Kim Kardashian one...classic. Not that the others aren't good, but that one stands out in this week's pile for me. :)

Heh heh. Many of them stood out for me. The presidential candidate summaries All This All That and Kris Humphries will one day realized how blessed he was!

And seriously? We've reached 7billion? I guess the condom industry has a NEW motto: Condom FAIL.

Or is that MTV show 16 and Pregnant encouraging copulation/population?

hee hee

Nicely done Dufus. As always.

Funny as always. I think the Kardashian one is my favorite.

I'm amazed at how much attention is paid to what Kim Kardashian does. She's another Paris Hilton. I mean who cares?

One of my favourites was the Cain pizza cartoon. That was by a cartoonist for the Toronto Sun. Funny and witty.

In terms of favourites I'm partial to the two Canadian ones about Canada changing it's national symbol from the beaver. It' such a silly idea and the 2nd cartoon by the Montreal Gazette's Aislin demonstrates that.

I didn't even know about the beaver thing until I saw this post. (That sentence could easily be taken completely out of context) I love Aislin's take on it.

I'm not going to touch that one (speaking of taking sentences out of context). Anyway, maybe we should thing about this. I mean, after all, who wants Jerry Mathers as a national symbol.

My Back Pages - November

I read five books last month bringing my year to date total to 61, well past the 50 I estimated at the beginning of the year. And I've yet to get through December.

The month started out with The Nix, the debut novel by Nathan Hill which has been receiving a lot off positive reviews. In it Hill flips back and fourth from the 1968 Chicago protests and 2011 in a desperate search for the truth behind why his mother abandoned him at an early age. In between Hill takes on politics, the media and addiction as well as other aspects of society. It's a well-spun tale and I quite enjoyed reading it.

Next up was the auto-biographical I Am Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame. This was somewhat of a scattered affair but an interesting read nonetheless. Wilson - or his ghostwriter - however is no Hemingway.

Then it was on to one of my favourite authors, Ian Rankin and his latest tale of now retired Inspector John Rebus, Rather Be The Devil. I never tire of these stories and this is the 21st in …

Traveling Along Singing A Song

Pete and Paulie were strolling along one day. The sun was bright, the air was cool, the birds chirped crazily in the trees and the squirrels  munched merrily on their nuts. Well not their nuts exactly. Nuts they found on the ground and in the gardens in the park.

Paulie felt so good he began to whistle. It wasn't any tune in particular, just one of those annoyingly tuneless whistles that wandered all over the place. Pete looked at Paulie and he squiggled up his nose and he said "What the hell is that?" Paulie replied "Oh nothing in particular. I'm just happy." "But you're not even whistling a tune" said Pete. Paulie replied "If you're so wise I'd like to see you do better, Pete."

Pete went silent for a moment and seemed to mumble to himself for a moment or two. Then he cleared his throat with a little cough, he opened his mouth and he began to sing.
