insert your own joke here

Bored stupid here at work, I went off to find a window. From 40+ floors up in the middle of Rockefeller Center, that can be a treat.

Sure enough, it's a sparkling clear night. I can see the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the New York Life tower, even the Statue of Liberty in the distant harbor. Ah, New York.

The top of the Empire State Building is lit in blue and white. Hmm, let's see. It's not St. Patrick's Day - too early, and that's obviously green. Israel Independence Day is blue, but that's in May. Blue and white on March 13... No idea.

Back at my desk, I googled "empire state building lighting colors". Take a look for yourself. You'll never guess.

Someone please make a good joke here. Redsock, I'm counting on you.

not so fast

Not everyone thinks the Conservative government is a lock. Canada's opposition Conservative Party, which is set to bring down the minority Liberal government later this week, was hit by a new opinion poll on Monday that showed it was trailing in the country's most vote-rich region. The Leger Marketing poll for the Sun chain of newspapers put support for the Liberals in the powerful central province of Ontario at 43 percent compared with 31 percent for the Conservatives. Ontario, a Liberal stronghold at the federal level for the past 12 years, accounts for 106 of the 308 seats in House of Commons, and no party can hope to form a government without doing well there. . . . Prime Minister Paul Martin's Liberals have been badly hurt by a corruption scandal and Conservative leader Stephen Harper says the government must be defeated as soon as possible. The Leger figures, however, suggest there is no guarantee Harper can end 12 years of Liberal rule. Thanks, ALPF! I must say, I&#

So there won't be an election yet. Talk about a squeaker . Feel free to tell us how you feel about this, unless it's all been said already, then feel free not to. ALPF mustered his courage and sent more links, so I have some good commentary to post. I found this Macleans story on the Conservative party's reaction to Stronach's decision - and public reaction to that reaction - very interesting. Canadians seem almost universally turned off by the name-calling and sexist slurs. On the other hand, when a certain governor made his "girly men" pronouncement, his constituency howled with glee. (Which is not to say the rest of us weren't appalled.) The Macleans article also notes that not all the sexism came from politicians: Some of the most sexist characterizations of Stronach didn't come from her political adversaries, but from media. Montreal's La Presse newspaper ran a cartoon of Martin leaning out his car window to solicit a street-walking Stronach
