Boring as Hell

Don't care that Michael Jackson is dead.

Don't care that Michael Ignatieff is pretending to like Alberta.  The word Liberal is a profanity pretty much everywhere from the Peg to the Rockies.  A slick Harvard professor isn't going to change that.

Don't care what Stephen Harper is saying today.  I know whatever it is he wouldn't have said it ten years ago.

I sort of care what happens with Sarah Palin, if only because I do like her. Unfortunately she has yet to dispel the general impression that she is a light weight.  Remember, Alaska has a population smaller than that of Mississauga.  Being Governor of Alaska is essentially a part-time job.  The rest of the time is taken up by photo-ops (which is typical for most politicos).  Being able to find Africa on a map would be a plus.

Gordon Brown's death spiral is very boring. Even his political death lacks drama. The only politician more impressive - if that's the word - in his mediocrity is Dalton McGuinty.

While driving on the weekend I noticed one of the growing piles of garbage.  The city is not quite over-run with trash, nor does it smell more than usual.  What impressed me about this particular pile was its location, Sunnyside Park.  This is a park located right next to the lake, not far from a series of luxiury condos.  Another pile is in Christie Pits, one of the city's best known and loved parks. Not only are Toronto's city fathers so clueless as to not have contracted out garbage collection, they seem in intent on ruining many of the city's most scenic spots.  The strike has hoisted Mayor David Miller by his own petard.  He who lives by the unions should die by the unions.

I again ask Tim Hudak to refrain from using the word Middle Class.
