Did you catch any photos of Action Figure Stephen Harper dressed up in his helicopter suit? It may remind you of a former Resident of the White House. It reminds me of Rick Mercer. And you know how I feel about Rick.

The photos are here, numbers 17, 18 and 19. Click at your own risk.

You've got to hand it to those PR types in the PMO, eh? From Stephen Harper's cuddly blue sweater in the last election campaign to his jet-jockey outfit on your front page - all that's missing, à la George Bush, is the aircraft carrier and the banner Mission Accomplished.

Wow, what a shot of our Prime Minister in flight helmet, goggles and vest (In The North, On The Hustings - front page, Aug. 20)! He's certainly ready to take on our northern invaders. All he needs now is a few shots of him riding bare-chested on a horse and he'll really be ready to take on Vladimir Putin.
