We are about to have a non-confidence vote in parliament. Which means (almost 100%) an election.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bleh, msbelle. Good luck.
Sue, I'm still kind of boggled about how other places don't actually have the national elections just scheduled on a regular basis. It seems stressful! Except for the shorter campaign period, which sounds awesome.

Well, in Canada, it doesn't happen all that often. I think the last time was in the late 1970's, or early 1980's. First, there has to be a minority gov't, and even when a minority gov't is elected, they usually make deals with another party to keep them in power.
BTW, the gov't just fell on a vote of non-confidence and was found in contempt of Parliament.
The shorter election times are great. They're saying this election will be either May 2 or 9. American politicians always seem to be campaigning for the next election. There have been a lot of campaign style political ads for the past month.

That article about TV super-geniuses detailed pretty much all of my complaints about Numb3rs. He doesn't just know everything about his own field of math -- he knows everything about ALL math.

I was wondering how many people would get the connection there.

Sue,
you seem rather calm about this all. So, does this mean screaming in the streets or because you all are Canadian, it is just more orderly?
