Remind Me: What Are The Standards Of Guilt By Association Practices?
Barack Obama made an impassioned speech last night disowning the statements of a cab driver in Yonkers who 20 years ago gave him a ride to a hotel. “Tell you the truth, I don’t even remember Robert Justin,” Obama told a large crowd in Squawdunk, Indiana. “However, I want to make it clear that his terrible remarks do not represent my positions on…well, anything, really, nor do they represent the positions of anybody on my campaign, anybody I’ve spoken to in the last five years…or anybody halfways sane. Now, if we can get back to discussing the econo –”
We’ll be replaying Robert Justin’s remarks 27 times over the next hour. Before we get to that, however: pundits – how dissatisfied were they with Obama distancing himself from Justin? “Was Obama sincere in his denunciations of this out of control cabbie?” Pastor John Hagee told CNBC’s Chris Matthews. “Who knows? I mean, I’m not a mind-reader. What I do know is: Obama needs to spend less time with his Jewish banker friends and focus on the concerns of regular – and, I mean, white – Americans!”

What Are We Teaching The Children? – No Longer A Question, More Of An Urgent Social Issue
It’s the video game they don’t want you to play! The video game you don’t want to play! The video game you must play!
In the first installment, the Harris government stole the Greater Toronto Area’s car and proceeded to wreak havoc throughout the province with it. In the second, a kinder, gentler Martin government ignored it. In the third installment, Stephen Harper’s government beat the crap out of the Greater Toronto Area, then went on a booze and prostitutes spree. Now, the Greater Toronto Area is back for revenge and nothing can stop it!
GTA IV – the game your parent governments don’t want you to play – get it today!

Bill Of Wrongs
All those peaceniks and America-haters who harp incessantly on the death toll in Iraq are missing the bigger picture. Sure, more troops may have died last month than in over a year, but what you fail to realize is that in the past month 129,327 American soldiers in Iraq did not die. Furthermore, almost 29 million Iraqis have not been killed in the war, and over 26 million have not been made refugees.
Suck on those metrics, peace-lovers!

We Khalid And Mugabe Will Follow
Asadullah Khalid was set to leave his post as governor of Kandahar Province before Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier called for his ouster. Since then, nobody is sure what message Khalid’s departure would send, but they’re all agreed that it would be a bad one, so, for the time being, his job is safe.
Zimbabwe’s Robert Mugabe is rumoured to desperately want a meeting with Bernier.

Then, You Do This To Somebody Around Your Little Finger…No, Wait…
A spring riddle:
You may inherit this, but if you break it, you will be gone with it. If you are blowing in it, you could be left twisting in it, or, in the worst case, dust in it. What is it?

I Drive To The House Of My Neighbour Across The Street To Show I Care About The Environment
Last week, my doctor warned me that if I didn’t lighten up, my heart, lungs, liver, spleen and duodenum would leave my body in protest.
But, how can I lighten up when environmentalists like Chris Goodall argue that taking the car for short distances is better than walking, because the energy that goes into producing the food we eat and burn when we walk is greater than the energy we would use to drive.
Listen up, eco-idiot asshole! We would eat that food regardless of whether we walked or not! We’re just like that. Do you seriously believe anybody says to themselves: “Gee, I have to go to the store after dinner, I better eat an extra drumstick so I’ll have the energy?” No! We eat that extra drumstick because we’re pigs! I mean, shit, by this way of thinking, the best thing we could do for the environment is starve to death!
Where’s my Tums? I NEED TUMS!
