3036....Hot Dog It Is Cesar Milan

The dog whisperer dude who is
blowing thru the Great White North this month including a stop this Wednesday at Scotia Bank Place in Kanata.

Cool fact in Adrian Chamberlain's piece in the
Ottawa Citizen today was the
fact that when he snuck into Cali he survived on hot dogs.

As Alanis Morrisette would say, isn't that ironic?

WFDS

3035...Celine Dion: The Nelson Eddy Of Today

True that.

If you look at her career it is a lot like the star of three score and ten years ago.

Now the Quebecoise superstar, living in the promised land, Floride, has chosen to name her new twin boys Nelson and Eddy. Ostensibally Nelson is named after Nelson Mandela and Eddy after Eddy Marnay.

Best to all.

WFDS

3034...Conservatives Plan To Waste Money

On the frigging Grey Cup.

Twelve million to help promote The
CFL's 100th edition thereof.

As Mark Sutcliffe writes in today's Ottawa Citizen in his piece lambasting the CFL for not going pink for breast cancer in the tenth month, unlike the NFL, it is painful that the league is asking "...for money that could otherwise be spent on...cancer research,"

Screw healthcare, what the Stephen Harpers promote are prisons, bread and circuses.

WFDS

3033...Will He Or Won't He?

He is Brett Favre and the will he or won't he is will he start
today in New England?

He has two breaks in his ankle and is having trouble doing the QB thing.

Time to man up coach Childress and do whatcha gotta do.

WFDS

3032...Happy Halloween

This be the day.

And, according to Saturday's Ottawa Sun, charges for vandalism increase on Halloween.

In other news the Sun broke the news that the
sky is blue, water is wet and Adolf Hitler had anger issues.

I smell a Pulitzer.

3028...No More Oprah; No More Dr. Phil

Noooooooooooooo.

Brenden Johnstone reports to
me via Facebook that TLC (doesn't that stand for The Learning Channel?) is going to be stripping a show by the great Tea Partier herself Sarah Palin.

I bet Russell Barth will save his best bud for Mrs. Alaska.

WFDS

3027...Halloween And Transvestites

Seriously. Is it tough or great to be a TV on 31 October.

The thought occured to me as I was cruising on OC Transpo 95 tonight in Ottawa.

I suppose if one is a closeted TV this is a great night but what about yer reg dudes who walk on the wild side?

Yes I know, y'never thought about it. Well now y'have.

WFDS

3027...Bad Week For Eugene Haslam

First he gets his head handed to him in Ottawa's muni election, getting only the friends and family vote.

And now this.

All of Ottawa media is reporting that there was was a stabbing outside his nightclub, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Friday morning at 2:30.

Tough week for a pillar of your capital's community.

WFDS

3026...Rob Ford Gets The Street

That is the thesis of Michael Coren's column in the Toronto Sun today.

What happened in Tronna this time out is reminiscent of what happened in Ottawa four years ago. A lot of your vizmins and your immigrant types have difficulty voting for George Smitherman/Alex Munter coz they are gay.

I am not calling it homophobia but it is what it is and immigrants who are now voters don't necessarily, no matter what CFRA's Lowell Green and his apostles think, reject so called traditional values. They came her coz they liked what they heard about Canada. We ain't the only country on the map.

Something to keep in mind during planning for
the coming election.

3024..:Big By Elections A Test For Iggy?

That is what the chattering classes are saying about the three upcoming trips to the polls.

Especially Vaughn-Costco-Yorkdale Centre in the sorta GTA.

Well they be wrong.

By elections are like pre season games. Great to win but in the scheme of things they don't mean that much. If anything.

The key is the general election where I believe, I know in fact, that the NDP will dip and Parti Verte will vapourise. The question is, of course, will that progressive vote stay home or do the correct thing and vote Red

Our future depends on them voting and voting for Mikey I.

That would be Elvis Presley's former son-in-law Michael Jackson.

Forbes magazine says he earned 275 000 000 . 00 USD last year putting him on the top of the cadaver list.

In fact he earned more than the next twelve dead stars combined.

WFDS

3021...Avoid Fraternities: Make Your Own Friends

That is my advice especially on light of what Delta Kappa Epsilon is accused of doing to its pledges this fall.

Pamela Roth of the Edmonton Sun tells all that they are alleged to have made pledges "...eat their own vomit...". My dog likes that but she is a Labrador so it goes with the territory. The pledges were also allegedly "...locked in a plywood box and deprived of sleep.". Plus the genie at DKE videoed their bullsh@t.

Make your own friends.

WFDS

3020...Mayor O'Brien To Write Book

The soon to be former mayor of your capital, Larry O'Brien, has announced on Facebook that he is going to write a book about being mayor of Ottawa.

3016...Polls Are Out

Or in.

