From the official NDP plan for cleaning up politics, called "Cleaning Up Politics", an image of the first page: I'm probably finding significance in something that isn't significant, but why doesn't Jack Layton's image grace the front page? Instead we...

I suggested that as a virus, Jack Layton and the NDP should be very worried about the health of their host, the federal Liberal Party. I was speaking metaphorically. But now I wonder if an actual virus is acting in...

The funny thing about the NDP is that in order to implement policies that it insists Canadians want, but for some reason are not willing to vote for, the party needs to inject itself into another larger political organism. Like...

Dare I disagree with Michelle Malkin? Well, I was disappointed that she ended this piece using the incident as a cheap club to whack at liberals. We're not short of reasons to be critical of liberals, and to not graciously accept what sounded like a genuine apology compounds the original error. At least that's what I think.

Seems to me that it is the Democrats in the US who are fixated on keeping the black man in his place. They should stop to consider who is behaving like a displeased master. It's certainly not the Republicans.
