I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting really tired of CBC's constant stories about how the upcoming budget is going to run a deficit. My reaction is generally something along the lines of "no shit, Sherlock." Everyone and her dog knew that a deficit was coming, except for the Conservatives well before the failed fiscal update that triggered a constitutional crisis. CBC seems determined to try to scare people with horrible economy stories. It's very reminiscent of Fox News and it's fear factory approach to reporting.
My message to CBC: give it a rest. We know the economy is bad, and we know a deficit is coming. You need to stop telling us to be afraid, to be very afraid, and start treating the Canadian public like a group of rational adults (no matter that we may not behave like it sometimes).
On a positive note, the window for George Bush to pre-emptively pardon his torture-cronies is closing quickly. He's only got eighty-two hours left as Preident.
Days Remaining in Bush Presidency: 3

The partisan in me recalls that incumbents fair poorly in times of economic hardship. But you are correct, this is old news.
