At The Torch, Damian Brooks takes a look at gadfly UBC professor (and heretofore undisclosed by our ever-so-conscientious media: NDP advisor; NDP financial contributor; and NDP convention delegate) Michael Byers, who has been running around of late, trying to get Canadian soldiers and (Conservative) politicians indicted as war criminals. (But of course, they "support the troops.")
One paragraph I found especially interesting. I've highlighted a particular phrase that leapt out at me:
Byers closed the night with an anecdote. His friend, Dawn Black, an NDP Member of Parliament, was recently named by NDP leader, Jack Layton, as the party’s defense critic. Apparently, Dawn knows nothing about defense but was named just because she is the smartest cookie in the NDP caucus. So Dawn phones up her pal, Professor Michael Byers, to ask him what she needs to know. "All I know is that peace is good and war is bad," says Dawn. Byers fawningly replies: "Dawn, you’ll be just fine."
Dawn Black? Dawn "Big Guns! HUGE GUNS!!!" Black is the intellectual motor behind the NDP?
It would explain so much.

Isn't it pathetic that Harper's losers are being torn apart (in the public's opinion, see polls) by people like Dawn?
How pathetic is Harper not to have gotten a majority after adscam?
Tied with the Liberals? How's it feel to be on your way to an election loss?
