Wednesday digest

- A happy 10th birthday to one of the leading lights of the vast right wing conspiracy.

- The forces of tolerance, diversity and respect for differences should welcome this proposed bill with open arms (that is, if they really believe what they say they do).

- At last week's "Take Back the Night March" in Ottawa, men who are against violence against women who wanted to participate were invited to do so at the end of the line. I think it's sad that even male relatives of female victims of violence have to literally take a back seat to those with a political agenda.

- Prosperous times at Gitmo.

- Don Rumsfeld: dove?

- John Howard: unsung hero.

- While North Koreans rely on grass to survive, their Marxist rulers are about to go nuclear. It's time for the US to put the heat on China because this is absolutely unacceptable.

- Finally, the NHL starts tonight. Although making Cup predictions this early is kind of a shot in the dark (with injuries, trades and other factors), my prediction for June, at least from here, is the same as this blogger's: SJ over Buffalo.