It is Thirstday, uh Thursday and the Nanos Poll released and to the CBC, has the Tories up a bit in the low 30s and the Libs holding at 27.8.

3013...New Mayor In Hospital With Infected Tattoo

No not Rob Ford or Jim Watson or Hazel McCallum. The mayor I am referring to is Jon Gnarr the new mayor of Reykjavik.

Mr. Gnarr had a tat of the Icelandic capital's coat of arms on his arm and it got infected.

Let's wish him the best.

WFDS

3012...Rock Chalk Jayhawk V.2

The only losing coach in Kansas basketball history was Canuck James Naismith.

The irony of that is Mr. Naismith invented the sport at the Springfield, Massachusetts YMCA in 1891.

Randy Boswell reports in today's Ottawa Citizen that the original thirteen rules will be auctioned off in the Big Apple in December and could get 2,000,000.00 USD.

WFDS

3011...On The Other Hand Losing Pays

At least if you are an incumbent who got beat in Ottawa.

The Ottawa Sun tells all that losing council members in the capital are seen off with one third of their salary which is about 31 k.

3007...Tim Hudak

Premier Tim Hudak in his dreams.

I love his anti (the real) Premier Dalton McGuinty adverts. They are cute. I especially like when Mr. Hudak says "When I was growing up in Fort Erie and we couldn't afford something...blah blah blah." Of course the sentence should end "...we would slip across the Peace Bridge to Buffalo where everything is cheaper and smuggle it back."

Truth in advertising.

WFDS

3008...Brett Favre Done Like Dinner

Looks that way.

He has a 191 game starting streak that will most likely be snapped coz his ankle is snapped in not one but two places.

Jenn Sterger was not available for comment.

3007...Mayor Rob Ford

Kinda rolls off the tongue, eh?

A lot of hand wringing going on especially among the chattering classes but least keep two things in mind: he was voted in and he only gets one vote on council.

WFDS

3007...NFL Players To Wear Dresses

In an effort to further cut down on hitting that results in boo-boos, my sources tell me that the NFL will require their players to wear dresses this weekend.

To tie in with breast cancer awareness all quarterbacks will wear pink dress.

You read it here first.

WFDS

3006...Ezra Levant Is Unhappy

Like what is new eh?

The soon to be Sun TV star is all bent out of shape in this day's Ottawa Sun about the pending sentencing deal that boy soldier Omar Khadar is getting.

Mr. Khadar, who was 15 when he was charged with war crimes, is now 24 and has been in custody for close to a decade and is looking at another 8: 1 in the States and 7 in Canada.

I believe Ezra Levant would like to have Mr. Khadar executed. Drawn and quartered perhaps on the Ezra Levant Show? Imagine the ratings!

3002...Change

That has been the rallying cry in Ottawa' s municipal election.

Fact is there is a pretty good chance that all the incumbents running, I believe the number is 19, will win ce soir. In my view that would be a good parlay.

I can only see 3 possible councillors getting beat: Rob Jellett in Cumberland, Alex Cullen in Bay and Christine Leadman in Kitchissippi.

But I would still install them as faves, a bit long but faves nonetheless.

2966...Cat Lady Fined

Reuters reports, well, here is a cut and paste:

A British woman who sparked international outrage after CCTV film of her picking up a cat and dumping it in a rubbish bin was posted on the internet was fined 265 pounds ($420) for animal cruelty on Tuesday.

Mary Bale, 45, was also banned from keeping animals for five years after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to the cat, a four-year-old tabby called Lola.

Bale's home in Coventry, central England, was at one point put under police guard after her actions shocked animal lovers and even attracted death threats.

Lola was found unharmed by her owners Darryl Mann and his wife Stephanie, crying for help inside the bin about 15 hours after she had gone missing in August

Bale was traced after Mann, who had installed security cameras outside his house after vandals damaged his car, put footage of the incident on YouTube.

District judge Caroline Goulborn told Bale at Coventry Magistrates Court that she had taken into account that media interest in the case had led to the former bank worker being "vilified".

The court heard that that Bale, who had faced a maximum fine of 20,000 pounds or up six months' imprisonment, could provide no answer to why she had acted in such an "impulsive and irrational" way, the Press Association reported.

Bale's father, who died last week, was seriously ill at the time of the incident.

"I accept that you were in a stressful situation at the time, but that's no excuse for what you did," the judge said.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) charity brought the prosecution against Bale and was awarded costs of 1,170 pounds.

"The cat in this case has been extremely lucky to come out unharmed and with no lasting injuries," said RSPCA inspector Nicky Foster.

After the hearing, Bale's lawyer said his client had been under "tremendous strain" and had since been diagnosed with depression.

He said she wanted to apologise for her actions and bitterly regretted what she had done.


This will not look good on the resume.

