hodge-podge

Lone Primate alerted me to this quiz from the Globe and Mail. I thought it was about history, politics, maybe geography, but it's about Canadians, and what's on your minds. I scored much higher than I expected to, thanks to our little wmtc community.

ALPF noticed that David Wilkins is being sworn in as the new US ambassador to Canada. Wilkins was speaker of the South Carolina State Assembly for 11 years, so The State, a South Carolina website, weighed in on strained US-Canadian relations. The same story also has a very silly Canada quiz. I expect everyone here to score 100%.

The folks in Bangor, Maine, ask an excellent question.

"How can members of Congress avoid looking like anything but irrelevant busybodies if they will occupy themselves with Major League Baseball's steroid policy but refuse to consider information that President Bush may have intentionally misled the nation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein?"

Finally, in the Sun Is Hot department, the Democrats are wimps. Can you believe Dick Durbin apologized??? Yes. You can. Because you knew that he would. Because the Democrats are wimps.
