955...It Takes A Liberal To Demand The Right Thing

In this case the Liberal is Dr. Ruby Dhalla, who Maxim Magazine ranked as the third hottest politician in the world, Sarah Palin was number two and, of course, Mara Carfagna, the Italian minister, was number one.

Brian Lilley of CFRB in Toronto wrote on CFRB.com about her quest to ensure that seniors who immigrate to our great country get some sort of pension.

Mr. Lilley quotes the MP as saying "We cannot have two classes of citizenship in Canada, we are a country of respect, of opportunity, of equality, of hope. And seniors all deserve to have the respect and dignity and ensure that there is fairness within our system."

And when Prime Minister Ignatieff takes the reigns that is what we will have.

633...This Will Make Russell Barth Happy

WWL Radio in New Orleans, btw it is the CFRB, CFRA, CJAD, CKNW, WJR, you get the idea I think, of Nawlins, WWL AM and FM's Dave Cohen reports that the District Attorney of New Orleans, Leon Cannizzaro, in a Paul Martinesque move, is of the mind that trying pot smokers at the state level in New Orleans is passe.

He would like marijuana charges to be moved from the state docket to the municipal docket.

The D.A. wanted to make it clear that he doesn't want this to be misinterpreted. "I am not here advocating the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana in any way whatsoever," he told the council. Furthermore he pointed out that the maximum penalty for simple marijuana possession would remain six months in jail and/or a $500 fine.

State judges, not surprisingly, are against such a move, primarily I would think because it would mean less work for them and less work equals less money.
