And Rob, have you told us about your new guy?

Decided to give the Liberals equal time, that is Louis St. Laurent, 12th PM if memory serves.

He was PM during my lifetime.

That's 'cuz you're not old enough. The original is from the '50s starring Kevin McCarthy. He has a cameo in the remake where he runs up to Sutherland's car, pounds on the window and yells, "They're coming! They're coming!" or something like that, recalling a scene in the original when someone runs up to McCarthy's car.

In many ways the original was better with its cold war paranoia.

I'm my own tin God, I follow my conscience. And I'll admit, I don't always go around doing what I think is right, but I try very hard not to go around doing what I think is wrong.

Anyhoo, it works for me, and they've yet to take me away in chains.

The wisest words I've read in a long time.

Mind if I use that, Chas?

Excellent! I'll look for it.

Rob, did he do anything worth mentioning?

Wow! That is shocking.

If one of those poor kids turns out to be gay, I think this will leave a scar, to say the least.
