Aw hell...

Well, the National Post just can't seem to keep a good thing going. One day it's defiantly using the word "terrorist" when talking about...uh...terrorists. The next, it's letting Colby Cosh go...

I think Colby won all our hearts with this story. If you're too damn busy to read it, at least read the closing line:

When the world was young, and the government took 20% of your paycheque and gave you services that worked, you might be willing to remain what economists call "rationally ignorant" about the details. Now maybe 40% of that cheque vanishes, your mother's coughing blood in the hallway of the nearest ER, and your country has no army. And here comes the guy from the CBC telling you that his expense account should be a state secret. No sale, comrade.
