Here&#8217;s me with a handsome, barrel-chested moustachioed man I met at the Pride Parade.
Also of political note: George Smitherman&#8217;s campaign booth was surrounded by dancing drag queens, and Rocco Rossi&#8217;s booth was flanked by booths who hate Rocco Rossi (the Toronto Gay Hockey League, I believe), and who put up their own George Smitherman signs [...]]]></description>

<p style="text-align: left;">Also of political note: George Smitherman&#8217;s campaign booth was surrounded by dancing drag queens, and Rocco Rossi&#8217;s booth was flanked by booths who hate Rocco Rossi (the Toronto Gay Hockey League, I believe), and who put up their own George Smitherman signs just to spite the Rossi supporters.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Of non-political note: I was invited to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear_%28gay_culture%29">bear</a> event called the Beef Ball. I politely declined the invite.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s how easy it would be to <a href="http://maplerag.com/2009/12/the-lpc-presents-the-worlds-worst-photoshop-challenge/">win this contest</a>, or at least aim for #3, so you can get that <a href="http://www.liberal.ca/en/newsroom/blog/17039_introducing-the-stephen-harper-emanywhere-but-copenhagenem-photo-challenge">SWEET, SWEET COAL</a> to burn. It&#8217;ll come in handy when your suburban McMansion gets foreclosed on, and you&#8217;ll need something to burn to keep warm on the streets this winter!</p>
<p>Two main themes emerged in the competition: veiled homophobia and semi-topical celebrity topics! With that in mind, we made two of our own images which would win the competition, had we entered them:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_350" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-350 " title="harpertub" src="http://maplerag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/harpertub.jpg" alt="You don't want to know the search terms I had to use to get the original image." width="400" height="250" /><p class="wp-caption-text">You don&#39;t want to know the search terms I had to use to get the original image.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_351" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-351 " title="harper2" src="http://maplerag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/harper2.jpg" alt="GET IT IT'S BASED OFF A TV SHOW, BUT STEPHEN HARPER ISN'T IN THAT TV SHOW, I ADDED HIM WITH PHOTOSHOP, GET IT" width="400" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">GET IT IT&#39;S BASED OFF A TV SHOW, BUT STEPHEN HARPER ISN&#39;T IN THAT TV SHOW, I ADDED HIM WITH PHOTOSHOP, GET IT</p></div>
<p>You can submit these on your own behalf if you want, and then CLAIM THE COAL AS YOUR OWN IF YOU WIN IT, it&#8217;s my War On Christmas present to you!</p>
