Caroline Mulroney, daughter of Brian Mulroney, diving into Ontario politics

Americans have the Bushes and Kennedys, in Canada...


Move over, Trudeaus. There's another Canadian political family working on its dynasty.

CBC News has learned Brian Mulroney's eldest child, Caroline, is poised to jump into the political arena.

Sources tell CBC News that Mulroney wants to run for the Ontario Progressive Conservatives in the next election and is hoping to secure a party nomination in the Greater Toronto Area. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss Mulroney's plans.

Mulroney attracted attention last weekend when she appeared as one of the masters of ceremonies at the federal Conservative leadership convention. During her speech to introduce the candidates, she poked fun at the current prime minister, wondering aloud why someone would want to run for their dad's old job.

What's Donny Trump doing this weekend?

The same thing he's done most weekends since taking office...

Playing golf! Well, excuse me, just because he's hanging out at a golf resort doesn't mean he's actually playing golf. So says Sean Spicer at a few press conferences. My bad!

Avatar Over-Reliance Syndrome, or AORS

I suffer from it at times. I'll open a thread on the DU and read the OP and some responses and all of a sudden someone contradicts themselves, a complete 180 to what they wrote up-thread.

Then I go back and check the names. Oh, it was a different person who just happens to use the same avatar as someone else!!

Do you suffer from AORS too sometimes?

KC Chiefs release Jeremy Maclin

He was hampered by injuries last season and KC was looking to save some cap space. He'll get a shot somewhere, I'm sure.
