the couch? really?

Someone has a blog about The Daily Show's new set. What's more, Blogger has chosen it as a Blog of Note.

    Sorry--the above post was mine--but I needed spell check and didn't have it. My bad. Anyways...

    Not a comment about the couch (although I miss it) or even the Couch blog (envious of the Blogger support!!!), but I was just down in Port Credit, and wanted to tell you. It is much nicer than I remember it, as most things are in the GTA. I was a mere teen whenI lived here, and hated everything and almost everyone. I think that you'll like it a bunch. It is one part of Mississauga that has eluded the suburban touch.

    Hey, thanks for this Andy! You coulda left the typos in. :-)

    We also really like Port Credit, for just that reason. The funny thing is, we stumbled on it by accident on our first trip up to Toronto, and got the (incorrect) impression that all the suburbs were cute little towns like that. After looking around more, and seeing how unique Port Credit is, we really wanted to live there.

    Plus it's so close to downtown, and has decent public transit to Toronto, compared to most places in Mississauga.

    We can't believe how lucky we were to find this house so easily.

    I was a mere teen whenI lived here, and hated everything and almost everyone.

    You will appreciate that when I was growing up in the NYC suburbs, my theme song was "...it's a town for losers, I'm pulling outta here to win..."

    You saw a great show, eh? Bruce never disappoints.

    Thanks for stopping by to tell me this.

taking it

In comments here , James brought up an interesting piece. One of the most common questions I hear up here when yet another example of Bushian idiocy, incompetence, or corruption shows up is, "Why aren't people more outraged by this down there? Why isn't anyone making a fuss?" From up here, it often looks like almost everyone's going along with Bush, though that's certainly not the case. Of course, one of the big reasons for that is that the major news networks don't think it's newsworthy when people do make a fuss. But serious opposition to Bush and his policies is almost invisible up here, except to those who make a special point of following US politics from a liberal perspective. I hear this a lot, and it drives me nuts. Millions of Americans are making a fuss. I know because I used to be one of them. Here's my reply in that same thread: A fuss? We were - oh, that's "they are" - making a huge fuss. But the Bushies control all bra...

pity the 1%

"Cash bonuses on Wall Street are expected to drop by 14 percent during this year's 'bonus season'." Only 20 billion dollars will be doled out, with the average bonus totalling $121,000. How sad. That's billion, with a B. Bankers' trophy dates are sad, too . Be sure to click - and read to the end for maximum impact.

in no way threatening to me

Thanks to ALPF, I have learned that another American war resister is seeking asylum in Canada. I am so out of the loop, lost as I am in the ancient world . Good thing you guys keep me informed. US Army Pvt. Brandon Hughey, 20, told the [Canadian] Immigration and Refugee Board that he refused "to kill people or lose my life under false pretenses." Hughey said he believed the war in Iraq was illegal and his conscience obliged him to desert his Ft. Hood, Texas army base last year. He said when he joined the military at 17 he was looking for a way to put himself through college and respected the military. "I believe some things are worth fighting for, like defending my home and my family," Hughey told the board. "I had no moral objection to fighting back then. In some circumstances, war can be justified." He believed US President George W. Bush had proof that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, so he initially supported the war. But he later deter...
