Q: How many members of the Harper government did it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: Ten...

1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed.

2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed.

3. One to blame Paul Martin for burning out the light bulb.

4. One to tell Canadians that they are either "for" changing the light bulb or "for" darkness.

5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Onyx for the new light bulb.

6. One to arrange a photograph of Harper, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: "Light Bulb Change Accomplished".

7. One government insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Harper was literally in the dark.

8. One to viciously smear #7.

9. One surrogate to produce an Economic Action Plan ad on how Stephen Harper has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along.

10. One to confuse Canadians about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.
