On The Last of the Hot Summer Town Halls: How We've All Been Fooled By The Health Care Debate
I really liked that. I can't say that I have much hope for u poor bastards. It is just so fundamentally bizarre that you don't have a national health system that I can't even wrap my head around it.
I am mighty suspicious of this canadian that went south for health care he couldnt get here. If he cant get it here then its gonna cost shitloads in the states. Was this a rich guy? Cuz rich people (around the world) are always travelling for health care. Farah went to germany (germany!) for god's sake.
Allz i know iz: canadians dont like to pay for healthcare and if we do decide to do it we can do it here. We actually have private clinics. So take that FreedomWorks. Makes u wonder why this canadian didnt just go to a private clinic or hospital here.
Harumph.

The pix of the LES in the 70s are amazing. I can't even imagine a the city as somewhere with businesses that are edgier than the Olive Garden.

That kind of gumption says "canadian" to me. Was he aggressively polite? Did he say "thank you" or the tell-tale "thank you, sir"? Canadian. Never say Canadians lack gumption. Actually, I want to apologise, for saying that. I'm sorry I suggested you couldn't say something. It was very un-canadian. I'm going to go have a glass of hot water and calm down.

On Remember When: New Coke
If you are going to poo-poo Mr. Headroom you should take into account the fact that Canada didn't have the l'ektrik put in until well into the 90s. Back then all that was powering Mr. H was many hamsters furiously running on wheels as well a nation's belief in Michael J Fox.
Simpler times for a simpler people.

Jack Bauer is played by a Canadian. Not that it's important or anything... I simply toss it out there casually... Delonas and Peyser, on the other hand, are not Canadian.
so, uhm, that's it for canadian citizenship updates... unless there's a story about John Roberts on CNN or Bryan Adams or something.

On Rich People Things
a side note here... i have never understood this "white shoe" thing. it seems to be only an american phrase and i've only heard it applied to law firms up until now. i always thought it referred to people that were so badly brought up (public schools, other abominations, etc.) that they wore white shoes with their suits at work. So a "white shoe" law firm would be one filled with eager up and comers with no polish/finesse. But that's not it at all... it's the exact opposite? why?

On Craigslist's Most Notable Male Slaves of August
Reading Dennis Cooper has left me, as per, feeling a bit nauseated, a bit turned on, but mostly alarmed.
the phrase "de-boned" will haunt my waking dreams all day and tonight, I'm sure, will result in terrifying nightmares where I'm being chased by monstrous boneless chicken breasts.
Oh Dennis, did you have to?
