Christie Blanchford quotes Wilson Lee
"F--k, I feel like a Korean guy at a Reform/Alliance convention." Pause. "I am. lt's always a little unsettling to realize that a national party is so racially homogeneous." So the CRAP party elected Stockwell Day last night. Stockwell Day is a prudish, intolerant, Bible-thumping bigot -- not to mention a slash and burn fiscal conservative -- but I am also convinced that he must be a backroom weasel of a caliber never seen before in Canada. This is the only conceivable way he can escape the political ire and backroom weaseling of people like Brian Mulroney and manage to court the Big Money in this country. Any way you slice it, it is bad. Very very bad.
Sarah Vowell : American Dreams
"I am more of a "despite" patriot, believing in the inherent truth and beauty of the nation's founding documents despite the fact we've never, not even in the beginning—especially in the beginning—lived up to anything close to a more perfect union. But (A) show me somewhere better (and if you say your native Canada, Paul, I suggest you tell me why you moved to L.A.), and (B), I think I'm a better person because I have words like "more perfect union" to live up to."
