  3. Re: Dancer in airport.
    At 4:00 AM in Vancouver, and getting off the plane from Hong Kong, she could tax your nerves!

  4. There’s no reason to refer to the new Lieberal leader as “Justine”.
    He should be referred to by his correct name, Kim Justin-il, or his nickname, Shiny Pony. Thank you!

  5. You could (I’m not recommending it) stroll around LAX all day before boarding slinging an Uzi. You could probably take the uzi onto the plane. Nobody would care, providing you meekly handed over your hand-cream for them to incinerate. That’s assuming you might somehow possibly find the gate you need, which is never ever ever going to happen because it’s actually four miles away and you were misinformed. Also, your flight’s been cancelled. Nobody thought to mention that to you. Spraypaint HERE BOMB!!!! AND MANY DRUGS!!! in international orange on your luggage and leave it at the bottom of the elevator nearest baggage security. It won’t be noticed. Ten-to-one nobody who works at that airport would care even if they a)glanced at it for some reason b)could read and c)knew any English. In a week or two, if you get lucky, someone might accidentally send your bags to Dubai, after having rifled through all your stuff. LAX is the worst airport I’ve ever been to. That chick wouldn’t have gotten an ounce of attention out of those people if she’d committed ritual seppuku, except maybe if she did it on the baggage carousel. Someone would have yelled at her if she got blood on their stuff. Also I gather they’re doing nudie-scans now.
    Thanks for listening. I really feel a lot better. Great little dancer.

  6. I AM, Joe Molnar, I live in Woodstock Ontario Canada.. and I believe in “miracles” on this our human plane of existance, afterall who would deny the fact that Kate MCMillan. commercial artist aand Miniature Schnauzer Breeder, located in Delisle Saskatchewan has created in Canada a conservative “miracle” “Small Dead Animals” blog, eclipsing Conrad Black’s national POst and Karl Peladeau’s QMI News Conglomerate as Canada’s conservative sounding board!
    Good ON Kate!!
    But miracles come in all forms, do they not?
    Mine is currently in my garden plot, producing “for leafed clovers” which I frequently give away.
    Which brings me to the TIM Hortons franchisee on Norwich Avenue at the HWY 401 cutoff at Woodstock, Ontario.
    She has two of my “miracle” clovers in her possession and indicated she will use them as fundraisers, which she regularly does for her chosen charities, as a good civic business minded business person will do within a community.
    I have no further knowledge `of where the fundraiser is destined, but I AM putting forth this posting in hopes that Franchisee Owner Leslie ( last name snipped) will raise enough from the two “miracle” four leafed clovers to help sponsor me as I attempt to “Free Winnie” the beleaguered mythical “FIRST Nations Woman” without owners rights, as I walk and bicycle across Canada to highlight her plight!
    Two genuine “four leafed clovers”may be up for bids, why not call Leslie at Timmy’s on Norwich Avenue in Woodstock Ontario, and ask her if she is taking bids, eh?
    I AM, Joe Molnar……

  7. blutech — yes, that’s pretty astonishing that no one has paid attention to Trudeau’s expenses which not only exceed the PM’s costs, but exceed Duffy’s and far exceed Bev Oda’s orange juice. Do we know how these costs compare to those of other MP’s? Good info. Where is that creep McGregor when he should be doing some real investigative reporting?
