Sunday Funnies

The world's leaders gathered in Copenhagen to discuss the environment over the last two weeks. Arriving by private jets and travelling in private limos did little to reduce the carbon footprint. Canada was recognized appropriately for it's climate change efforts, winning the Colossal Fossil Award. This dubious honour is bestowed upon the nation that has won the most Fossil of the Day Awards throughout the conference.

Delegates had further reason to question Canada's commitment to climate change when documents were leaked that indicated the federal government would go easy on the oil and gas sector, in terms of emissions, particularly Alberta's oilsands operations. Political cartoonists didn't limit their emissions.

Oh, and since this is our last Sunday Funnies before the big day - Merry Christmas!

What a bunch of crap. Too bad they all could not have had engine failure in their large private jets while flying back home.

I agree with Don, what a bunch of crap!

Couldn't they have skyped the meeting? Still a footprint, but not as large as the one they've left?

What a joke!

Don: What's worse is they came away with a so-called "deal" with no limits, no deadlines and that wasn;t binding. How much money was spent to hold this conference that came up with nothing?

Me-Me: Stooges? More like the Keystone Cops!

Quirks: They should put you in charge, my dear!
Sadly, it was a great week for political cartoons... again!

Cat Lady: That's a great way to sum it up CL.

Great stuff... Yes, the whole conference was just one giant bullshit fest... much like so-called health care reform.

Bitter - party of one.

I agree, the conference was a waste of time and money. Perhaps we would all do well to lower our expectations in believing our political leaders
care, or are in it for any more than just the money.

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
