Congrats, Blessings and Really Good Wishes Department:
Erin and Jeremy are proud parents of a new lad. Delivered early on the morning of May 7, he checked in at 6 lbs, 13 oz. Everybody healthy. The little guy doesn’t know yet how blessed he is to have the love of two of the kindest people on Spaceship Earth. He will, and God is smiling.
Statistical Bugs Department:
You are more likely to be killed by a lawnmower than by a black-widow spider. Now that’s good information to have. Inquiring Minds (I.M.) wonder what would happen if you found a spider sitting on your lawn mower?
40th Anniversaries Department:
Two events that happened 40 years ago are worthy of note: The Leafs last won a Stanley Cup, and Expo 67 ran in Montreal. If you remember either of these momentous occasions think back on what you were doing, what your dreams were, and where you thought would be when the annivresaries were celebrated. Yikes!
It’s About Money Department:
Don Imus launched legal action against CBS for his recent firing. Seems he’d like $120 million for his troubles. At least one legal guru thinks he has a good case, since the man’s contract calls for him to be “controversial”.
Explain and You Lose Department:
Elizabeth May, embattled boss-lady of the Green Party, tried to explain her remarks that compared Stephen Harper’s handling of the environment to Neville Chamberlain’s handling of the nazis. Chalk this one up to political naiveté. Two things worth mentioning that she needs to put in her bag o’political tricks: Avoid mention of nazis anywhere, and anytime; and don’t explain stuff. Just apologize and shut up.
Same Lesson, Different Player Department:
Justin Trudeau needs a history lesson. Got himself elected as the Liberal candidate in Papineau and a few days later forgot what his dad had done to guarantee bilingual schools in our fair land. In a speech to New Brunswick teachers he noted that two systems are divisive and maybe we ought to consider scrapping the idea. Not smart, Justin. Major rule in the business of giving speeches: Know your audience.
Your Intrepid Reporter (I.R.) suggests Stephan Dion put Ms. May and young M. Trudeau into the same Sensitivity training courses.
