Mark doesn’t like our flag – and the party behind it.
On the other hand, an unflyable flag is perhaps the very essence of the concept of Canada. I say that in part because I’ve never really cared for the Maple Leaf. If I had my way I’d go back to the Red Ensign, but even on this doughty publication I’ll bet the chaps aren’t that conservative.
I like Frum’s entry on Martin – on how he says and does nothing.
First in his campaign for the prime ministership – and, amazingly, in the six months that have passed since he became prime minister – Martin has achieved a near-perfect record of avoidance of any stance on any issue whatsoever. He has introduced no significant legislation in parliament and delivered a series of speeches remarkable for the nearly perfect purity of their lack of content.
Since our government appears to be slave to the UN, perhaps they’ll do something substantive to encourage families and their prosperity.
Thus, if our government wishes to strengthen the Canadian economy, diminish social problems, and improve living conditions, it must recognize that strengthening the family is a primary means to achieve these objectives.
It appears the Globe column on Canadians trying to get Fox News has hit a nerve with some of the O’Reilly faithful:
To: Doyle, John
Subject: you are a [expletive]
Please don’t sleep on your side, because your tiny little brain will roll out your ear, you communist [expletive]
This is a rather communist/communal idea, but it sure is a good way to get current information.

A gentle remind to my mobile readers: parking in a live lane on the world’s busiest hiway at night can be lethal.
“The victim parked his white Pontiac in the right-hand live lane. A good Samaritan apparently stopped for help and warned the Pontiac driver that he was parked in a dangerous spot,” Woolley said.
The cruel reality is that Darwin was right.
To remind Torontonians that we are still relatively peaceful compared to the city at the end of the 401, we have this crime item:
Their eyes locked.
Then Barbara Holland saw the barrel of the gun.
She lay on the floorin her house after an intruder had knocked her down while pushing through her side door. While on her back, she drew a 9mm handgun from a holster on her waist.
Her assailant’s glare suddenly changed.
“He looked surprised,” Holland said.
Then she pulled the trigger.
In a related story, I had no idea the Detroit mayor had such a substantial security detail.
Currently, 21 Detroit police officers provide around-the-clock protection for the mayor and his family.
Anyone else see Alison Arngrim on LKL last night? She played Nelly on Little House on the Prairie ($US orders), and is now speaking out for a website called [url=http://www.protect.org]http://www.protect.org[/url] Apparently she was molested as a child (I’m glad it wasn’t Michael Landon or her father), so she decided to let it all out to the nation. Overall, I found her to be an excellent speaker, and therefore a good spokesman for the cause.
Clearly Simon makes the show for me and others – and he’s correct when he says that the voting is not racist, as the foolish Elton John said.
The result led British singer Elton John to comment on Tuesday that the American viewing public was “incredibly racist.”
Cowell responded with “a definite no” to the racist charge and added that votes are audited by an independent company.
Here’s a story that improves my impression of movie stars.
Big-screen tough guy Russell Crowe has come to the aid of the Jewish school in Montreal that was firebombed on April 5.
Here’s a day you won’t want to miss.
At 7pm cst July 31,2004, let all the people in the world unite as one and simultaneously flush our toilets together.
I wonder if the south hemisphere will cancel out the north hemisphere?
David Warren is glad Saddam’s gone, but isn’t optimistic for the government being cobbled together by Lakhdar Brahimi.
But the country IS now being returned to the cesspool of Middle East politics.
This is no stupid pet trick.
