Reader Tips
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Thursday night wild-card show, here are Ian Dury and The Blockheads performing Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3 (1979, 4:46).
Nota Bene: I’m modifying the SDA LNR schedule slightly, as follows. Firstly, starting last week, Saturday night will, at least for the next some months, now be our Distinguished Lecture, Documentary & Interview show. Secondly, our old Saturday night contemporary music show has been merged into our Thursday night wild-card show (which already contains country, folk, comedy, and miscellanea), thus explaining tonight’s show. Our other shows remain as currently scheduled: Sunday is classical music, Monday is jazz, Tuesday is vintage music, Wednesday is DJ EBD, and Friday is old-time radio.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

Drunk Drivers Need A Better Press Agent, Redux
Remember this great moment in race-based justice the next time a drunk annihilates a family on a provincial highway, and the cry goes up (again) for “stiffer sentences”.
A Saskatchewan man whose two young daughters froze to death after he drunkenly dragged them outside on a frigid winter night last year will face an aboriginal sentencing circle, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Christopher Pauchay’s lawyer had asked that his client’s punishment for criminal negligence causing death be considered by a sentencing circle rather than a single judge.
“I have concluded that a sentencing circle is appropriate in these circumstances,” said Judge Barry Morgan in a decision Wednesday, noting the sentencing circle hearing will be open to the public.
Because alcoholism is a disease! Except when you drive.
(Now remember – demanding equal justice for dead little aboriginal girls makes you a racist!)
Restorative Justice Trivia: Christopher Pauchay has 51 priors.

Good evening, welcome to SDA Late Night Radio.
On New Year’s Day, after more than a thousand cars were set on fire in France, mostly in the, how you say, banlieues, French security forces described the previous evening as having been ‘rather calm’ and ‘without major incident.'” Oui, tout va tres bien, tres bien, cela n’est rien.
Tonight, for your delectation, we present a musical tribute to the certain je ne sais quoi that has had a huge effect on Canadian politics, particularly on our government contracting….procedures. I am referring, of course, to the Gallic shrug. So without further ado, here’s Ray Ventura et ses Collegiens performing Tout Va Tres Bien, Madame La Marquise.

With the notable exception of Mr. Zed, Mr. Ignatieff’s inner circle thus far appears to be top-heavy with Torontonians, most of whom played key roles in the Toronto MP’s two leadership campaigns.
He’s lived outside the country all of his life. How many people can he know?

One Man’s Jew Hater Is Another Man’s Liblogs Member
Via Ezra, who finds similar sentiments elsewhere on the roll.
Look: a small part of me loves this. The raw partisan within me is rejoicing at seeing the embarrassing degeneration of the Liberal Party.
And that’s where Ezra and I part company.
A large part of me loves this.
