A Heartfelt Display of Patriotism

You gotta have heart
Miles and miles and miles of heart
Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course
But keep that old horse before the cart
First you've gotta have heart
The media in Canada is all agog over Governor General Michaelle Jean eating raw seal heart. While visiting the Inuit village of Rankin Inlet in the northern territory of Nunavut Jean witnessed the carving of a seal and asked the locals if she could try the heart. She said she did it to show solidarity with seal hunters and said it is difficult to believe anyone would characterize the traditional hunting practices as inhumane. That may be so. But did she have to eat a seal's raw heart to prove her point?
Earlier this month the European Union called the seal hunt "inherently inhumane", voting to ban seal products.
Well, we certainly know where Canada's Governor General stands on this issue. There's been no reaction yet from Seal.

I'm sure I read somewhere that seals are made of tofu, so what's the problem?

So c'mon take another little bit of my heart now baby and everyone appreciates a tight seal and a properly functioning heart but raw organ meat is very bad for your body soul and spirit. just as bad as oprah promoting slave-range chicken meat versus-free range all pumped up on steroids--be a vegan love animals don't eat 'em don't beat 'em and especially don't beat and eat 'em.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
