Okay, I've been looking over fringe parties in the Canadian election, and the separatist Western Block Party -- which argues that BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba should split away and form a separate nation.
The leader is one Doug Christie, a lawyer who defends holcaust deniers and other fascists in court. Not surprisingly, he's running in my hometown of Esquimalt-Juan De Fuca. Christie is also a newspaper columnist who writes about homosexuality as a dangerous disease, and goes on about the "gay agenda."
So, looking up his party, I noticed his party's colours: "pale mint green, baby blue, periwinkle, cream, white, pale denim."
Hon, that colour scheme is gayer than the rainbow. Has any straight man ever uttered the word "periwinkle" in describing a colour?
CORRECTION: I seem to have made an error -- Doug Christie is the racist, and his client Doug Collins is the homophobe with the newspaper column.
How did I ever get those two mixed up?

Date: 2006-01-09 06:27 pm (UTC)As for Doug Christie, his racist sympathies are quite well-known. He just hasn't come out and said them. His list of clients is a little too long to be a coincidence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Christie_%28lawyer%29).
But, looking again, I must retract on thing -- the newspaper column. It belonged to Doug Collins, not Doug Christie. Because Christie defended Collins on charges of hate speech, I must have gotten the two mixed up :/
