waxy.org that it looks like Suck.com is gone and may be gone forever. That would be a real shame because, as I have said before, a lot of what’s great about the web can be traced directly back to Suck.com.

about the news that broke last weekend that the US has been spying on American citizens without warrants or other judicial oversight for some time on the authority of the President alone. There are few commentaries better than Scott Rosenberg’s blog post that he published yesterday, if you’re interested in trying to figure out what this is all about.
that the Liberals leaked a memo about how the Liberal outlook is grim in Quebec? This is precisely the message they want to get out – and that Duceppe is kindly helping the Liberals deliver.
Quebec voters have always been the most strategic voters in Canada. They have constantly demonstrated that they will not let ANY party or leader get too big for his/her boots. So for the Liberals this may in fact be the hail mary strategy – convince everyone that the Bloc is going to win an unprecedented number of seats in Quebec and sit back and hope that voters moderate that in their favour.
Goodness knows they can’t actually get their own message out, so this could be the only option at this point for the Liberals in Quebec.
