A serious of rather excellent, and right on target, posts by Andrew Sullivan. He’s been on fire in the last few days.

Another veteran Liberal won’t be running again. Milliken’s joining the ranks of the retired as well. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Wappel doesn't run again either. After all the ruckus about how Dion was going to whip his caucus for the security provision vote, and how Wappel opposed him, I imagine his "private" punishment will be the end of his incumbency. All these retiring can only be good news for the CPC, as it puts the Grit's balls to the fire in terms of finding new candidates, which they already seem to be having trouble doing. As well, funny story, remember Dion’s sexist campaign where he announced that he’s only allowing women to run in some ridings, to even it up and all? Well, there are females contesting for the Liberal candidacy in both Papineau and Toronto Center. Standing up for women everywhere, the Grits are parachuting in Trudeau and Rae into those two ridings, who both seem to have a penis (well, at least in Rae’s case). Oh, and remember that story about how Dion tried to court some NDP women, like Dawn Black, and they rejected and mocked him in the media? Yea, he seems to be a real lady’s man.

BC is banning the advertisement of cigarettes, and and smokes won't be able to be on display in stores, you have to ask the cashier specifically for them. Connecticut, on the other hand, is requiring minors to have parental consent and legal ID before making a profile on a social-networking site. Hooray for the nanny state. What ever happened to responsible parenting and consumer choice?
