Bye, bye Belinda

So Belinda Stronach is quitting politics. Having been unable to purchase the leadership of the Conservative party and having chosen a rather poor time to sell her loyalty in return for a cabinet seat, I guess her run in public life wasn't shaping up to be what she'd hoped it would be. She must have seen that she wouldn't be back in cabinet after the next election and decided to go back to Daddy's company. Public life will not be poorer without her. It's only too bad that Martha Hall Findlay has had to go through all the trouble of finding another riding to run in before this announcement.

Play Ball!

Today is Opening Day, and I am happy, as my beloved Blue Jays open the season in Detroit, and my slightly less beloved Moscow Rats stagger, riddled with injuries, out of the gate in my fantasy league. I am optimistic about both teams' prospects this year, though more so for Toronto, especially if Doc Halladay can have a good year.

Now, to cook some hot dogs...
