Peccavimus

November 25, 2006 (still C.E.)

Or, peccavi, for those who are offended.

Last week, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

• a tiny, not-so-perfect Finance Minister implied that, for accounting purposes, it is permissible to talk about doing things you are not supposed to do with money that doesn't belong to you so long as you don't actually do those things, and

• the Supreme Court of Canada also concluded it's permissible to have bad thoughts so long as one doesn't act on them (too much).

The irony! the irony!

Lenny B, we need you.

And still gone walkabout, but I couldn't resist the (in)congruity.
