	andrewcoyne.com: "There must be something that you want"
		Inky Mark, Conservative MP for Dauphin-Swan River, has gone public with claims that a Liberal cabinet minister offered him a job, perhaps as an ambassador -- "the suggestion was, there must be something that I want, right?" -- to step down as an MP.
		The Liberals don't deny talking to Mark, but counter that he was the one who raised the subject, angling for either a Senate seat or a diplomatic posting.
		I heard yesterday that Inky Mark was offered Manitoba's vacant Senate seat.  While I can't believe any Tory would take it, Inky's on the outs with Harper, is seen as a nobody in caucus, and has been passed over in the Manitoba hierarchy several times over.

		In what purported to be a hard news item, CBC reporter Julie Van Dusen said, "Inky Mark stuck to his story all day", implying rather strongly that the Conservative MP was lying when he alleged that he was offered a patronage post.
		Van Dusen seems surprised that Mark had not yet fessed up in the same manner that runaway bride, Jennifer Wilbanks had.

		There was a mark on the kitchen wall.

		You seem to present information in a disjointed way, too, in the second paragraph: you start with the unexplained growth, but then you move to the weather (and I took some time understanding what was the connection, because for me the outside weather should not have affected the inside of a kitchen).
