There are no prodigal sons, let alone daughters.
Are they reincarnated Inquisition folk? Get thee behind me, Satan! They follow the golden rule just so long as it works in their favour.
The Harper Conservatives are close-minded and hate-based as many of their perceived enemies.

New 777 freighter assembly feted
At Tuesday's event, a crane hoisted aloft the pieces of one wing spar destined for the Air France freighter. These were to be loaded that evening into the assembly tool, where another spar was already in place. Spar production manager Bob Young — enthusiastic about his crew's role in producing "the backbone of the wing" on the 777 — took reporters up inside the "automated spar-assembly tool." A long row of precisely located metal clamps and teeth hold the 118-foot-long spars in place from above and below as an automatic machine moves along its length drilling 5,418 holes and inserting fasteners. Later, spar-shop mechanics will drill a couple thousand more holes as they fasten flight control or engine supports to the spars. The 777 freighter program is already a success, with 80 firm orders.
State legislator named Grady's interim CEO
Christopher Edwards, the Grady board vice chairman, said Stephenson is "imminently qualified to run the state's largest public charity hospital... She is perfectly positioned to match the needs of the hospital administration with the needs and expectations of [the Grady board] during this transitional period." Stephenson said she will continue to serve as the Grady board chairwoman and it's unclear when the Grady board will begin the search for a permanent CEO. She is accustomed to 14 hour work days, Stephenson said, and she believes her appointment will give the hospital continuity in a time of change. She will be paid a salary, she said, but it's unclear whether she'll get the $600,000 a year Story was paid. Story did not return phone calls.
Homemaking makes a comeback
Kristal Manning's Italian grandmother taught her to make a mean red sauce and to never use paper napkins to serve guests. So Nonna would have been proud one recent morning when Manning prepared a breakfast of oat-grain banana pancakes. Round candles burned in the wall sconces of her Centerville home. The table was set with chiffon napkins in glittering holders, laid beside china and crystal. The whole house smelled faintly of cinnamon from the cookies Manning baked at 6 a.m. before settling in to talk about her love of homemaking, which she considers a lost concept for many of her generation. .
SUPE LOSS HAUNTS AMANI
That's why Big Blue's surprising wild-card run to this year's big game has been so satisfying for the soft-spoken pro. "Every year when you get eliminated, you think about whether you will ever get another shot - especially when you're watching the Super Bowl," Toomer said. "But this year was our turn. We deserve to be here, and we beat a lot of really great teams to get here." Toomer is locked in like a laser beam this week, thanks to the Ravens. "I'm more focused on the game making my experience a lot better this time," he said. "It's not a fun situation when you lose. I've had the bad experience - now I want to have the great experience." bhubbuch@nypost.com RELATED STORIES
