Let's Welcome Martha Hall Monitor

Let's hope this lady can bring some sense and estrogen to the Opposition front bench, which has been too long the playground of schoolyard bullies, and arrogant, devious, uncaring and unfeeling male members.

And she'll give me something to look at besides the bland supercilious smirk of Bobama Rae and the snarky indignation of Count Ignatula.

A hearty welcome to Blogwarts Academy, Martha. Your first job is to send your leader out on the road for a nine month fundraising trip. And don't forget, Keep on Puffin.

PS: Martha, any time you want to do a "Reverse Belinda" move, just give one of my friends a shout.

Talk Tough Like Mike

•“Look, this is America and you have to decide what kind of country you want. This is your country as much as it is mine.” - 2004
*"Look, if I lose, I'll just move back to Massachusetts." - to the Harvard Crimson newspaper - 2006
*“If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you until I’m done.”
• "You're looking at someone who turned down the chance to become Prime Minister of Canada, and I did so, in part, because I felt it would divide the country."
• “I don’t need any lessons in legitimacy from Harper.”
• “He knows where to find me.”
• "He's creating a parliamentary crisis and dividing the country."
• "It’s his budget, not mine."
• "It's up to Harper to make the right decision and up to me to decide if he made it."
• "We're putting the government on probation."
•"Mr. Harper, your time is up.”
*"This is a prime minister who a year ago was trying to make you embarrassed if you liked opera or classical music or the ballet or poetry. I mean, come on, let's get over this. You can like hockey, you can like classical music. Let's stop playing Canadian against Canadian and taste against taste."
