A couple years ago the Messiah was Paul Martin Jr. For a fleeting moment some touted Justin Trudeau. Credulity was stretched to its limits with Stephane Dion. And now it's Michael "Messiah" Ignatieff. Who will it be next week? Hopefully BOB RAE!!!

Friends, acquaintances, organizations, causes, universities, countries and now coalition partners. All have tasted the sour juice of abandonment. Michael Ignatieff, as anyone paying attention knows, was never elected by his party members to be leader. Ignatieff successfully convinced the party brass to abandon the idea of a real leadership convention. When democracy becomes inconvenient, Michael Ignatieff goes to his default position, Abandon. We need to remember that he signed off on the coalition document which was all about abandoning democracy. And now the latest fiction. Michael Ignatieff, the unelected leader of the Liberals rescuing the Canadian economy by imposing its wonderful Liberal economic ideas on the budget - Fiction. What the Great Abandoner has done successfully is put a gun to the head of the Harper government, blackmailing the Government into bringing in a budget that will drown the Canadian balance sheet in red ink for many years to come. In the meantime, much of the Canadian media will treat the Great Abandoner as the Prime Minister in Waiting, a Northern Obama. Michael Hussein Ignatieff is scheduled to become Prime Minister by Christmas of this year if not sooner, and it will happen if enough voters abandon their senses. If you are looking for a safe harbor from this fiction storm, you have it here.

He’s smart, composed and not afraid to make tough decisions." Perhaps Richard Gwynn is displaying some of that compulsive Canadian niceness that Obama has heard so much about. “Harper is a very good, second-tier prime minister.

I click on the second link and it opens a post at Warren Kinsella's site in a tiny little window that I have to resize in order for it to be useful. You can get the same result by adding target="_blank" when you code the link and the new window would be the same size as the user's existing window. Or you could do as you normally do and let me right-click and choose to open the page in a new tab which is what I'm in the habit of doing to the point where I go for the right mouse button without even thinking about it. To my mind this isn't a very useful feature though I suppose if you can enable it once and then do as you always do, it's not a lot of work for you and it doesn't hurt me because I'll never see it again. ;-) Okay, I don’t get it.
