3966...Apparently

We have a new winner in the Who Gives A F*ck Category.

Daniel Bedard reports in this morning's Globe and Mail that Nycole Turmel, "The new leader of the federal NDP was a card-carrying member of the Bloc Québécois for five years and quit the sovereigntist party only last January, one month before she announced plans to run as a key member of Jack Layton’s team in Quebec..."

The horror.

3965...Note To Julian Fantino

When you are in Italy and chilling with the cabinet would you give a big hello to Mara Carfagna and tell her that I named my dog after her?

Much appreciated.

You cannot miss her; she is, according to Maxim Magazine, the hottest politician in history. To put that in perspective Belinda Stronach finished sixth.

3964...Julian Fantino Kisses A**

He's in the homeland, Italy, and the Postmedia people tell us that Canada's associate minister of national defence is praising the Italians for their great military yadda, yadda, yadda.

Italy, of course, is the only country to lose World War Two twice, may be three times.

But they, the Italians, are buying those F 35's that the Stephen Harper's sole sourced [by the way John Martin, Ian Lee, Friends of Lansdowne, where are you on this sole sourcing?]and Mr. Fantino and Secretary of State Guido Crosetto are having a love in about how great both Canada and Italy is/are/always will be.

3963...We Got A Good Immigrant Here

Have, got, whatever.

And we are trying to force him back to where he is from.

His name is Matt Bonner and he is special. As in a special athlete, NBA player and a scholar.

Check this from TSN, The Sporting News: "Bonner never received less than an "A" as final grade in any class throughout his academic career, until he received a "C" on a chemistry exam in college, which led to a final grade of a "B"."

The Ottawa Sun had an editorial focusing on Mr.Bonner's quest for Canuckistanian citizenship. The New Hampshire native's wife Nadia is from Toronto and he, taxes be damned, spends his off time in the Big Smoke. He applied for citizenship back February of 2009, a few months before his little girl was born in Toronto.

Oh, did I mention he is an NBA player? And that our Olympic team sucks beyond suckatude? The lost by over sixty to F R A N C E. France. Not Serbia, not Lith, not the States. F R A N C E.

C'mon, you are not going to get a better immigrant than Matt Bonner plus he can hit the three.

Special rules for special people.

I am all for that and if Mr. Bonner could skate I think the Guv would be too.

3962...Shields' In The House And You Know It

Sam Shields that is.

From the Green Bay Packers.

As you probably are aware Super Bowl winners receive championship rings. Big, ugly, impressive especially to the guys at the bar when you are 30 years out and living a regular life. Very impressive.

Deadspin informs us that "...that didn't satisfy Sam Shields...A ring wasn't enough... he got a giant ring tattooed on his neck..."

Giant, like the size of a large pizza box.

3961...So Tim Hudak Slips Again

According to the Toronto Star at least.

Apparently Tim Hudak was or is against abortion and that has everybody up in arms.

Except for may be voters.

Look at it this way: the Conservative leader is probably not getting votes from them that is for abortion anyhow and is getting a good chunk of the anti abortion vote.

3960...Just When You Thought It Was Safe

To plug the TV back in OWN announced that they have hired Rosie O'Donnell to host a daily talker and they are going to perpetually run re runs of Oprah.

For historical reasons.

As if.

OWN, in case you don't know, is Oprah's OWN [get it?] network. And is a ratings turkey.
