THE B.C. Liberals handily defeated the NDP on Tuesday while staving off the numerous polls and surveys that pointed to the party's demise. The election gave the Liberals 50 seats, although Vancouver-Point Grey voters declined Premier Christy Clark a place to sit. The Liberal's edge in the popular vote is virtually unchanged from the previous two elections despite polls that gave the NDP a 19-point lead just months before election day. Are the sample pools too small, the respondents too unreliable, or has call display rendered the modern poll obsolete?

There be Monsters
In the first chapter we met the gang at Camp Winnatuka. The fearless Tabitha swore there were monsters just north of Lake Anatoga. As always, Rufus didn't believe her. Meanwhile Fres stayed quiet, and Henry didn't quite know what to think. Last we heard, Tabitha promised she could find a map that would lead them to the monsters. Now dear reader, on to chapter two.
