Well for once it seems that the PM decided not to keep a tight leash on his caucus. Unfortunetly it was on the matter of disaplining his homophobic parlimentary secretary MP from Sascatchewan. What a time to loosen his policies. Dion opened Question Periode asking Harper to remove the MP. 'Welcome back to Ottawa Mr. Harper'.
After that Dion hammered Harper on comitting to rebuild the Armory which burnt down in Quebec City. 'How was your trip?' Next it was Afghanistan vollies from both the Liberals and the Bloc. 'Good to have you back.' And then again Water'gay't (copyright) was brought up by a few NDP members. 'How was Romania?' Rough first day back in the House for the PM.
And why was the Sectretary of State for Small Bussiness and Tourism tyring to answer for the Foriegn Affairs minister when Scott Bryson (Kings-Hants) called him out of the sale of the acrtic statlite to the US? The minister of Foriegn Affairs was in House, he managed to answer one of the questions. Why did he hide from the rest? They even brought out Harper's atlantic lapdog Peter McKay to counter attack his Nova Scotian collegue.
In litterary news I've finnished with Darkly Dreaming Dexter and I've moved on to Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcom Gladwell. It's looking good so far. Sad to say though it has to be better then Dexter. After the TV show I was hyped to read the book but now I don't even know if I'll pick up the sequils. Honestly, I think this is the first book which I have not prefered to the TV show or movie which it spawned. A fair bit was changed between the two plot wise and I have to say that everything that was changed for the show was an improvment. But hey, it did inspire one of the best shows on TV so I can't be too hard on it.

I love Malcolm Gladwell! After Blink, you should check out the Tipping Point. Great book on the power of trends and trendsetters.
I must love it too, it's only been two days and I'm about half done. I might take you up on the suggestion, after this all I have left is Late Nights On Air and then I have to take a trip to the bookstore.
