “defection” was just enough to form a crippled Liberal government, so that more scandals could be uncovered, and the government toppled. This, in turn, would force the resignation of leader, Paul Martin, and the rise of Belinda Stronach as the new leader. Her first act as leader is to disband the Liberal party and defect back to the now all-powerful Neo-Conservative party. Heil Harper. Oh, just kidding, folks. Geez.
So, as I was saying … the current government is fine. We’ll see how it plays out. Hope to god I don’t have to say “I told you so…”

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
