Who Wants to Go to War?

This is quite baffling, dear Diary. Does the Puffin Party of Canada really want to go to war over election expenses? If so, I would like to ask, did the Puffin Party of Canada use any of the $40 odd million in missing sponsorship cash to finance their campaign in the last election? Canadians want to know...

Judge Gomery was fascinated by the missing millions. "No one really knew where the money went," he mused to Radio-Canada's Céline Galipeau in an interview. "It was very satisfying to trace at least some of it." (Montreal Gazette, August 10, 2007)

Maybe some enterprising Canadian journalist can track this down.

Anyhoo, I'm escaping down the fire escape and we're off to The Big Easy to see my two amigos! So long whiners.

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."
