The electorate have opted for change, but not much.  The voters have given Harper a "show me" minority government.  He gets one chance to prove to the people that he's not a scary, radical, bible-belt wingnut from Alberta.  If he wants to get in any of his more radical platform issues, he should probably act early rather than later, since it sounds like the Liberals will be going through a leadership change, and they'll be reluctant to force another election when they have no leader.

And now for the dumbest thing you'll likely read today.  The word "asinine" barely begins to describe this.

Knocking on Heaven's door

My priest is pushing 52.  That's still a long way from 60, but she got there a lot faster than my warlock.  It helps that I knew what to expect on a lot of the quests this time through, and I've also become better at handling them even when I don't know what to expect.  Practise makes perfect, I suppose.  It also doesn't hurt that I'm a solid guild, and as such I've manged to collect (or been handed) much better gear than my warlock ever saw.

Mind you, I can also build some pretty cool gear.  I've got both my mining and engineering up to 300.  In a couple more levels I'm going to start farming for the Arcanite Dragonling recipe.  Dragonlings are cool - especially when you release them and they go berserk at guild PvP events.  Well, the others didn't think that it was terribly cool, but that just made it amusing.

Wikipedia describes Oka as having "a pungent aroma and soft creamy flavour".

Pungent?  Pungent?!

Let's be blunt, this cheese smells like ass.  This is the most vile-smelling thing I have ever brought to work in my lunch.  If you were put a boated zombie through a giant press, I think this is the smell that you could expect.  I nearly gagged when I unwrapped it.

On the other hand it tastes nice - very mild flavour (and I can almost stand the smell in here now since I shaved off the rind and threw it in the garbage out in the hall).
