A few links that I found interesting or amusing:
- It was 70 years ago today. Then: “Parliament will decide.” Now: “we require that military deployments … be supported by the Parliament of Canada.” Chalk one up for Mackenzie King, as he was right then and Stephen Harper is right to follow his precedent.
- Let’s all hear it for “Open Mike” Duvall, former California Republican state representative. Everyone needs standards, and Duvall sets a very low one indeed.
- The Minnesota Vikings cut WR Bobby Wade (in spite of him having taken a big pay cut to stay with the team this season) and replace him with former Philadelphia Eagles/New England Patriots WR Greg Ellis (who played for Brad Childress).
- Wi-Fi Isn’t the Best Way to Network…Right?
- The CBC shocks us all . . . and decides to broadcast a program that offends certain groups in Quebec.
- Two Royal Marine officers traverse the Northwest Passage in an open boat.
- Thinner is not cheaper: the paternalistic urge to get us all to lose weight won’t make healthcare any less expensive.
Oh, and last, but not least, “The Guild” Season 3, Episode 2 (belated H/T to Ghost of a Flea for bringing it to my attention):
Hmm. A less than inspiring episode of The Guild. Looks like they spent the whole 99 cents I paid for Date My Avatar on iTunes on this episode.
I’m glad to have helped.
Humph.
