1. Stephen Harper has his first casualty<\/a> as Maurice Vellacott <\/a>resigns. It may not be as exciting a way to go as over Romanian strippers, but I’m sure it still hurts.<\/p>\n

2. If anyone can find a picture of Diane Finley with the horrifying glasses she keeps wearing to QP, I’ll be forever grateful. (UPDATE: <\/em><\/strong>Apparently Diane has a medical condition requiring them which I wasn’t aware of. Now, as for Stockwell Day’s rainbow coloured tie he wore on Monday, I wonder what message he’s <\/em>trying to get across)<\/p>\n

3. Not only does Bob Rae’s site avoid the use of the word “Rae”, the main banner <\/a>seems to be devoid of Bob himself. Or maybe it’s pictures of people named Bob. Or people who like “What About Bob?”. I’m a little confused.<\/p>\n

4. In fairness, I’m finding the unexpected attack of the pdfs <\/a>on Gerard’s site a little annoying.<\/p>\n

5. Paul Wells is back blogging and his post <\/a>saying that Jean Chretien<\/strike> Tony Blair should sack Paul Martin<\/strike> Gordon Brown has spawned a few comments among Libloggers. For the record, I think Chretien was in the right to fire\/quit Martin – no Prime Minister should be expected to tolerate someone actively campaigning against <\/em>him. That said, it’s very much debatable if that was the right strategic move since it allowed Martin to be even more overt in his plotting.<\/p>\n

6. Anyone want to take bets on when Andrew Coyne ends his hiatus?<\/p>\n

7. The race <\/a>for the right to complain about the Green Party’s exclusion from the leader’s debates is on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
