...and in "real" news

So - lemme get this straight.Once again it seems that some people in Quebec still want to leave but most don't - yawn.What's fascinating is this idea that when the Liberals are in power, they do want to leave, but they're cool when Harper wins.

All you have to do is elect the Conservatives - in a minority, no less - and the number drops 10%. Some commitment to a "Distinct Society."

Call me old-fashioned but I think you should be a bit consistent in your separatism. If you wanna leave, stick to your guns - don't wait to see which type of federalist party is (barely) in power. Otherwise you're just being shit disturbers.

Who says Hamas never learned anything from The West?

You have to admire their strong "We don't negotiate with democracies" policy.

Vladmir Putin wins the "No Shit, Sherlock"award for using the words "very serious blow" in his description of how Hamas' election win affects the peace process.

That's some heavy news, eh?

Well, I always like to throw in some French-bashing when I can so here's the dish on a couple of Montreal DJs who called Jaques Chiraq pretending to be Stephen Harper - with a French accent, no less. Chirac surrendered to their impression and bought it. Sucker.

And I don't think I have enough interesting pictures.

What about this one? It's of WBA champion Nikolai Valuev who is about 7 feet tall and 320 pounds. Really.
