The Member for East (and West) Drooling Idiocy
Chilling.
So, so easy to deny to one's self or maybe just forget outright that dangerously dumb and stupid people continue to be given positions of public athority and responsibility.
As I read the chilling (when taking it all at face value) accounts of how close the world was to having 10 airplanes drop into the Atlantic Ocean on unscheduled stops, the chill grew yet colder with this simple sentence in the globeandmail.com story I was reading (prepare yourself to fear):
"In Vancouver, federal Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day told a news conference Canada's anti-terror laws and regulations are working well and don't need further tightening."
I can't shake the image of Day slapping a Gatorade out of a kid's hands, yelling: "Don't you know that stuff can blow your lips off!"
I hope the Minister's PR people had him dressed in Keystone Cop garb for the oh so very reassuring sentiments from Canada's very own public idiot.
"Good night, Eddie..."
