I figured the voter turnout for last week’s election would be low, but52.7%?!?!?That’s pathetic! All of you who didn’t vote can consider yourselves lucky that those of us who did gave you a government much better than the one you deserve. Hopefully the day never comes when we don’t or can’t. Maybe then you’d feel …

Why Would They Run That?
So the other morning I’m sitting around readingThe Merc,and I notice a mistake. No big deal, newspapers make them all the time. But being the decent citizen that I am, I decide it would be a good idea to email them and let them know just in case nobody else has caught it yet. I …
I Bet He’s Doing A Dance. Well Maybe Not, But I’m Sure He’s Happy Just The Same
It looks like John Wood will be getting his leg back. As strange as this whole thing was, I’m surprised they didn’t wind up working out some sort of joint custody arrangement.
As Long As There Are Rednecks, I’ll Always Have Things To Think About
I can’t decide what the weirdest thing about this story is. Is it that somebody left his amputated leg in a barbecue, that the barbecue in question somehow made it to auction, that the man who bought it decided that he had a money making venture on his hands, or that the 2 are now …

Finally!
Today, October 11th, 2007, is a historic day in the history of broadcasting. For it is on this day that I heard something that I thought in all my years I would never hear. During a contest onY108called Verse In Reverse, where part of a song is played backwards and you have to call in …
And While We’re On The Subject Of Politics…
It seems President Bush has a new health care plan. Make sure you’ve got your speakers turned up for this one.
Four More Years!
Well, all things election are in the bag, and I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out. The Liberals won another majority including gaining 4 more seats, Liz Sandals won Guelph, and in the most interesting turn of events, John Tory won nothing, losing the race in his riding …
