Before there was Dalton...

There was Linwood. While Dalton has been accused by his opponents of being an "evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet," Linwood admits to having consumed his canine. It's in the title of his book! And what else do they have in common? Their opposition to Mike Harris! Obviously the consumption of domestic animals is linked to a lack of "common sense" as defined by the glorious "common sense revolution" that restored Ontarians lost sense of order in the cosmos.

And now, in his wake, and with his support, the country is thoroughly in the thralls of Belinda-mania. Even I'm going to hold one of her chic house-parties, here in Cambridge MA. I'm going to invite Noam Chomsky. I'm sure he's a closet Belinda supporter.
