Still The Centre

Hard to imagine that only a few months ago Ontario considered itself the centre of the universe. Now, our Prime Minister is ashamed to even be seen with the Premier of Ontario. Wow! Our PM said to Ontario, "I thank you from the heart of my bottom." I guess that explicitly tells Canadians what Ontario is really the centre of. Of course, we here in the St. Mikes area have known that for years!

Shock And Awe

The crooked little cretin from Shewinnigate must have been under a tremendous amount of pressure to join the rush of countries to follow the most militarily and - more important- economically powerful country in the world into what was supposed to be a short and glorious war. A number of thinkers from the Fraser Institute have stated that if Jean Chretien had not been the Prime Minister, and if any other Canadian politician of that time had been the Prime Minister, Canada would also have become a part of the heroics!
Chretien had always worried about his legacy. Well, he ended up with a doozy! History will probably line up Bush and Blair alongside Hitler and Stalin, while Jean Chretien will be keeping company with the likes of Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Theresa.
Not many people are aware that the balls Chretien bared at the Gommery Commission were counterfeit; his own, however, have to be real and big and brassy! Someone once said that war is the very worst form of human communication. I only hope our present and future Canadian governments will always remember the lesson that was Iraq!

The French Poodle Pool

Man-oh-man! You just gotta love the Little French Poodle! He's the best thing to ever happen to the Cons. . . uh, Liberals. Yessir! Unfortunately, he may not last. In fact, here in the St. Mike's area a pool started and has grown by leaps and bounds. It works like this: Five bucks. . . Guess the year of the next Liberal leadership convention. (2007, 2008 0r 2009) Five bucks, guess the month of the year you chose. Five bucks, guess the new leader. My first $15 went like this: October, 2007, Kennedy. But of course there are the big spenders who entered three or even four times. So my next $15 was July, 2008, Kennedy. Now, you don't have to have every section correct. I could win a few bucks if I had the month and year correct, but Scott the Rot Brisson became the new Liberal leader. (Oh boy! The conservatives would love him too!)
Actually though, I'm hoping that little citizen of France sticks around for awhile; he's just so damn cute!

As plain as the. . .

Last week we were watching Calgary's David Gray finish up his newscast and because we were all involved with pizza and wine and greasy hands, nobody was able to change the channel in time to prevent "The Hour's" wannabe hippy with the booger in his nose from occupying the screen. Then we noticed the absence of booger. "Must have blown his nose." Somebody joked. "Nope," said our lady still in the loop, "The decorated one says he moved it down below, but that was not totally true. He tried to get the metal thingy out of his nose but couldn't, so, since the size and shape were so similar, he moved nose and all down into his pants!" Our hostess finally found the channel changer and the Puffy Duffy entered out midst. "So," she said, "that thing on his face is actually his. . . ?"
"Yep." Our girl in the know said, "and the CBC had to put a new urinal in every washroom in the building. . . at, uh, nose level."
"Must be awkward for the Hopalong Hippy though, eh?"
"Not necessarily. Remember that filthy habit he used to have? Well now he can just scratch that bump on his face anytime he wants."
"And when we see him with his hands deep in his pockets. . .?"
"He's just picking his nose."
