The Pursuit Of Leisure

100% correct, 50% of the time. A tongue in cheek look at culture both high and low.

This and That.

John Roberts has left CBS for CNN. This guy has come along way from his days as a MuchMusic VJ. Does this mean Rick the temp will be the Fox White House correspondent in 2016?

I'm already sick of the Great Cartoon Controversy. Isn't it funny how Muslim countries are aghast at a Danish newspaper for publishing cartoons depicting Muhammed with a time bomb in his turban? Saudi Arabia and Syria have recalled their ambassadors from Denmark, and protesters in Gaza are chanting "Death to Denmark." This from countries that use state run newspapers to call for the elimination of Israel and call for jihad against the West. The Jyllands-Posten (the paper the cartoons originally appeared in) were correct in defending their right to publish these cartoons.

Burger King is going public. Now we can all profit from the North American love of obesity and fast food. Those great football commercials alone make me tempted to by in.

Poor Pluto. Astronomers have discovered an object on the edge of the solar system that is bigger than Pluto. The object, originally thought to be Paul Martin and his PMO's collective ego, may become the 10th planet or may cause Pluto to lose planet status. The object has current nicknames such as "Xena", "Santa", and "Rudolph". Unfortunately Santa declined to comment from his winter home in Costa Rica, and Rudolph's whereabouts are currently unknown (though it is widely suspected he spends his winter vacation "chilling out" in Amsterdam).

Well former MM VJ George Stromboulopoulos took his career to the political presenter stage on CBC's The Hour... quite possibly with mixed results. But then again it was CBC who think they're so hip and leftist by bringing a personality like that to try to revive interest in their news youth audience.
