Been up for hours (I’m a worrier – I’ve packed the kids’ bags three times) but I wanted to draw your attention to this Gerald Caplan column. It’s from a Dipper perspective, natch, but worth a read.
Bon voyage!
UPDATE: Typical Warren. I thought Daylight Savings Time kicked in today, not tomorrow. Oops! Go back to sleep, kids. Dad’s a total idiot.
Here’s Caplan, who is a partisan NDPer, but is right about the Grits’ (apparent) push for an election:
In five published polls in the last month, their best total is 27 per cent, their average is 26 per cent, and one poll offered 23 per cent (as does a new one just published). This is Stephane Dion country, folks, even lower, and goes to show the extraordinary self-contained bubble in which Ottawa exists. When it’s over, there’s a good chance Michael Ignatieff will be pleading with a community college to take him on as a part-time teaching assistant.
Someone who I thought knew better apparently doesn’t. Pretty disappointing.
@kady: I’d actually love to bring ‘tar baby’ back to acceptable usage. There’s really no satisfactory alternative.
@kady: I’m sorry, but “tar baby” – and, indeed, “cotton-pickin'” – are orders of magnitude less dubious than, say, ‘gyp’.
Someone just sent me the bit of idiocy below, which Kady retweeted. I don’t think someone is getting the point:
@johnbowman: @kady Must we be so niggardly with our language? … Oh, crap.

And what, pray tell, does Timmy Hudak think about what his Big Tobacco/Big Pharmacies lobbyist has to say? Well, he says he’s “a leader,” and he thanks him for his commitment to the PC cause. Yep.
How much do you want to bet we won’t be hearing again from the Big Tobacco lobbyist for the rest of 2011? Anyone?
A photograph of the training session, used by U.S. authorities to convict a Toronto man who tried to buy arms for the Tigers in 2006, raises new questions about the National Council of Canadian Tamils (NCCT), a group linked to a Tory candidate from the Toronto area.”
“…go to school, work hard, get married and have a family.
“If you follow this path, then you and your family will all succeed,” said [Hudak campaign boss Mark] Spiro.”
And if you’re single, didn’t graduate, or are childless? Well, you’re screwed under the Hudak-Hillier junta.
Actually, under these troglodytes, you’d be screwed anyway.
