Six In The Morning

1 FORMER TORY MP WHO ATTACKED NDP FOR BEING SOFT ON MARIJUANA ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING AND COCAINE POSSESSION Rahim Jaffer, former MP for Edmonton-Strathcona, will face charges for booze and blow. Fortunately for Jaffer, being a smooth-talking bullshit-peddling hypocrite jackass is legal in this country. (Toronto Star)

2 LIBERAL LEADER GRANDSTANDS OVER AWFUL BODY-BAG FAUX PAS Michael Ignatieff demands apolgies after Manitoba First Nations communities got shipments of body bags instead of swine flu vaccine. (Globe And Mail)

3 YET CONSERVATIVE SUPPORT INCREASES Oh, whatever (CBC). I'm curious--do people like the Conservatives for their drug hypocrisy? Do they like the homophobia? What about the religious and/or right-wing extremism? Is it their militarism? Their anti-environmentalism? Their anarchy-like passion for small governments and unfettered free markets? Their hateful rhetoric? Their simpleminded tough on crime crap? Their general fact-aversion? Actually, nevermind. I'm going to stand over here and talk to the 65 per cent of Canada that isn't fucked in the head.

4 I AGREE WITH BRAD WALL Saskatchewan's premier says nuclear power might be too expensive for Saskatchewan. (StarPhoenix)

5 UNITED STATES DITCHES EUROPE ANTI-MISSILES U.S. President Obama has scrapped the dumb-ass, waste of money that wouldn't work anyway Bush-era program, good. (Guardian)

6 R.I.P., MARY Mary Travers, one-third of the legendary folk group Peter, Paul and Mary, has died. (CBC). Sucks. You'll need a video, here you go.
