1-A triple medal day for us today!
Kayaker Adam van Koeverden of Oakville, Ont., captured the gold in the K-1 500-metres, after capturing the bronze in the 1000m race yesterday. Good for you, boy!
Caroline Brunet of Quebec won the bronze in the women’s event, and Ross MacDonald of Vancouver and Mike Wolfs of Mississauga, Ont., won a silver medal in the Star class sailing regatta.
It’s definitely been a good day for us, and it’s nice to end these Olympics on a higher note than the doom-and-gloom that clouded Canada’s first week performance.
2-My heart breaks for them…NOT!
I enjoy reading articles with headlines such as Parti Quebecois thrown into chaos.
There’s a civil war occuring within the party, over competing visions of how to achieve sovreignty as quickly as possible. From the sound of it, a vicious, ugly fight is in the making…and I couldn’t be happier.
I was these people to vanish from the face of the Earth. They’ve been trying to break up the greatest country in the world for over 30 years, and they still haven’t succeeded. When will these treacherous, sad, pathetic old men and women realize that there is nothing better than THIS magnificent country, in which they play a vital role? Even Rene Levesque seemed to clue in. Lucien Bouchard certainly did.
Newsflash to the PQ: the political purpose of your existence is complete shite. Your extinction is more than welcome.
3-Bwahahaha!
The current American administration couldn’t run a security system if their life depended on it…or so it seems:
Pentagon aide suspected of spying for Israel Last Updated Fri, 27 Aug 2004 22:44:59 EDT WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating a Pentagon official suspected of spying for Israel and providing the country with classified materials including secret White House plans on Iran, according to reports.
The U.S. doesn’t need enemies when it has friends like this…
4-The goddess gets the final word
The Globe and Mail’s Heather Mallick, witty pen in hand, once again comes through with a wicked analysis of some of the weirder elements of the Olympics. Here’s a taste of it:
In this era, it is we who suffer. We are forced to watch a selection of events so ludicrous that even I could participate, and that is ludicrous indeed. Take the sport of walking, which is bad enough, but it’s not even a 1,000-kilometre walk over the course of the Games, which would be a mildly entertaining ongoing event. It’s wiggle walking, the kind of thing you do on a bet in a heavy-metal bar after you snort something you shouldn’t. And in neither the bar nor these Games are you actually disemboweled, which is hardly fair.
Isn’t she magnificent? 
Go read the rest of it, and you’ll thank me for it later.
