On Eight Hours, Twenty Minutes
@franceschances I don't understand how the whole system works, but is there ANYBODY who can step in at this point? Obama? Anybody? I do not understand how this is possible.

On Randy Wolf’s Most Adequate Moments
Maybe I'm not objective because I'm a diehard Jays fan, but the cheating scandal as "reported" is bullshit. If this has been going on since last year, why, really, could nobody produce a picture of this man in white? A video? Maybe a former player or staff member to back up the claims? Anything other than a couple (anonymous!) accusations from a rival team and some half baked stat analysis.
The Jays have been working their asses off and management has made some damned good calls for the team - hustle and heart ain't just a catch phrase here. Bautista isn't just an amazing hitter, though he is that, he's also a fantastic leader for a team that everybody counts out before the season even starts. So like, what, we're battling like crazy in the most impossible division in the AL and that means we must be cheating? Such bullshit. Anybody watch the last four games the Jays have played?! I guess the man is white is on the road with them now!!

On Dear Vancouver, Please Don't Boo Our National Anthem
@en vague Probably, but I can't help but get excited for any Canadian team with a shot at the cup. I even (reluctantly and quietly) rooted for the Flames during their run. The only team I could never get behind is the leafs. Also, a good friend from my hometown played/plays for the Canucks, so I started liking them in the last few years. Go Canucks! Bring the cup home!!

On Dear Vancouver, Please Don't Boo Our National Anthem
First, Go Canucks Go. Second, I really want to snark on this with a little jab, like "Isn't this rich, an American asking people to respect their country's anthem, what with its citizens all being paragons of respect and humility."
But actually you're totally right and booing the US national anthem is disgusting and so totally un-Canadian it isn't even funny. (Also, as Canadians love to point out when it suits them, the US teams are comprised in large part of Canadian players, sooo if you are booing their team's country aren't you kinda booing them and isn't that gross?) For what it's worth, I've never met or known anybody who would dare to boo another country's anthem, and the first time I heard it happen I was sick to my stomach with shame.
Anyway, I really don't think it'll happen in Vancouver and it DEFINITELY did not happen during my beloved Oilers cup run or Ottawa's run or even gross Calgary's run, for that matter, and also, Montrealers are crazy and barely Canadian. Ha ha. I'm joking, French Canadians. I love you and you are very Canadian. But we both know you're crazy, espesh where hockey is concerned.
Go Canucks Go.

On Where Do Liberals Say They'll Move Now if Obama Loses?
@Comments for the void Uh, what Canada are you living in? It's warmer than usual, sure, but regardless of Harper's dreams of making us US Lite we're not even close to being near Santorum territory on social issues. None of the rights we enjoy are being threatened - gay marriage and abortion are here to stay. Come on now.
