Clown Car Republicans
The so-called Tea Party "movement" in the States was always a joke and now the people who they elected are acting like clowns, including circus stunts like reading the Constitution right out loud, and holding meaningless and illegal votes.

Great line of the day
Dawg writes about Harper's outstanding record of hiring incompetent people:
From the Rights and Democracy sideshow to the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner and now apparently to the CHRT [Canadian Human Rights Tribunal], we can see a pattern clearly emerging: incompetent, tyrannical managers and/or ideologues appointed to difficult and demanding positions by the Harper administration, and spectacularly flaming out.

Auld lang syne
Sorry for lack of blogging -- had a touch of the flu today.
But I just wanted to share this happy new year moment with everyone:
It's always worth remembering that, however dull your new year celebration was, at least it wasn't this bad!

Kodachrome: 1935-2010
Today is the end of Kodachrome with the closure of the last processing lab in the US:
One of the toughest decisions was how to deal with the dozens of requests from amateurs and professionals alike to provide the last roll to be processed.
In the end, it was determined that a roll belonging to Dwayne Steinle, the owner, would be last. It took three tries to find a camera that worked. And over the course of the week he fired off shots of his house, his family and downtown Parsons. The last frame is already planned for Thursday, a picture of all the employees standing in front of Dwayne’s wearing shirts with the epitaph: “The best slide and movie film in history is now officially retired. Kodachrome: 1935-2010.”

Not an impressive debut
The first thing newly-minted Conservative Senator Larry Smith does is complain about the pay?
Nobody forced you to say yes, sir.
What an insult to Canada this appointment is.
