spring is almost here

"It's time to break that cycle, and it needs to happen from the top down. That's why the truth needs to come out, however ugly the truth might be."

What ugly truth could Representative Tom Davis of Virginia be referring to? Abu Ghraib? Torture extraditions? Enron, Worldcom, Tyco? Wrong! It's steroid use in Major League Baseball.

What a waste of time.

Sunday night, April 3: Yankees vs. Red Sox on ESPN. Be there.

    And completely appreciated! Thanks so much. I don't know if I would have seen this. (Ironic, since MOMA is high on my must-do-again-before-leaving list - but for the permanent collection.)

    Yay, thanks!

    Glad to help. I checked the MoMA website, they are screening the films this weekend through till next Wednesday. I'm not familiar with any of the films on the schedule, although some of the directors and producers involved are quite well-known in Canada (Atom Egoyan and Bruce Macdonald, in particular).

    Rats! I probably won't be able to go to any - working all weekend (as I do) then busy early next week. Oh well. It was a nice thought.

    I'm familiar with those filmmakers, too, especially Egoyan. I saw his interesting (though somewhat confused) film about the Armenian genocide.

    It's funny that someone in Canada is giving me schedules of events in NYC! MOMA is three blocks from where I work on the weekends, at Rock Ctr.

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...

dipstick

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...
