And tell him to can it...or explain that last post, which, as usual for the punditocracy, is so mystifying that it means everything and nothing. Be nice. Mention how pretty and full his lips are.<br /><br />Seriously, the journos are really, really bitter at people for refusing to pay for their crap anymore. Maybe we need to institutionalise them all for a while in order for them to have a chance to recuperate so they can face unemployment and retraining in a better frame of mind.Ti-Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06620550471437012866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-23981286159436360982010-01-06T14:30:10.629-05:002010-01-06T14:30:10.629-05:00I don't know what to make of Cook's latest...I don't know what to make of Cook's latest update:<br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/blogs/blogolitics/grassroots-fury-limps-across-the-nation/article1420857/<br /><br />Does this guy get paid???CanuckRoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105956206764325265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-12967046162832986422010-01-06T03:55:52.690-05:002010-01-06T03:55:52.690-05:00The Globe and Mail may be non-bankrupt now but if ...The Globe and Mail may be non-bankrupt now but if they keep giving us even more Margaret Wente and publishing idiot's articles like Maude Barlow's <i>Ashamed to wear the Maple Leaf</i> drivel she upchucked in today's paper, they won't be long in business.<br /><br />Ti-Guy has joined the <i>Canadians Against Proroguing Parliament</i> Facebook group?
