I guess I’ll just have to wait for the snow to start reeking havoc with our power grid to have the TV turn off itself.

Don’t worry, I’m not listening to him anymore. I turned up my music.

Now, to continue my letter to the CBC to complain about the influence of American politicians on our National broadcaster. What about the Canadian content? We need more HOCKEY!

The German government in Berlin later ordered the Somali pirates released because they were not caught while harassing German interests, according to BBC.

The only thing I can say is that I hope they released them into the waters about 15 miles off shore with cement boots on.

Reporting from inside _________ Airport where thousands of angry and frustrated travelers are stranded, this is __________ with ______ news. They aren’t getting the answers they need from Air Canada. _______ is trying to get from Montreal to Newfoundland. He gets put on a flight… it is cancelled, repeat.

Every year, the same old news broadcasters send out the same old reporters to cover the same old story. Let me help with some advice.

1. Don’t fly Air Canada. If another airline is too expensive, take the bus instead. You will probably arrive around the same time at your destination as the Air Canada flight will.
2. Winter doesn’t start in December in Canada. If you aren’t from around here, assume that it will start in September and will end some time in June. Ignore the season listings on your Calendar.
3. If you are wanting to travel during the Christmas season, give yourself an extra week to get there and an extra two weeks to get back.
4. You are flying at one of the busiest times of the season, expect long lines. Bring a friend and a deck of cards. The house of cards you build together will be as stable as the weather.
5. If you are interviewed by a news reporter, have fun with them. Pretend you are in the NHL and use some quality clichés about giving 110%. Repeat clichés regardless of the question asked.
6. Wear a “Global Warming, Please Start Here!” shirt. You’ll find out who you can’t trust really quickly. They’ll be the ones arguing with you, telling you that the awful weather is actually climate change and not winter.
7. If you are near the front of a line, invite someone near the back to go ahead of you. The thanks you get will be worth the whining from the other thousand people.

If you are in Canada, it isn’t unexpected to be stranded in an airport during a blizzard in December. It is also very normal for Air Canada to suck. Why in the world is that news?

Now lets see what you can do with the Kos kids wanting you to give them what you promised.

Also, can anyone else see a 22 year old Obama supporter asking all his friends why the reporter was writing that funny English?

Is Obamaism considered a cult yet?

Canada is on the whole a gentler, softer and more liberal nation — but there is also less freedom, opportunity, prosperity, competition and dynamism. Canada is well-loved by other nations — but the country has little diplomatic or military clout.

Personally, I would rather have Obama than Jack! but only if he comes in third place like Jack! I like Obama because he brings out the Hope and Change in the left rather than the regular despair and complaining. Sorta.

OMG.

The only way Dion can show backbone is to step down as head of the Liberal Party and let Ignatieff step up. How the Liberal Party could even have decided that Mr. Dion is the man is beyond me.

Yes, I voted Liberal but only because any other vote could have given the Conservatives a majority. Pretty sad isn’t it.

Umm… didn’t the delegates choose Dion because any other vote would have given Ignatieff the win? The left is so busy voting against the boogeyman that they elect the default.
