I’m about 30 folks away from having 5,000 friends.  Once I reach that point, I will (a) burst into flame and descend into the Ninth Circle of Hell or (b) be prevented from taking any more friends.

But in case Hell is not my destination, make yours my fan page! It’s just like the Facebook page, but better!

And, yes, I know each and every one of them.  We could not be more close.

From this morning’s Hill Times:

I’m not a fan of either of them – they both worked for this guy, in one way or another – but I found the above snippet particularly hilarious. Kudos to Kate Malloy for giving the planet a morning smile.

Is Bob Rae the Moses of Canadian politics?

Moses, as you may recall, is a figure from religious history. According to both the Hebrew Bible and the Qur’an, Moses was a prophet who spoke to God, and went on to lead the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt.

After 40 years of wandering around in the desert, he died at age 120, within sight of the Promised Land. He’s the guy credited with receiving the Ten Commandments.

Rae, as you may also know, is a figure from political history.

I was talking to my sons the other day about dying, but they didn’t want to talk about dying.  I told them I was an Irish Catholic, and I couldn’t help it.  I told them I missed my Dad, and wanted to talk about him, and hoped that they would talk about me after I’m gone.

Fathers, sons, punk songs.  If you have been in punk bands as long as I have, you would know that every great anthemic punk song sounds perfect on an acoustic (most of my ham-fisted attempts at songwriting start on one).  So, this perfect punk song about fathers and sons and everything else.

Girls, watch your guy when this one is playing.  He’ll get quiet.

This is an extraordinary graph, one that tells quite a story.

Quote:

Crown attorney Richard Roy replied “these are serious violations of the act,” and the party’s guilty plea was an admission that its scheme was “illegal.”

In the future, whenever a Con raises the sponsorship mess – in which the Liberal Party was never found to have broken any law, by the by – throw this back in their face.

Your party broke the law, your party received the maximum penalty, your party was found to be corrupt.

Your party.

UPDATE: Regular Conservative commentator Gord Tulk is attempting to minimize these guilty pleas and sentences by suggesting sponsorship was worse. Here’s what I wrote, and still feel, about sponsorship.

Moral: don’t support conservatives.  They’re dumber than liberals.
