Little Stick Diplomacy
IAN GOATMANSING: Canada has responded forcefully to the news that two Russian fighter planes were flying really close to its Arctic border.
ELMER “FUDD” MCKAY: Back off and stay out of our air space!
GOATMANSING: Russia has forcefully responded back.
UNNAMED RUSSIAN OFFICIAL: Frankly, this is a farce that I will not dignify by giving my identity.
GOATMANSING: The United States forcefully responded to Canada’s response.
HILLARY “DUFF” CLINTON: Uhh, back off the accusations, okay? We’re trying a new thing called “diplomacy” these days.
GOATMANSING: Canada forcefully responded to America’s response to Canada’s initial response.
MCKAY: Oh. Ah. Right. Sorry. Didn’t mean anything by it. So sorry. (pause) Ahem. And, let that be a lesson to you!
GOATMANSING: The Kremlin has stated that it will issue a response to the Canadian response to the American response to the initial Canadian response…just as soon as it stops laughing. Which, I suppose, is a response of its own.

Typical Single Issue Family Man…
A new study by Harvard University shows that Utah has the largest population of porn surfers of any state in the union. Utah. The home of the Mormon Church. I may have to rethink my opposition to Mitt Romney becoming the Republican presidential candidate in the next election.

We’re Not Saying You Necessarily Do It Well…
Two Orthodox Jewish schools that rent Toronto school board property owe back rent of nearly $1 million between them. I hope this will finally, finally lay to rest the racist belief that Jews control the finances of the world!

Giving Michael Steele The Bum’s Rush (Using Rush’s Bum)
The recent splits within the Republican Party are not difficult to understand. Michael Steele was all in Rush Limbaugh’s face about him being just an entertainer and sometimes saying outrageous things. And, Limbaugh was all, “Oh, no, you di’nt!” And, Steele was like, “Yeah, I, uhh, you know, kind of did.” And, Limbaugh was all, “Oh, bring it, bitch! I got millions of listeners – what you got?” And, then, Steele was like, “Oh. Yeah. Maybe I, like, was out of line.” And, Limbaugh laughed and was all, like, “Pussy.”
It’s not hard to understand. You just have to translate what Republicans say into normal English.

And, That’s About 10 Minutes Too Long
F&F. A sequel to Fa & Fu, which itself was a sequel to Fas & Fur, a sequel to Fast & Furious, a distant relative to The Fast and the Furious. On the one hand, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker seem to be phoning it in (literally, as in the scene where they’re driving down highways in different countries at 200 miles per hour bickering bickering with each other on their cells). On the other hand, in keeping with the public’s decreasing attention span, this feature film only lasts 12 minutes.

Gandhi Is Dandy, But Charles Time Gnarls
Six love letters scribbled by a young Prince Charles roughly 30 years ago drew outrage from India, a last-minute reversal from the seller and a frenzy of bidding won by an Indian conglomerate that said the pacifist leader’s possessions will be coming home.
The letters show a young prince enamoured with the young British-born Canadian while feeling the pressures of being royalty. The Indian government had protested the sale, saying the items should be returned to the nation and not sold to the highest bidder.

It Doesn’t Stimulate JUST The Economy…
3’s company, man) The Conservative government is asking Parliament for $3 billion as an immediate economic stimulus. It has not explained what it will spend the money on and has asked that the money be given without oversight. Why is it doing this?
a) remember when Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his priority was “making our government honest and transparent?” Neither does he…
b) he wants to be remembered as “Canada’s first economist Prime Minister” (in the same way George W. Bush will be remembered as “America’s first MBA President”)
c) it has Sponsorship scandal envy, and, really, who would deny the Conservatives the opportunity to be the subject of an investigation of misusing government funds five years from now?

Season Three Should Be Mandatory Viewing For The Federal Cabinet
The Conservative government has revived a bill that would impose mandatory sentences for drug related crimes and would send people to jail for growing as little as one marijuana plant.
For god’s sake, haven’t any of these people seen The Wire?!

Keeping A Cool Head In A Non-emergency
A Quebec woman who made over 10,000 911 calls in 15 months has been given a seven month suspended sentence. That may seem lenient to some, but Judge Serge Boisvert probably figured that it was better than risking having her tie up the jail phone.
