Someone tell the NDP that please.
I thought I was the only one who wasn't jazzed up about the Dipper's leadership thingy but, alas, I am not.
Mia Rabson's story in the Winnipeg Free Press about yesterday's debate in Halifax states that the debate "...was pretty bland and somewhat underlines a new poll that shows many Canadians do not have any idea who these candidates are."
They also had the debate on the day of the NHL All-Star game which, with the hoi polloi/voters, is a big deal here in Our Home And Native Land.
I would guess that the NDP has dropped the ball and will nestle nicely back into 5th place.
Jack Layton must be churning in his urn.

4161...Le Wheels Have Le Fallen Off In La Belle
For the PDN or whatever way the NDP groups their initials in La Belle.
A poll done for CTV and the Globe and Mail by Nik Nanos says that "The Liberals sat at 26.5 per cent in Quebec, up almost four points, while the NDP dropped to 29 per cent from 33.4 as it continues the process to select a new leader after Jack Layton's death last summer."
You know that caveat, we are right 19 out of 20 times blah, blah and blah? Methinks that the NDP victories in Quebec back in 2011 would fall under that.

4160...It's A Dog Day For UK
Coz it is the 'net I ended up at WKLY.com, they are a TV station in Louisville, Kentucky, and I see this piece on a dog writing a fan letter to Coach John Calipari of the number one Kentucky Wildcats.
Cut and paste:
It wasn't from my dog Mara. I bleed Syracuse Orange.

Cut and paste:
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Kentucky coach John Calipari thought he had seen it all: then he received fan mail from a dog.
Calipari said Friday the letter arrived complete with a paw print "signature."
The coach of the top-ranked Wildcats said the canine correspondence ranks among the most unique things he's ever received. But it was somewhat fitting as Kentucky's defense has been pretty doggone good.
It wasn't from my dog Mara. I bleed Syracuse Orange.

4159...Stephen Harper In One Sentence
From they.com:
Beyond brilliant.

We have a Prime Minister (that’s French for Dear Leader under the current regime) who doesn’t give a suckling goat what the people think about his policies.
Beyond brilliant.

4158...Dana White Needs To Get A Grip
Dana White is the owner, the face, the leader et. al. of the UFC.
For those of you who have been on the moon with President Gingrich, the UFC is the hottest combat sport going. Tonite's show is the UFC on FOX, a broadcast/cable thing. Most of the UFC events are on pay TV and are also marketed to sports bars.
Here is what is getting Dana White pissed. People, like me, like you, are pirating, stealing, Mr. White's fight night off the 'net. You know, the same way a lot of us watch Sons of Anarchy, The Office and the NFL.
Dude, for a guy that is so media savvy and hip and on the curve you have losted your way. You have to do like The Office and the NFL in particular do which is figure out how to make money off us even if we are pirates. Seriously, Congress can pass SOFA and any other laws they want. Good luck to them on stopping pirates. When granny starts thieving, and she has, it is game, set and match.
Work it out Mr. White or you will become the cultural equiv of the cassette tape.

4157...The Cultural Capital Of Metro Detroit...
...and Canada's second sleaziest city, Windsor, is holding a dwarf tossing competition tonight.
I personally have no problem with that, this particular dwarf has to make a living, eh? And getting tossed in the air by drunks may not be your dream job but I bet it beats working a call centre gig or being an adult paper boy. Ron Jones, a Windsor councillor was quoted as saying as much in the Windsor Star: "A person has a right to make a living..."
Still it is fun, at least pour moi, to see all the stick in the muds get their panties all twisted over such a non issue. As Mr. Jones said "If you don't want to go and see it, you don't have to go and see it."
