I admit I'm a bad blogger. I have had periods where I was pretty prolific, typing away in my own blathery allegedly halfway amusing manner and diligently posting on a semi erratic basis.

My problem is that I get too easily distracted. One minute I'm typing away at the laptop, another minute I glance up, see something shiny and, like a crow, I'm gone. Six weeks later it dawns on me that I should finish that blog I was working on.

Because of this personal difficulty to update on a regular basis I am a great admirer of anyone who manages to blog every day.

This week I am watching with great amusement the newest member of the comedy blog world. It is a hysterical little comedy gem that comes courtesy of the Prime Minister's Office.

The Conservative party of Canada has opened and staffed a website dedicated to bringing Canadians something they like to call "Kyoto's Blog." This blog is a scathing piece of satire that is presented as if it was written by Stephane Dion's dog. Just the premise alone is hysterical. Think about it. Dogs can't write and yet this dog apparently has a blog. Can you imagine how funny it would be to see a dog typing on a computer? I wish I had this idea.

From a show business perspective what is really interesting is that the Prime Minister is making this blog available in both official languages. Now this is cutting edge and very risky because comedy in English generally doesn't translate that well into French, especially this kind. And by "this kind" I mean the "let's make the French look stupid because they are French" kind.

In the official Conservative party's blog, Kyoto the dog likes to quote his "master" Stephane Dion, and of course Dion speaks in broken English. According to the dog, no matter what happens Dion simply says ""You don't know what you speak about!" This is the genius in the comedy. The dumb Frenchie can't speak English! Dion is not a leader because English is his second language and he makes mistakes. I am very curious to see if this will be the blog that breaks through in both English and French Canada.

What's also funny about the blog is that Kyoto says really clever things when he is saying goodbye, like "Time for bed. I'll dream about France. Stéphane tells me we will move back one day."

This is funny because Dion was born in Quebec and has lived most of his life in Canada but his mother is from France. Now this part I admit I didn't get but I think the joke is if you keep telling people in English Canada he is from France they will believe it and apparently this will make him even more unpopular than he already is. There is comedy for you – Stephane Dion is not a leader. His mother is an immigrant! An immigrant's son wants to be Prime Minister! Again while I'm sure this kills inside the Conservative caucus I'm not so sure it will elicit the same guffaws in Quebec but hey I have been wrong before.

Anyway I hope you check it out. I would tell you more but this official Conservative party comedy blog comes with a warning. Not the "may offend some people because the whole point is French people are stupid" kind of warning. No, this being a Stephen Harper joint, the warning says "Thiswebsite is the property of the Conservative Party of Canada and may not be reproduced in whole or in part without express written permission."

So, seeing as I didn't get permission and I quoted a bit of it, if I don't update tomorrow assume I have been arrested and send help.
