X Marks the Spot

Who says no one reads my blog?

Important people read it. Mississauga South MP Paul Szabo, for example, reads it, presumably after one of his assistants scans it to determine whether or not it's worth reading.

But not only did Szabo read my blog entry about Paul Szabo, he commented on it, too. Bloggers like nothing more than comments. Comments are the crack of the blogosphere.

And not only did Szabo comment on my blog entry about Paul Szabo, but he commented favourably about the time we spent talking to one another.

"It was actually a refreshing break to receive your call for an interview," he wrote.

This is remarkable because Szabo has, in the past, given this reporter the impression that the veteran MP can't think of anything more demeaning than answering my questions.

Anyway, he's totally my new BFF, and when the Ethics Committee returns to Schreiber tomorrow, then Mulroney on Thursday, I will be sitting in front of the television with my foam "Szabo #1" finger.
