-I still can't get over that Alexandre Trudeau piece in the Star. It's a week later and people are still talking about it. Rightly so. It has been a long time since I've seen such effusive, obsequious, complete hagiography with such a reckless disregard for facts and truth in a serious publication. Does this speak to the moral bankruptcy of Mr. Trudeau, his family, or the modern Left in general? Who knows. Fidel Castro -- a Communist dictator who kills political opponents, throws journalists in jail, persecutes gays and whose citizens die every year attempting to flee the country on makeshift rafts -- is a hero? Don't his actions represent an affront to liberalism? I don't understand.
-I enjoyed the comments in the post about Barbara Kay's article. I learned a lot from some of the statistics presented and I encourage everyone to read them if you haven't yet. I still think anti-semitism in Quebec is a problem -- especially in the separatist movement -- but it is a problem in a lot of places.
-I had to laugh at being taken to task by the "Progressive" bloggers about the Lieberman stuff. I laugh because in almost 40 years the Left has still not learned any lessons about foreign policy in American elections. The damage of the McGovern candidacy is still being felt by Democrats today, yet they keep going back for more. (It's fine by me.) I didn't just call them the insane wing of the Democratic Party for rhetorical reasons: it's because one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.
