Quote of the Day

This comes from a bumper sticker. "Even on drugs, Rush is right". For those of you who don't know the Rush here is Rush Limbough of the WABC in New York. but that's my quote of the Day.

Coalition of idiots

CBC.ca reports that Canadian member of Parliment (MP) Carolyn Parrish (Liberal-Mississauga--Erindale, ON) has called the American government a "coalition of idiots". This is the same MP who called the American government "bastards" when the US government decided to go to war in Iraq. Another liberal, another idiot, another issue the liberal Canadian government has with the conservative American government. Member Parrishs comments came regarding "Star Wars" missile defense, that the US is again exploring. And for those of you who don't know I am a dual citizen of Canada and the US but I do not like the current nor 12 years previous government of Canada.

Day 12

Night falls on Day 12...it's time for your daily medal count USA 75, Russia 53, China 52. Canada now has 7 medals and is 19th overall. Israel wins their first ever gold medal in windsurfing. Canada advances in Canoeing and Kayaking events to finals placing very high. Of course the Paul Hamm controversy continues although news has died down on it slightly. More to come...

Day 11

For some reason yesterday's medal count didn't ever publish. Here is your daily medal count and Canadian update. Overall medal count: USA, China, Russia. Canada gained two medals today, a gold and silver. They also lost a medal in one event (I'll explain that in a bit). Lori-Ann Muenzer won Canada's first ever indoor cycling gold medal beating a Russian in a best of three race. Alexandre Despatie pulled it out on his final dive to grab the silver medal in the 3m springboard event in Athens. In other news Canada's Perdita Felicien, a one hundred meter hurdler, fell at the start of her race. She was the favorite to win the race. More on this story and all of these at cbc.ca/olympics.
On another note, I feel sorry for United States gymnast Paul Hamm. He's facing a lot of pressure to give up his All-Around gold medal because of a judging error. Keep it Paul, they can give out two, it's been done before.

More evidence the Pres. can't do anything right

I hold in my hot hands (ok, it's on my screen and my hands aren't warm right now) a document showing how the president can't do anything right. My Way news (curtosey of Drudge Report) tells the whole story. It deals with the "attack" ads that a group called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth". Sen. John Kerry, has asked the President to take the commercial, which disagrees with Sen. Kerry's positions, to take it off the air. UMMMMM....I believe there is a right to the Freedom of speech in this country. For those of you who don't know it's the First Amendmant of the Constitution of the United States. I'm not saying anything else on this at least. On the way, your Olympic update.
