816...Throw A Shoe Win A House

Muntazer al-Zaidi is the Iraqi journo who fired his size 10's, both of them, at George W. Bush's Presidential noggin last year and The Guardian this morning writes that he is poised to get out of jail on Monday and into the arms of an Iraq that loves him and his chutzpah.

He has won the love and admiration of millions for doing what many think their leaders were and are afraid of doing: standing up to the man, the real man, the President of the United States. Mr. Zaidi's act is replicated in wall murals, children's games, t shirts, it is omnipresent in the street culture of that part of the world.

The dude has hit the lottery. His boss has built him a four bedroom house. He has more cars than the winner of both showcases on Price Is Right. And many other fabulous prizes are on offer including harems, a ten million dollar offer for his shoes and, perhaps as an omage to the current POTUS, healthcare.

452...Someone Call The Tongue Troopers

I am aghast.

I bought some fruit in La Belle at Maxi and before biting into said fruit, a black plum if you must know, I peel of the label.

It is with horror that I note that the label says, in E N G L I S H, "Produce of USA". In E N G L I S H.

D0es Bill 101 mean nothing to these people?

The E N G L I S H was not in smaller text than the French, as God and the Province of Quebec decree, no, there was no French at all.

First they take the fruit and then next thing you know the whole Nation of Quebec will be camped in front of their TV's watching Drew Carey on CBS's Price Is Right.

Would someone please call Gilles Duceppe, leader of the Bloc and whomever is in charge of the PQ this week, pronto. I mean, toute suite.

Thank you.
