In the Land of Cheap Beer and Hot Girls

I am not a fan of The National Post. This article is a great illustration of some of the reasons for my opinion, aside from the fact that I think, on the whole, that the articles are poorly written. Graeme Hamilton is openly delighted about the way in which the Conservatives were jeering Gilles Duceppe in the House of Commons. My first question for Mr Hamilton is, "Why should I care about the grade 3 level of insults?" and my second question is, "Don't you have anything better to do?"

Hamilton goes on to paint Duceppe as a traitor to the Bloc Quebecois and I categorize that as entirely as spin. That is not a fact, it is an opinion and opinions are like bellybuttons. Everyone has one. Hamilton also supposes that this gives the Conservatives an advantage in Quebec. So what if Hamilton thinks Duceppe made a grave mistake? Do I? Do other journalists? Does Duceppe? Do you?

Here is Duceppe and his biggest fan:
