How much scrambling is going on behind the scenes right now to try and make this into a reality TV show?

What the heck...I'd watch it.

It'd be like making Axworthy the captain of the post ice berg Titanic.

Not exactly a career builder.

Don't worry about Margaret Atwood...the queen of monotone will be imprisoned along with Justin and any other enemies of the regime in Goosetanamo Bay.

I saw the original interview on P&P. Mulcair looked like an incoherent, babbling, conspiracy nut bar.

Keep in mind the interview went on for several minutes. It's not like the guy just had a momentary brain fart.

I used to be quite impressed by the guy...but seeing him yesterday...whoa...I'll bet he gets along great with caucus comrad Libby Davis.

I think my admiration of the party leader that precipitated my excitement in this election contributed to the loyalty I displayed in voting for him in spite of my anger and fear over the novelty candidates that I didn't vote for.

No way the Americans were going to let Osama come out of that compound alive. That would have resulted in court battles and increased world tension for the next decade.

Better to face the recriminations of an extrajudicial killing than face the alternative consequences.

In the end...the US will say "yeah...we bumped off Osama...so what?" A bunch of people will squawk about it...but a lot more will applaud it.

Well it appears that the practical Conservative "app" beat the historical Liberal "scrolls."

Do you recall that during the 2009 coalition days that support for the Harper Conservatives soared to around 50%?

The coalition might have worked for a few months, but would likely have resulted in an even greater Conservative majority today.

They were sort of between a rock and a hard place.

I think the overall "take home message" is that Ignatieff proved to be an insecure and indecisive leader.