With 203 of 241 polling stations reporting, Nenshi has a lead of more than 17,000 votes on Ric McIver (39 per cent of the vote versus 32 per cent), while third-place challenger Barb Higgins is far back (26 per cent).

The person who was vexed was former Liberal minister (they are the good guys by the way) went on the news and castigated the valedictorian, saying that this was not the time or place for an anti Minister Toews.

2911...Pigs In Hogtown Monday

Read this in the Edmonton Journal:

One lane of a busy Toronto highway reopened Monday afternoon after being closed for more than 10 hours so emergency crews could corral dozens of pigs onto a truck.

About 235 swine were being transported on a tractor-trailer when it flipped over on a ramp that links Highway 427 to the Gardiner Expressway around 4:30 a.m. Monday.

Nearly two dozen pigs were killed upon impact or euthanized as a result of the accident, said OPP Const. Graham Williamson.

Cleaning up the highway was taking longer than expected. In addition crews had to wait for inspectors with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to assess all the pigs before the highway could be fully reopened.

The 26-year-old driver of the vehicle has been charged with careless driving. He was not injured in the collision.

For those who don't know Mr. Green he is a long time talker at CFRA in Ottawa, the heritage news station.

The story has been widely reported but I will review. On the battlefield in the far away land of Afghanistan the then Captain murdered a severely wounded and unarmed Taliban fighter after a firefight in Helmand province two years ago.

The Canadian Press reported that "Witnesses testified Semrau fired two shots into the wounded insurgent and told them he wanted to put the man out of his misery." Couple of obvious problems with that, first one being that the enemy soldier was a man, not a dog. The second is that, as the man who sentenced Second Lieutenant Semrau, Lt.-Col. Jean-Guy Perron, said "How can we expect our soldiers to follow the laws of war if our officers do not?"

In an unprecedented mea culpa, O’Brien told the Citizen editorial board that while he can’t say he is the worst mayor ever — because he doesn’t know all of them and their records, he said — he was 'pretty bad' in his first two years. For that, he is very sorry."

2902...When The Wind Howls Let Them Eat Pucks

A pointed piece that is to the point in Tasha Kheiriddin's signed editorial in this morning's National Post about Quebec City's want/need for an NHL team and the big barn to keep it in.

When asked why the private sector wouldn't build an arena, Mr. Labeaume [Mayor of Quebec City] admitted, without apology, " Ce n'est pas rentable." (It's not profitable). But, he went on to say, the arena is something everyone agrees on, " Ils le veulent" (the people want it) -- and so the government should give it to them.

Hmm. Actually, the Quebec people want many things. These include hospitals without an average 24-hour emergency room wait or high schools without an average 30%dropout rate. But those seem to take a back seat to bread and circuses these days, especially when Premier Jean Charest's latest approval rating stagnates at 25%. What's $175-million in provincial tax dollars for a new colisee, complete with moat, but missing a tenant?


Then in a dozen or so years when the team flees for Kitchener or Albany or Seattle at least they will have a warm place to keep political prisoners in La Capitale.

He leads his story on the op ed page of today's Toronto Star with this: "We don't do fatwas in Canada. We just ban people. Or shut them down. Our Conservative government is so fearful of free speech (one of those values we're supposedly defending in Afghanistan) that it keeps banishing feisty voices."

In Stephen Harper's [and Mr. Levant's and Miss/Mrs./Ms. Atwood's Home And Native Land] Canada only group think, think like the big C group that is, is allowed.

"The latest victim of ministerial muzzling is Imam Zijad Delic, the head of the Canadian Islamic Congress, who was disinvited from a conference yesterday at National Defence headquarters. Last year, British firebrand George Galloway was scared off by border officials at the behest of a Conservative cabinet minister."

Big diff of course is Mr. Delic is Canuckistanian, Mr. Galloway, not so much. The Stephen Harpers are not just hating the other they are also hating ourselves.

Methinks the Stephen Harpers would have loved Germany, late '30s, early '40s.

Robert Smith of Alberta has been on death row in the Big Sky state since 1983. That is like for freaking ever, a special type of death itself and he may die sooner rather than later.

The Canadian Press reports that Mr. Smith "...was convicted in 1983 for the shooting deaths of two young Montana men while he was high on drugs and alcohol. Smith originally requested the death penalty but later changed his mind and has been fighting ever since to keep from being executed. Next month the U-S Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether to hear his final appeal. If the court says no to the appeal, it will likely be left to Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer to decide whether Smith lives or dies."

Our beloved Prime Minister has asked the Governor to offer clemency to Mr. Smith who, if he had of been convicted in Canada, would most likely be a free man by now.

Governor Schweitzer is stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the Canadian government pleading for clemency and the families of Mr. Smith's innocent victims taking a different tack.
