Sunday Funnies

This past week there were two dominant stories running in the Canadian media that kept editorial cartoonists busy. The federal Minister of Natural Resources left secret documents in - of all places - a network's parliamentary TV studio. Despite calls for her resignation she wasn't fired. Her 26 year-old political aide was. Meanwhile, General Motors filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and through the American and Canadian federal governments taxpayers poured in millions of dollars to save it...

Love the new Header.. perhaps if we shoved a binkie in GM's mouth, they'd be too busy sucking too keep opening that mouth for yet another hand out.

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.

If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
