The latest from the Irene front
Heading West on I-90. Dozens of power line trucks and National Guard humvees heading the other way.
Introducing the Treweather Report!
Hurricane Irene
This weekend, we are supposed to be right around where it’ll be hitting. Query: is it for real, or more US-style hyped broadcasting?
Lifelong Tory: McGuinty “brilliant”
Hudak’s PCs: like narcoticized parrots
Hoo, boy, I don’t know where that zany Tory brain trust is going next, but hang onto your hats for more hard-hitting hilarity on the campaign trail.
Thing is, Smith and the likes of Chumley and the other Tory MPPs all sound like narcoticized parrots, repeating the mantra that McGuinty is the “taxman,” “he’s gonna raise taxes,” “taxes, taxes, taxes…”
Question from youngest son
“Daddy, why do sky divers bother to wear helmets?”
Anyone? Anyone?
Like a hatchet
Someone I like, and their pithy observation about Blatchford’s disgraceful attack on someone who can’t defend himself.
“She’s got a face like a hatchet,” they said. “And all she knows how to do is swing a hatchet.”
Others, it seems, agree. Me? I think she’s Doug Collins, without the Holocaust denial.
The life of Brian
Brian Topp is someone I and many others admire very much. He is one of the sharpest minds in Canadian politics.
But reports of his possible ascension to the now-vacant NDP leadership were, to say the least, premature. (And, Brian would himself say, unseemly.)
So I’m glad the stories are being nipped in the bud. There’s time for some of that stuff, but not now.
