Hilarious story from Michael Ignatieff  today in St. John's, if you missed it.  He wants the Puffin (our noble seabird) to become the official symbol (or just animal?) of the Federal Liberal Party.  

        "They lay one egg (each year). They put their excrement in one place. They hide their excrement.… They flap their wings very hard and they work like hell. This seems to me a symbol for what our party should be."

Man, that guy is so full of shit, I couldn't love it any more. I think i'm figuring out why he missed the nomination— though entertaining, his pretentious academic humour is lost in politics.  That said, Jean Chretien seemed to use similar remarks to great success...  "euuhhh... a little pepper on my plate?"

The real question is which boat-tour operator los liberales chose to peruse fair Witless Bay. . .
