In today’s Sun: don’t worry, be happy
They’ve got a new editor, and new look and new approach. Check it out.
She’s a kid, for Pete’s sakes. A kid.
I led a student protest on Parliament Hill, many years ago – against a Liberal government, no less – and I probably said some things that were over-the-top, too (actually, now that I think of it, I haven’t really stopped in the intervening years).
For all these columnist guys who have been bashing/tut-tutting Brigette DePape for the past few days, I ask you: if the rest of us were permitted to poke through your high school-university yearbooks, poetry and poli sci essays, what gems would we unearth?
Exactly.
Didn’t see some of these over the weekend. Here they are, as a public service:
If we’d been in government, Rocco’s penchant for disclosing secrets to a foreign power might have landed him in court. When you are a government employee, there’s a name for that kind of duplicity. It’s called “treason.” But because we weren’t the government, Rocco’s secret briefings with the Americans can only be legally categorized as “dishonest” and “sleazy.”

It’s funny. I was talking to a certain, er, very successful Liberal politician yesterday and we touched on this very subject. “They’re a bunch of babies,” said he. “They’ve never been able to take a punch without crying about it.”
Well, get ready, Dippers. You’re in the big leagues, now. Comes with the territory. At least the Reformatories can take a punch.
Thus, check this out in the LFP: I mean, I was just having fun!
Wait’ll this sucky sucky socialist baby sees me when I’m actually mad:
Spotted by the always-vigilant Paul. You need to read all of this. And, yes, we noticed. Hudak has not explicitly renounced the funding of private religious schools, even though Ontarians have. I rather suspect this is going to come again today, because more and more people are noticing, too. Over to Paul:
