Enjoy,Of Course, He Lost Hundreds When He Was Conscious, So He’s Actually Ahead
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon opened his eyes, sang two verses of the Barnes and Barnes novelty song “Fish Heads” and played poker with hospital workers for two and a half hours (losing a buck fifty). Then, he returned to a coma.
His doctors said not to read too much into Sharon’s actions, which they referred to as “merely a reflex.”

Put Him In The Chair And Let Him Frey!
Okay, so, a guy named James Frey writes a memoir about his criminal activities called A Million Little Pieces and sells a gazillion copies after he appears on Oprah. Good for him. Except his criminal activities weren’t really so criminal; in fact, he was kind of a pussy, really.
He lied in his book of non-fiction, and Oprah stands by him, because it “got at a larger truth.” Well, I can lie with the best of them, and I’m not getting any invitations to be on Oprah. I sold American nuclear secrets to Togo. See? I’m a fantastic liar. Once I was the king of Spain. I love country music. That skirt really looks good on you.
Okay, I’m still working on the larger truth all my lies are supposed to be revealing, but, Oprah, baby, we can work on that together! CALL ME!

Your Bad Choices Are My Career Opportunities…
Okay, let me see if I’ve got this straight. We don’t have to fear Stephen Harper because he’s evolved into a moderate politician. But, even if he hasn’t, we don’t have to fear Stephen Harper because a Liberal-dominated Senate and judiciary will make sure he doesn’t do anything extreme. Except that he’s against “activist” judges – activist, in this case, defined as “judges whose decisions disagree with my politics” – and intends to appoint judges whose biases are close to his own.
Is this a great election campaign, or what?
Meanwhile, the Conservative candidate in the Willowdale riding has been distributing campaign literature in Chinese and Korean that has an anti-gay marriage message not contained in his English campaign literature. “That was a, uhh, translation mistake,” one campaign staffer stated. “It was actually supposed to read: ‘Please have our laundry done by nine o’clock the morning after we bring it in, or we will have to take our business elsewhere.”
No, it doesn’t get much better than this.
