A few items

First, they say confession is good for the soul, so I'm going to confess to having watched Desperate Housewives for the last four weeks. Last night's episode was so ridiculous (and boring), though, that I found myself doing a Soduku puzzle instead. Never again will I watch it. (Not to mention a stern rebuke from Liz B.). Any other TV shows people have unfortunately watched?

Second, does the information revolution and the internet favour a Marxian or Hegelian view of history and its progession? I thought Hegelian because of its propulsion of ideas so quickly and easily, but now I think one can take a Marxian view, as well, because it puts the information power out of the hands of the Izzies, Turners, Blacks, etc. and into, well, mine--and yours. And we are not likely very wealthy. (Except for my brother Paul. He's the richest person I know. Well, next to Richard B. who also works at Nortel--which is why they are rich.)

Third, if this is what you have to complain about, then let me say, "Keep up the good work all you opposition MPs! Thanks for doing us no good! Way to keep the governing party in line by condemning the vehicle they ride in." (Interestingly, the fellow referenced as the spokesperson for Harper in the article, Dimitri Soudas, is a colleague of my Dad.)

Fourth, while I find the Sun chain a little less thoughtful, these are two valuable editorials. This is on the poor decorum of the Liberals in not showing up to hear the Prime Minister of Australia. This is on the recent breakdown surrounding the Public Appointments Commission.
