I hear there is a purple pill that will fix all this but I have to figure out the right question to ask. Until then sputter, hack, wheeze.
- Technology apparently hates Santa and ruined at least one little child's Christmas forever. What next - anti-Santa beer? Santa and beer???
- Via Ben the Tiger, which I pronounce Ti-gaah in a high squeeky voice, comes this lengthy description of the known implications of the Karlheinz Schreiber (KhS) matter. Or those known as of two days ago. And it is just so fun avec beaucoups des pantalons de feu!
But never any money to Mulroney, or not while he was prime minister. And not for any service he performed in the office. To Tory partisans, that's all that matters. The same crowd who were baying for Schreiber to be put on the next plane not two days ago, insisting he was a con man, a liar and a thief who was not to be trusted, now trumpet his testimony as having exonerated Mulroney. (Aside from the extended rant about what a "liar" he is, that is.)
Yet no one is asking where the same extended family of people involved then are located now in the KleenNuGov. There were staffers then and now, right? - The most amazing stat?
"Since Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS — the night Boston began its epic comeback from three games down against the Yankees — (Alex) Rodriguez has come to the plate with 38 runners on base, over the span of 59 at-bats. He left every single one on base, going 0-for-27, right through the Yanks' Division Series loss to Cleveland this month."
- Here is an interesting article on Huckabee which leads me to wonder what a Clinton-Huckabee presidential race would look like given that it is basically a battle between a left wing Baptist and a slightly rightly Methodist. Those two points in the Protestant continuum are pretty much pew-mates. The fine lines caused by the splintering schismists are fascinating stuff, especially when the fate of the free world is on the line...not really but, you know, this is a blog so I have to make stuff up.

Man, you gotta get your head out of the Red Sox world. The most amazing stat? The Leafs won _4_ games in a row as of last night. I would have projected the second coming of Jebus being more likely.

I like to say that I am a Leafs fan so I don't watch hockey. But you are right. They seem to have found a proctologist with the right skills if even in the short term.

Is it just me or does Karl's story change in interesting but subtle ways pretty much on the hour?
I have long wondered what the essential difference, I mean the sort of difference that get you sent to the stake, is between modern Methodists and Baptists.
As to illness,
"One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small,
And the ones that Mother gives you don't do anything at all,
Remember what the dormouse said,
Feed your head, feed your head."
And points to actual GenXer who get the lyric

I'm not even GenX and know that Jefferson Airplane(Jefferson Starship, Starship, Jefferson Airplane again) lyric.
What would a Hillary-Huckabee race look like? A walk over for Hillary. Being able to point out HUckabee saying things that indicate him including religion in his politics will so annoy those left of center that they'll come out in droves. She'll use that as her main rhetorical club against Huckabee. Prepare to say good-bye to cheap drugs everyone, since the pharmas aren't going to sell to you at the prices they do now once we have single payer hc in the US too.

...because it will be like Canada with its cheaper prescription drugs?

"Hiram 18" hrmmmm.... so mote it be
Although Jefferson Starship DID release some crap neatly disguised as "hip top 40 rock" in the mid to late 80s, they are NOT a GenX icon. They are my mom's crap music and therefore Boomer sludge.
Just sayin'
And as much I I hoped for revelations that would result in Harper running scared and the most annoying Mulroney being canned by CTV, Karl's story does seem to fluctuate in believability and consistancy. Maybe he is dragging it all out because he is waiting for the Wild Geese to pop in and liberate him to Argentina.
