Good one

In boxing, that's called leading with your chin.

Eric Sorenson, the CBC reporter, comes up with a nice way to characterise the Liberal response to the Conservative election promise.

"Don't give people 25 bucks a week to blow on beer and popcorn," Reid said during a panel discussion on CBC News: Sunday. "Give them child-care spaces that work. Stephen Harper's plan has nothing to do with child care."

For what it's worth, I think that Mr. Reid's statement really does state clearly the Liberal Party's viewpoint on who is competent in our society. It's not an issue of whether the government can be more effective in spending our money, it's whether there is such a creature as a citizen.
