Blame Canada!

I turned on the TV last night to see three Canadian Clowns spouting their views on USA/Canada relations and George Bush (They all thought he is a lousy President - surprise!) As I listened to them bitch I realized that I don't even know who the new PM of Canada is and don't really care - FYI his name is Paul Martin.
Mark Kingwell (one of the Clowns) pointed to the selection of Tommy Douglas as the Greatest Canadian as proof that our two countries don't share the same baseline values. Boy, you can say that again. Perhaps if the US had elected Henry Wallace as our President in 1948 we would be have less conflict with our neighbors to the north, but thank God that didn't happen.
Other great Canadians lionized in the CBC contest were Lester Pearson and Pierre Trudeau - the airwaves in the great white north need FOX News ASAP.

Well? Blame Canada! Blame Canada!It seems that everything's gone wrong since Canada came along..Blame Canada! Blame Canada!They're not even a real country anyway.

Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Total Eclipse

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
