Tuesday digest
- Lindsay Lohan was busted again for drinking and driving. Why, exactly, is this newsworthy?- A carpenters' union in DC is paying homeless people minimum-wage money with no benefits to pose as members and picket for higher salaries.
- The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer? Nope. Everyone's getting richer, just some more quickly than others.
- It's been a while since I've posted a loony left play of the day, so here goes. I really hope this protest tactic doesn't come to Canada because seeing the fairer members of the federal NDP caucus unclothed is something no one wants to be subjected to.
- I posted this earlier in the month, but in case you missed it, I'm posting it again. It's a clip of the smug, Upper Canada College-educated CBC talking head Avi Lewis - son of David (all genuflect) and Michelle Landsberg, women's-libber from the Toronto Star, and husband of caviar socalist Naomi Klein - dismissively mocking Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Dutch politician of Somali origin who has faced Sharia law, genital mutilation and numerous death threats for speaking out against violent Islam. Deconstruction here.

You blog on Lohan but nowhere mention Dalton's use of a racial slur!
Hold on now, it's not like McGuinty said it.
I had thought of commenting on the offending individual's defense that "she can't be racist because she's Asian" but thought it was too stupid to bother.
I guess at U of T they teach you that you can't be racist unless you are born with white skin.
I should add that at Carleton, they do just that.
I did not know the offending individual was Asian. Still doesn't excuse it.
Nothing excuses defining people by their race, religion, sexual preference, language, gender or along any other identity politics-defined line in the workplace.
We are all invididuals and ought to be treated as such.
