Poor Little Rich Girl Calls It Quits

It was really just a matter of time, I thought until Belinda Stronach gave up on politics. I mean after all who wants to be on the wrong side? As well her personal history shows that really, she has no staying power. She ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party and lost to Stephen Harper. When he didn't acknowledge her superior brain, she quit and crossed the floor to the Liberals. Now she is going back to work for daddy's (her) company. I wish her well, really.

Two more Canadian soldiers died today in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban. This on the eve when the six soldiers who were killed on Easter Sunday are coming home in coffins. May they rest in peace.

I have said it before, this is a futile and unwinable war. We are battling an enemy who does not fight a fair fight and who are tribal in nature. We could be there forever and the moment we think we have won and go home they will go right back to doing what they have always done. The stronger will kill the weaker and control through religion.

I think there are large parts of the world were democracy is just not possible.

On a positive note, I got the doctors to change my mothers medications. I truly believe that the digoxin was poisoning her and creating her mental distress. The doctor agreed that it was possible....and now, I might do a little knitting.
