But she just keeps churning them out...
The note starts out innocently enough, with felony chief Mike Trent praising the work of prosecutor Rob Freyer for convincing a "weak jury" to give a man a stiff sentence for intoxication manslaughter.
"He overcame a subversively good defense by Matt Hennessey that had some Canadians on the jury feeling sorry for the defendant and forced them to do the right thing."
Now, some of you may wonder what "some" Canadians were doing on a Harris County jury, and why they were suspected of sympathizing with this particular defendant.
That's right. Lisa Falkenberg has stumbled across the "Canadian" controversy.
Almost two weeks, after some local bloggers and local television stations discovered the same.
Two weeks, and not a single hat-tip or mention of the bloggers that discovered this tidbit. Not even a "thanks" to fellow MSM member Isiah Carey.
Two weeks.
You'd think after five straight columns on the matter Ms. Falkenberg could have brought herself current eh?

Dude. You seem surprised. What else do you expect out of her at this point? ;)
Also, why do I have a feeling that soon I'm going to have to start saying "Canadian citizens" or "expatriate Canadians" or "people that are actually from Canada" soon in order to qualify any statements about Canadians as non-racist?
Sadly, I'm not surprised.
When it comes to the Chron columnsists I'm not surprised by anything any longer.
I just like pointing it out.
As for "Canadians". I'm going to rely on the standard boilerplate:
"...and I mean that in the "north of the border" sense of the word rather than the "disgraced DA E-mail" definition."
If we let Chuck Rosenthal change how we use the term "Canadians" the terrorists will have won! :D
