An Opportunity that Stephen Harper Should Think About ...

Granted, Canada is a mediocre player on the world stage -- and that's being generous -- but at least the Prime Minister knows what to do with himself:

Martin, who will travel to Scotland on Wednesday, spent the last two days in Ireland meeting with Irish leaders.

He wrapped up his visit by slipping behind the bar at a local pub and pouring pints of Guinness Tuesday evening. Patrons at Johnnie Fox's in the mountain village of Glencullen said they were more than happy to accept the free beer, saying it's not every day they're served by a world leader.

Note to Harper: you can always get people to listen to you if you pay for the beer. ;)
