#1 What he meant to say was "I am a total ass hat and have been told in no uncertain terms to drop this if I want to keep my job and comfortable life."

#2 Did anyone get run over when Mayor Elliot was in head-long retreat from his strong anti-war stance? He was probably against it before he was for it (or vis versa). I hope our northern cousins remember his statement come time for elections. Aint Democracy wonderful?

#3 Now a monument to the tens [or hundreds] of thousand of Vietnamese who didn't make it through the South China Sea in their escape attempts and the million and half Cambodians annihilated in the third Holocaust of the 20th Century would make a nice piece to remind people of the consequences of abandoning their fellow man to bondage and slavery. Then we can add a set for the millions of Ukranians and middle class Chinese who suffered a similar fate at the hand of the Communists in the Soviet Union and China. Not like there was any pattern to the behavior.

#6 His office was subsequently flooded with negative reaction, and heâs now singing a slightly different tune. "I made an innocent comment, off the cuff,ââ Elliot told the National Post. ââYes, I am a peace activist..."

Nothing more need be said. Once again, "peace activist" and "idiot" prove to be interchangeable.

#7 Interesting story in today's NYTs on Canada and what is being called its "pessimistic" outlook and emaciation of its national character. Intellectuals are gnawing and wincing over the lost of importance and standing in the world. Of course, they blame all of this on its proximity to America but falsely equate that inferiority as the same as Belgium has being so close to France. Actually the Flemish population in Belgium laughs at France and is more determined to not be anything like them and also not anything like their Dutch cousins. But the article is interesting in that it concludes that you need more than a single-payer health system and hockey to be a world power. They don't even have hockey this year and their health system is in the tank.

#8 Ah, yes, that world-class health system that would be ditched by the public if they couldn't go around it for surgery and other procedures in the US.
