Thursday, April 12, 2007 Thursday evening musings Kurt Vonnegut, despite his political leanings, was one of my favourite writers. Harrison Bergeron, which we read in high school English, had a profound political impact on me. It is my favourite short story, ever. That wonderful first sentence: "The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal." RIP. On Elizabeth May and Stéphane Dion: Wow. As I wrote yesterday, it is hard to believe this is the party that was until two years ago the most impressive political machine in the free world. This is absolutely amazing. Any historians out there? If so, I'd like to know if this has ever happened in Canadian political history. I doubt it, which would make it unpredecented. What does this say about Dion? Actually, what does this say about May? Are Green Party supporters behind this? I'd be ticked, especially if I were a candidate, because she just endorsed the Liberals to form government. This story is attracting unbelievable attention in the US. I agree his remarks were stupid, but to fire him is too much. He has apologized profusely. I don't like Imus and never listen to his show, but give the guy a break. # posted by Adam Daifallah : 8:31 PM    << Home   National Post peeps RSS - Syndicate me! Andrew Coyne J.
