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.

The only thing on fire in this country is the Womens Hockey Team, they kick ass however the men need to be on fire and I don't mean that in a pumped up way! P.S. Mrs. no update updated and you might like it.
HAHA! Thanks for the props, B! Gamut and PM Steve. Thanks for making me feel awesome.
As for the Rosthein "exhibition", it's really not Canadian. The grilling of nominees to the Supreme Court is nothing new in the States; they've been doing it for years, and televising it for at least the last ten years. I think PM Steve just wants to be more like the ever-popular P. Bushie down South. Maybe if he does the same thing the American's do, it'll make him seem more tolerant (somehow) and accountable. And more likeable. Don't worry Stevie. You don't have to impress me with your Supreme Court nominee grilling theatrics. You just have to impress me with your politics.
On the other hand, had it been Peter Mackinnon (the SC nomination hopeful from SK) rather than Judge Rosthein, well, then I think all of campus would have watched the grilling this morning.
Oh, another comment.
I'm certain you didn't watch the East Coast Music Awards this evening (how could you have?) but it was funny. It was hosted by the Trailer Park Boys, and when they found out that the PM was in the front row, Bubbles led the audience in a rendition of the Beatles' "Don't let me down, STEVE!"
Yeah, I thought you might get a kick out of that.
The country is in flames. There will be a revolution. Factions are forming ... the flatland faction made its demands known last night when it invaded the CBC Ottawa studios, which you would know if you checked the CBC website instead of Yahoo News. Gee, Brennan, you sure chose a time to not be here.
Happy St David's Day, Brennan!

No, that's completely untrue. We have a wonderful leader, the same doubleplusgood leader we have always had since the Party freed Canada from the Bourgeois menace decades ago. As Venomous Bee said, you should tune into B.B.'s official news networks rather than listen to those decadent and +false stations run by the enemy Bourgeoisie.
In summary, Canada = +good, Canadainflames = --true, all hail Big Brother (aka Prime Minister Steve, aka P.M.S.) our ++good leader.
You people are a riot.
Seriously.
Totally off topic, but do you still have the comic with the rubber duck in the tub? Francis deleted it off the desktop and I'm very sad about that!
