  • Is the US media asking for a 'Mulligan'?

    I watched the Powell speech at the UN on Canadian television and flipped back and forth during the commentary afterwards to compare and contrast and it was like night and day.

    The overall tone on CBC was "you're kidding? you expect people to buy this?"

    Then I flipped over to CNN where the 'expert' panel of lobbyists, talking heads and right wing nuts were going off about immediate threats, terrorists, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR!!!

    Utter rubbish.

    Americans should be ashamed that they bought into this nonsense.

  • The British have bad teeth, but a great sense of humour

    If you don't believe in evolution, then you shouldn't be allowed to use anti-biotics.

    Bacteria, like all life, evolves. We get to see it in bacteria because a 1000 generations of bacteria can cycle within a matter of years.

    Eventually, the bacteria grows resistant to anti-biotics and adapts itself to survive what would have killed previous generations. Hence the need for newer forms of penicillin.

    There should be a test of faith for creationists, if they truly believe, then they shouldn't have a problem saying 'no' to antibiotics.

    Stupid bastards.

  • One more thing...

    Is there anything in that museum telling us how snakes lost the ability to speak? Did their vocal cords fall out when they left the garden?

  • I went to school in Kansas

    Heretics, the world is only 6000 years old, God created the caveman in the first 6 days. The reason why they're not around anymore is because they didn't get on the ark, just like the dinosaurs. They died in the flood that formed the Grand Canyon.

  • Strange foreigners

    In Canada, election campaigns last for less than 2 months.

    It's like they're from a different planet, those backward Canucks.

  • Do no harm

    So they circumvent the Geneva Conventions AND the Hippocratic Oath?

    Impeachment proceedings cannot start soon enough.

    I found myself reading the Declaration of Independence last week and was asking myself how many of the indictments against the King could be applied to Dubya.

    Funny how people call Bush stupid, yet he is still in power. Makes me wonder who the stupid people are.

  • Message from north of the border

    If Americans stopped acting like a bunch of pussies, Bush/Cheney could be in prison tomorrow.

    They are making you look stupid.

    I am a Canadian citizen of Egyptian descent who has stopped traveling to the US for this very reason. Every time I had been questioned by airport authorities when traveling to my company's head office in Chicago, I wonder if I will be singled out and made to disappear. My last trip was 11 months ago when I spent 13 hours in an interrogation room.

    When Maher Arar was sent to that hell hole to be tortured, we were all in there with him.

    The US needs to come clean on this to make sure this never happens again.

  • One small thing.

    Are Americans not tired of all the endless 24/7 election coverage?

    It's interesting theatre but shouldn't people be paying attention to what's happening in the world?

    Seems like election time is like American Idol for political junkies, it's all that exists in the world.

  • Thank God I live in Canada

    I don't know how Americans put up with this trash.

    Really boogles my mind.

    The Obama campaign is using the principles of tai-chi by using their opponents energy against them.

    When the Clinton's attack, the energy is refocused and sent against the attacker.
