The Invitation:
We had hoped to be unique in avoiding the omnipresent references to this weekend's major event - however, today's William Watson column in the Gazette, with its characterizations of Yoda-like Paul Martin and Darth Harper is too good to let pass.
And now Martin/Yoda the Princess Belinda of the Magna planet from the Separatists has rescued!

After last week's extensive discussion of the Jedi hopefuls, Wookiees, Droids , strategy and armaments preparing for the forthcoming galactic battle for Deathstar on the Rideau, in the company of Padawan Brian Mitchell, this week we welcome back our Wednesday Night Jedi Masters of the Dismal Science (would that be Economics, Globalization or Management?): Stephen Blank, Guy Stanley and Karl Moore for a survey of the rest of the galaxy, and the Publisher of the Daily Planet (aka Maisonneuve Magazine http://maisonneuve.org/index.php ), Derek Webster.

Do join us. And be sure to check http://www.wednesday-night.com/Wed1211.asp for links, bulletins and required reading.
