Well, it's late here, and I'm tired, and that's the reason I haven't been posting a lot lately. I am trying to keep up with my work, and so right before I go to bed, I think, "Oh yeah, I should probably...post...on...my blog...eyes....slowly...closing...." and so on and so forth. I have also been trying to be nice to myself lately--like, going to bed on time. Last week was horrible because between being unable to sleep, and staying up too late, I was tired all the time. So, in bed before one-thirty for me! Yeah!
In other news, and in the news, I'm personally having a little trouble understanding exactly what the government is doing right now. Are they having some sort of public interview for Supreme Court Judges? Is that what's going on? I read a couple new bites on it, but y'know, MSN and Yahoo aren't exactly known for their reliable (or even, properly edited) news articles, so I'm a little concerned about the content. News keeps getting more and more contentless, I tell you what.
Anyways, personal issues about that aside, I kind of think that this whole ask judges questions thing and but not hot button issues to see if they would be a good Supreme Court Judge seems...uh...well, weird. Heck, call a spade a spade. Why would they do that? I feel like this is just something PM Steve (Another term borrowed from Will today) to say, "Look, look, I've got a government, and I can spell the word accountable!" And I can just imagine Steve-o putting on a short skirt and grabbing some pom-poms leading the rest of the Conservatives band: "Gimmie an A! A! You got your A you got your A! Gimmie a C! C! You got your C, you got your C!"
Not that I'm overly critical of whatever this...is...that they're doing...since this committee apparently has no bearing on whether the particular judge gets the job? But it provides another opinion?
If you ask me, this looks like reality TV and for supreme court judges.
And as that wasn't embarrassing enough, why should men or women who are, what? 50? 60? Have to go through a job process like they are getting an entry level position? This isn't student council for eighth grade, for heaven's sake. They aren't applying to work at McDonald's. I'm more on the side of the people who are in law who are afraid that this is going to turn into something similar to the United States, where people bicker over this particular decision quite a bit and it's a problematic process in some cases. And that would be a shame, don't you think?
Anyways, I think this may be a bit of a ruse to make it look like Harper is doing something with his government. However, the game is still early, and I'm positive something good can come out of Harper's government. Even if the man can't comb his hair properly. Other than that, however, the country isn't in flames, right? Tell me its not in flames. Flame-ity flame-ity flames. Right, happy thoughts. Oh gosh. It's 2 am. So much for early bed time.
OK, I have to go to bed now. Night everyone.
