As Warren Kinsella points out in his blog today, it's been exactly four years since the day Ernie Eves' campaign called Dalton McGuinty "an evil reptilian kitten-eater from another planet" during the 2003 election. I was in the media monitoring section of the Liberal war room that day, watching the story spread like a forest fire from one news outlet to another. By the time the evening news rolled in, that one turn of phrase had consumed and obliterated every policy statement made that day. It was bizarre and hilarious, and made us giddy for days.

It makes me wish I was back in the war room right now, exploding my head by trying to watch television, read news websites and listen to a talk radio station all at once. Those were fun times. *Sigh.* Back to the dissertation.

Ah yes - I was reading that today too. Made me laugh just remembering it.

Yes, and don't forget all the times you were working at Queen's Park wishing you were just a grad student again. ;)

Ah, the days of Precious....
