6187...NFL Union Weak: Presumption Of Innocence
One thing that seems to upset people in my peer group and in Ottawa specifically, is the fact that when police get busted for something, something [in this town it is usually bouncing a feller's head off of the nearest hard object] they are suspended with pay.
Me, I have no problem with that. Innocent until proven guilty and all that. Their associations are strong and support their workers.
The National Football League on the other hand not supportive at all. Its player's union allows the NFL to toss players under the proverbial bus when they are charged with but not convicted of felonious behaviours. Here is the latest example from TSN: " [Aaron] Hernandez was cut from the NFL team [New England Patriots] less than two hours after he was arrested and led from his North Attleborough home in handcuffs, and nine days after Lloyd's body was discovered by a jogger in a remote area of an industrial park not far from Hernandez's home. The 2011 Pro Bowl selection had signed a five-year contract last summer with the Patriots worth $40 million."
And that 40 million dollar deal? Gone with the wind.

6186...JT's Liberals Breaking Thru In Alberta
Among other places.
A piece I grabbed off of the Laurier Institute For The Study Of Popular Opinion And Study [note to the domos at LIFTSOFPAS: you may want to tighten up the name] states that the federal Libs are poised to break thru including Alberta.

A piece I grabbed off of the Laurier Institute For The Study Of Popular Opinion And Study [note to the domos at LIFTSOFPAS: you may want to tighten up the name] states that the federal Libs are poised to break thru including Alberta.
A seat projection based on a blending and weighting of polls from Leger Marketing, Ipsos Reid and Forum Research conducted between May 21 and June 19 among over 4000 respondents indicate that a popular surge by the Liberals has continued over the past four months, and now places the party close to a parliamentary majority. During this period LISPOP has issued four projections which have featured a consistent pattern of Liberal gains in each of the six regional classifications over each succeeding projection. One explanation for this phenomenon is the presence of Justin Trudeau as party leader, but the trend actually preceded his selection. The largest Liberal seat increase in the past month was noted in Quebec, but the party continues to gain in all regions, including the once impregnable Conservative bastion of Alberta where the Liberals are now positioned to pick up five seats in newly redistributed areas of Edmonton and Calgary. Note: This projection is based upon the provisional, not the final boundaries of redistribution.Happy days are not here again; but they are getting closer.

6185...Senator Wallin She No Vote
Says so right here in today's Globe and Mail. "...the Saskatchewan senator did not vote in the last federal, provincial or municipal elections because of her schedule."
Too busy to vote? That's some serious bullsh*t.

6184...Rob Ford In Trouble Again
This time the story comes from CBC who have revealed that hizzonner was friends with one of the frequent callers to his Sunday afternoon radio show on CFRB. "CBC News has learned that the caller is David Price, the mayor’s current director of operations and logistics."
This of course has never, ever, ever happened before. Having a friend call your radio talk show and give you props. Additionally no staffers in the history of electoral politics have ever written a letter to the editor praising their boss/their party/their own bad selves. And never, ever, ever have these staffers got a party loyalist to do the same.
Never.

6183...Kathleen Wynne Has Pride
The Premier of Ontario sent me this note and asked me to share it with you.
When I ran for the leadership of this party, some people asked if Ontario was ready for an openly gay Premier. I said that the people of Ontario judge each other on their merits and their ideas, not according to race or religion or sexual identity.
And now, as communities across the province celebrate Pride, I know I was right.
For the past few months, I've travelled this great province and met all kinds of people. They want great jobs and vibrant communities. They care about their kids' education and the needs of their aging parents. They're interested in new ideas and strong leadership.
We are lucky to live in a province where diversity, acceptance and equality are defining principles. Where everyone is respected and has a chance to do their best.
So as we celebrate Pride, we celebrate Ontario as place of fairness and opportunity. And we dedicate ourselves to protecting those fundamental values for the sake of future generations.
Please share this message so the people of Ontario know that they are my source of pride.

6182...Bacon Dipped Bullets
Exclusively from South Fork Industries of Dalton Gardens, Idaho comes the pork dipped bullet.
Iffen I could make sh*t like this up I would be a millionaire. But I can't so I gotta go with the facts.
The Daily Mail reports that the facts are that "They took traditional ammo and coated the bullets in a pork-infused paint. Those shot with the bullets would be unclean, as the Islamic religious forbids Muslims from coming into contact with pig meat."
