Liberals, When The Fruit Is Ripe!

So voters are fruit, ripe for the picking, according to Dion.

Is there a risk of eating poisonous berries?
According to How to Survive in the Woods for 3 Days: "white and yellow berries are poisonous 90% of the time, blue and black berries are good to eat 90% of the time (however, deadly nightshade berries [see photo] are dark blue or black and they taste sweet, but a couple can kill you fairly quickly)

Liberals to assess best odds, Dion says

The Liberals will judge coming confidence votes in Parliament on their own self-interest and their shot at victory in the ensuing election, leader Stéphane Dion said yesterday.

"We will determine the timing of the election when we will have the best odds of winning," he said in an interview that will run on the French-language TVA network tomorrow.

"It's rare that the population wants an election, but we can feel it when the fruit is ripe. And at that time - it's not up to me to tell you when; it's part of the strategy that we keep close to our chest - there will be an election."

Can it be any clearer that the Liberals are not interested in what is best for Canadians, just best for them? Dion might as well have said they are, "entitled to their entitlements". I predict that we won't be going to an election anytime soon.

Living with Poisonous Plants

Some plants found in our yards and gardens produce fall berries that look tempting, especially to small children, but are dangerous to eat.

Unfortunately, the words POISON and TOXIC too often create fear when they should suggest a warning.

Pick your fruit carefully Dion.
