Japanese PM Junichiro Koizumi rode a chiseled jaw and superb hair to 85&#38; approval ratings. And every time Harper trots out Rona Ambrose for a photo op, the House of Commons grinds to a halt. Let&#8217;s face it: sex sells. It sells sports [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=candelirium.wordpress.com&amp;blog=369003&amp;post=35&amp;subd=candelirium&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Toronto Star interviewed Michael Ignatieff about his foreign policy objectives for Canada, and as expected, didn&#8217;t shy away from the tough questions. I think Ignatieff can differentiate himself from the other candidates with an intelligent, realistic foreign policy, and he acquitted himself well over the course of the interview. Here are my two favorite excerpts; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=candelirium.wordpress.com&amp;blog=369003&amp;post=33&amp;subd=candelirium&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Conrad, It&#8217;s a shame that the pesky Canadian justice system has decided that your criminal activities warrant a no-holds-barred freeze of your assets.  I hope the US $200,000 (or is it $20,000, as the Globe claims?) per month plus legal fees (for your high power lawyer, Eddie Greenspan) that the court has so grudgingly [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=candelirium.wordpress.com&amp;blog=369003&amp;post=32&amp;subd=candelirium&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Ignatieff has been taking some flak for his meeting with the Toronto Star tabloid editorial board. This is from the Star&#8217;s bizarre recounting of the interview, in which they manage to make both Ignatieff and their own board sound confused and inarticulate: Toronto MP Michael Ignatieff won&#8217;t commit to running in the next election [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=candelirium.wordpress.com&amp;blog=369003&amp;post=31&amp;subd=candelirium&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Endearing as always, loving that trend of supporting horrible dictators (in return for their support for his burgeoning autocracy), President Hugo Chavez has now &#8220;pledged to support Syria in opposition to the US&#8217; &#8216;imperial aggression&#8217; in the Middle East.&#8221; Or so says [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=candelirium.wordpress.com&amp;blog=369003&amp;post=29&amp;subd=candelirium&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

The interview is actually republished from The Paris Review, that venerable litmag manned by George Plimpton until his death a few years ago.
