Bits and pieces

A few random gleanings this morning:

Don Martin has the goods on Canada's Grim New Government™.

Daughter fails a math test: father goes to jail. (Why didn't he think of giving her a free mobile telephone?)

Senator Romeo Dallaire stands up for the rule of law: Conservative backbencher Stéphane Dion threatens him with discipline. And Jason Kenney soils himself--again. [H/t Rusty Idols]

Have Canadian police been brainwashed by Taser International? Or are some cops simply sadistic creeps? (Q: How many RCMP officers does it take to screw in a lightbulb seize a three-inch pocket knife from an 82-year-old heart patient in a hospital bed ? A: Three--if they use a Taser.)

And finally: "I see dead people. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead."
