On time-savers

Sure, Dan Cook has come under plenty of criticism for his efforts to dismiss the anti-prorogation movement. But let's give Cook credit for this much: his take on the issue looks to have given him the easiest blogging job in the country - as he's now reached the point of contrasting "grassroots fury" with points that don't have anything to do with grassroots choices.

But let's help him out even more by writing his next few weeks worth of equally nonsensically dismissive posts. Coming soon to a Dan Cook Blogolitics post near you...

Grassroots Fury? Parliament Reconvenes

Self-defeating

Dan Cook has fixed his faulty math, but seems to be continuing with a drumbeat of condescension toward Canadians outraged over Stephen Harper's prorogation. And not surprisingly, Harper's minions seem to be eager to echo the theme.

But is there any message more likely to actually keep the group in the news and expanding - or better yet, turn its current Facebook supporters toward more concrete action - than a consistently dismissive tone of "bah, your opinion doesn't count"?

Update: A warm welcome to readers who have found their way here through CAPP's links page. And for those wondering, the more concrete action mentioned above is highly recommended.
