Cartoon of the Day

Please Take Momentous Back!

This is my 300th blog post. July 2005 was when I first put finger tips on keyboards and started this great adventure. I thank everyone for commenting, for emailing privately, for engaging with such enthusiasm, inspiring me over and over again to write and to vent, to whine and to laugh.

And speaking of all of the above:

Guess what I read in the Montreal Gazette today:

George W. Bush to speak in Calgary

Canwest News ServiceFebruary 13, 2009

Former United States president George W. Bush is coming to Calgary for his first confirmed speaking event since leaving office last month. The private event, billed as "A Conversation with George W. Bush," is to be held March 17 at the Telus Convention Centre. Bush is to share his "thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office," according to the event material. About 1,500 people are expected to attend.

Now listen up, Americans. We really are well over our quota in village idiots running around in our own government up here. We don't need yours.

I'm sure there will be a very special place for "My Pet Goat".

Who says the Incumbent has no sense of humour?

A master of irony, GWB, with a straight face, delivers this humourous speech to the Chinese:

"We speak out for a free press, freedom of assembly, and labor rights not to antagonize China’s leaders but because trusting its people with greater freedom is the only way for China to develop its full potential.”

And he has them rolling in the aisles with the following:

"The United States believes the people of China deserve the fundamental liberty that is the natural right of all human beings…So America stands in firm opposition to China's detention of political dissidents, human rights advocates, and religious activists.”

Who knew?
