The issue of <\/span>David Emerson’s appointment<\/span><\/a> to Stephen Harper’s cabinet has <\/span>most conservative bloggers furious<\/span><\/a>. A doughty band of brother and sister bloggers have staked out the hill opposite, and on it they’ve hosted the flag that reads: “Hey, this makes sense!”<\/p>\n
