@Fournier
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I totally agree. The Habs looked, well, dominant last night. They played the Bruins game (physical and hard hitting) and still out shot them by a wide margin and won 4-1. They weathered Price's predictable 1st period jitters and for the rest of the game he looked rock solid.
It's weird to be the favourite isn't it? I've grown accustomed to les habitants being the underdogs that every win has me boucing in my seat with glee. Last night I was left with a "yep, they spanked 'em like they shoulda". Not that I'm complaining, but it's different.
Habs in Five (Thomas steals one) and on to round 2!
cheers!
p.s. I used to have a family friend from Saint Hyacinthe with the last name Fournier...Seeing your name always reminds me of that guy :)

but Smith
[Read the article: My last word (for now) on sexism]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]fair enough, but that's not what you asked :)
"Let me know when you find photograhpic evidence of Obama attending an anti-war rally."
but point taken, quite frankly I don't think there is a single politician in the United States that can be justifiably anti war/anti military. As an outsider who visits family regularly in the States, the level of militarism in your society quite frankly disturbs me. I still boggle at going to a Rock Festival in Philadelphia and seeing one of those big fake rock climbing thingies sponsored by the US Army. It was a ROCK concert...The Strokes!?! That kind of thing just doesn't happen where I'm from (Canada). The popularity of the military exhibits at the few county fairs I've been to also disturbs me...I get the impression that militarism is damn near ubiqitous by now...it's serves as a stark reminder that there are real differences between my country and yours.
So what does that leave us with? Well, shading really. No politician can be 100% Dove, so which one is best? Out of these three I really can't see how anybody can argue for somebody other than Obama.

[Read the article: Obama and the white working class]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
She said "fine"
And then in 30 seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you"
Well what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do"
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said "pretend you've got no money"
but she just laughed
and said "oh you're so funny"
I said "Yeah
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure
you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with common people like me?"
But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
because there's nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along although they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite you and never warn you
Look out
they'll tear your insides out
'cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks
it's all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease
will come out in the bath
You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright
whilst you can only wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'cause when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your dad he could stop it all
yeah
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance and drink and screw
'because there's nothing else to do
I want to live with common people like you.....
