Minister forced to apologize over Listeria jokes

"This is like a death by a thousand cuts. Or should I say cold cuts," Ritz quipped after fretting about the political dangers of the crisis.

And when told during the conference call about a new death in Prince Edward Island, Ritz remarked: "Please tell me it's Wayne Easter."

Easter, the Liberal MP for the P.E.I. riding of Malpeque, is his party's critic shadowing Ritz's Agriculture Department.

There's been a lot of apologizing in the Harper camp lately, no?

******************************************************************************

Let me say that I don't see Mister Anchovy's as a political blog. I'm not covering the election. I don't belong to any political party. I do however, weigh in from time to time when I simply can't resist comment.

I'm getting very worried that those Harper characters are going to win the upcoming election. There is a possibility that they might even gain a majority government. They have mostly run a do-nothing government over the past couple years, working in a minority situation. Now we see Mr. Harper trotted out in nice sweaters trying to convince us that he is a moderate. My father used to say, "Son, people are like horses. If you want to know what they'll do, read the Racing Form". I am very afraid that with a majority government, Harper and his gang will slide far to the right before you can blink.

I say, look over your choices carefully and vote for anyone but the Conservative candidate in your riding.
