A Confederacy of Procedural Wonks Interesting piece in the Globe this morning on the trio of procedural strategists working to alternatively prop-up/bring down the Libs.

Particularly interesting is the story of 40-year veteran Jerry Yanover. Single, baseball-loving and the proud owner of a Norwich Terrier named Blues, Yanover is the resident expert on all things boring. As he should be...he's been doing under 12 different Liberal house leaders.

Fascinating how the health of the political system is reflected by those in prominent positions. A vibrant, solution-oriented parliament is helmed by visionary leaders, while a fractous morass of naked ambition chooses a procedural guru as its champion.

Good times.  ¶ 10:52 a.m.
