Thursday digest

- A damning requiem for conservatives in the Great White North, here. How foolish to think it possible to quell the isatiable Canadian appetite for mediocrity. I find it quite telling that I'm looking to France of all places for hope.

- A soft and cuddly moment brought to you by the socialist New Democratic Party, here.

- From the "another sign of the coming apocalypse file", Kate Moss, John Mayer and Tina Fey (who the hell is that?!?) are among the world's 100 most influential people according to TIME magazine, and as VDH points out, the bad guys couldn't be happier.

You keep hearing about the decline in prestige of the mainstream media? It's silliness like this that explains why.

- By the way, if Quebec is supposed to be the one place in North America that's self-confident, knows who it is and what it stands for, as heard during the recent debate over reasonable accomodation, then why are politicians from there bent on destroying a man's reputation over something he didn't even say about the place?

Tina Fey was the first female head writer for SNL and star, producer and lead writer of 30 Rock. She is a bit of a pioneer for women in entertainment. Not that makes her one of the 100 most influential, but she is a big name.

Don't you think the hassle Shane Doan is going through is actually going to enhance his reputation, at least in the rest of Canada?

One thing's for sure ... snivelling Tory pipsqueak Pierre Poilievre has once again demonstrated why he needs to get the crap beat out of him for making comments like "(w)hat the constituents in my riding are saying is they'd like to put the politicians in the penalty box, so Team Canada can put the puck in the net."

What a chump.

He is one of many poster boys for a constitutional amendment which would ban anyone from serving in federal office unless they are over the age of 35.
