Bubblegum Stuck to the Bed Sheets

In an unexpected move, the Toronto Sun has given Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla an opportunity to tell her side of the story after several weeks of highlighting her indiscretions. Dhalla testified before a parliamentary committee yesterday to defend herself against allegations that she forced her hired help to shine shoes, do the laundry, and scrub floors – what is it again that Nannies are hired for?

Instead, Dhalla painted a picture of luxury (Toronto Star), describing the 1500 square foot basement that was given to the Nannies, furnished with a 60-inch flat-screen TV. Good thing she specified it’s a “flat-screen” television. Imagine how the parliamentary committee would have judged her had she told them that she provided a 60-inch cathode ray tube (CRT) television? She’d be impeached.

In other news, Mike Strobel’s “Moonlight Ladies” column is gaining traction with a dedicated tab on the homepage. We’ll see if this tab is permanent. Strobel’s “In praise of older women” column discusses how it’s not just older men who are into Moonlight ladies; younger guys dig them too: “They see less likelihood of PMS or finding bubblegum stuck to their bedsheets”. Thanks for the visual Mike.
