Um, sorry, CBC web heads, but six points is not “significant.”

Margin of error and all that.

Nothing has changed. Nobody has a clear lead. You’re welcome.

I’m very excited to hear that Christy is thinking about running. If they’re going to have a shot at re-election, the BC Liberals need someone who isn’t in the current cabinet – and who is popular. Christy meets both criteria.

VICTORIA – The race to replace B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell heats up significantly Thursday with Education Minister George Abbott officially joining the contest flanked by at least a dozen members of the current Liberal caucus.

Sources close to Health Minister Kevin Falcon and former Liberal cabinet minister Christy Clark say the two political veterans are seriously close to joining Abbott and former Liberal cabinet minister Moira Stilwell…

Sources also said former Liberal cabinet minister Christy Clark, who left politics in 2005 after two terms in the Liberal government, is poised to enter the race, with an announcement expected soon.

Clark is currently working as a CKNW radio hotline host in Vancouver, where many of her daily topics deal with dissecting the mysteries of B.C. politics.

Wow.

You know, on a day when:

(a) A young girl’s violation at the hands of CATSA is front page news across Canada

(b) Everyone – left/right, Canadian/American – is pissed off, and justifiably so, at CATSA and the TSA, and

(c) It is already known that CATSA and TSA are scrambling to back away from their idiocy

…I’m not sure I’d be all jokey-jokey about it, and coming to the defence of the goons wearing rubber gloves. That doesn’t seem like the smartest strategy, to me.

I mean, the only thing worse than that would be…oh, I don’t know, flip-flopping on the war.

Oh, wait.

The daughter and I were car dancing to this classic on the weekend.  I told her it reminds me of federal politics.  She looked at me funny.

There’s a real cool club on the other side of town
Where the real cool kids go
To sit around
And talk bad about the other kids
Yeah, it’s a real cool club and you’re
Not part of it
There’s Millie, Pickles and Pattycakes too
And Cubby’s making mean jokes about you
“Ha ha ya little twit!”
Yeah, it’s a real cool club and you’re not part of it
They’re a real cool bunch of die
Fledermausketeers
And they’ll laugh at the Toughskins
Your mom got you from Sears
You dork they’ll never let you in
Cause it’s a real cool club and you’re not part of it
You’re fat and ugly and
An imbecile too
And that’s why they draw funny pictures of you
And talk bad about all the kids
Cause it’s a real cool club and you’re not a part of it
Yeah it’s a real cool club and you’ll never be a part of it
Yeah it’s a real cool club and you’ll never be a part of it

Here.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had it with this lunacy.  If you feel as I do, Transport Minister Chuck Strahl can be reached at ottawa@chuckstrahl.com and/or riding@chuckstrahl.com.  Bombard him with messages.

The top autocrat at CATSA is Kevin McGarr; the chairman of the board is “D” Ian Glen. No emails, of course – you pay their salaries, but God help you if you want to contact them to complain about something.  In any event, their toll-free number is 1-888-294-2202; their complaint page (for all the good it’ll do) is here. Dial and dial again.

And, if you think people are overreacting, take a look at this video, posted first by GritChik. It shows a young child, age five or six, being partially stripped and searched by the TSA, who are apparently now a source of inspiration for the morons at CATSA.

The Ontario Liberals have asked Twitter to shut down a fake account that claims to be registered to Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak’s three-year-old daughter.

A user purporting to be “Miller Hudak,” began posting on Twitter under the username@Hooodakkkk late Monday.

“Everyone is on Twitter. Including those weird relations you want to avoid. Too late now,” reads the first tweet, which is followed by another one that says “Polkaroo is on Twitter!”

When Premier Dalton McGuinty learned of the prank, he sent a handwritten note “from one father to another” to alert Hudak during question period on Tuesday.

The opposition leader read McGuinty’s missive, delivered by a parliamentary page, then walked across the floor to thank the premier. The two men shook hands and later resumed debating.

They screwed up the David Chen case. They screwed up the Humane Society case. They screwed up that Ponzi scheme case.  They screwed up most of the G20 cases. Now this: a Crown Attorney actually makes faces in court, like a child, and a mistrial is declared. In a murder trial.

Time to clean that place out.
