Hold the Steamed Grits

Super-bored this morning at the Palais de Bureaucracie, so you're getting a lot of my political musings.

A blog well worth reading is Cherniak on Politics, written by former Trinitron and budding political maestro Jason Cherniak. Jason is well-connected within the Canadian political blogosphere (by some accounts, he helped create the Canadian political blogosphere) so his posts tend to generate quite a bit of (sometimes remarkably vitriolic) debate and discussion from various points on the political spectrum.

I intensely dislike the kind of personal baiting that some of Jason's more conservative readers seem to feel is appropriate to deploy when debating public policy (though I suppose they have only their fearless leader as a role model), and it's to Jason's credit that he is invariably polite, if impassioned, in his responses. And it's not like I've never descended to name-calling either.

Of course it is funded by tax dollars! I consider this forum an essential public service.

Your blog is funded by Mila's goodwill, which is much more precious.
