You better be meditating on the benefits we all share from the labour union movement this weekend. "Sure, I'll take the day off but don't you dare think for a minute that I like unions." I can hear you. You hypocritical holidaying ingrates. Me, I will be singing "The International" and all my Billy Bragg 45s and calling everyone I meet comrade or maybe even Leonid.

WATCH OUT! SPACE JUNK!!!
⇒ Glad that's cleared up. Italians are now "ethnics" under the rural overlords world view. Next, Scots and Irish and soon New Brunswickers.
⇒ Ernie Eves busts out against those Ontario Tea Party Tory bastards: "I don't think it was fair and I don't think it was loyal and I don't think it was compassionate and I don't think it's honest." Crime: voting for someone. Now, that's a Tory: anti-democratic and proud of it.
⇒ I have no idea how sad it must be to be a Blue Jays fan. I mean, it's like they think the team doesn't suck. See, being a Leafs fan, I know they suck.
⇒ Do we now feel a twinge of guilt for reveling in Conrad's fall? I will give him this - there is no one else reporting honestly on the state of the back end of the justice system like he is.
Ahh... long weekend. I needed it. I earned it. Really did. Didn't I. I didn't? Who says?

Eves? Establishment.
Well, that's where the Tea Party had a real effect, Stateside -- defeating longstanding careerist incumbents who had gone far from the libertarian camp.
Sometimes, this was good (Toomey for Specter, Lee for Bennett, Paul for Grayson). Sometimes, this was bad (O'Donnell for Castle).
Is having a few Eastern Ontario libertarians taking down the Dean of the Provincial Parliament a "Tea Party-style tactic"? In terms of the good side of the Tea Party that I like, I suppose so. In terms of the bad side of the Tea Party -- incivility, policy semi-incoherence (at times), amateurism and hatred of elites per se -- I don't think it is.
Norm Sterling didn't own his seat -- it was always on loan from the people of his riding.
He and Eves forget that, I think.

My Sobey's has Italian food in the ethnic aisle, as if spaghetti hasn't been a North American staple since at least The Lady and the Tramp.

Your Sobey's has ethnic Italian because they had to create ethnic for Italian in 1966 and they never moved it.

I won't sing "the International", but I will sing "Joe Hill" with you.
