Sports Banter
While I still enjoy watching a game the hype up to it can often drive me nuts. Football "panelists" especially going off about how this guy is going to play better now that his divorce is final or how this defence has to turn it around to have a chance yadda yadda blah. Seriously, get stoned one night and watch a sports discussion show. I did a few years back and watched "That's Hockey" and I couldn't watch them. They are over the top serious about issues that may not even have any facts attached to them.
And a few other things:
What the hell is up with truck commercials? The bullshit lines they use and the testosterone overdosed voices are snutz. Any man who buys into these commercials is seriously compensating.
I love how our Prime Minister acknowledged that Canadians hold the environment as the number one priority which now makes it the number one priority of the government. A lovely sentiment while outside the parliament buildings sat the PM's motorcade of 3 sedans and an suv idling for over 6 hours.
My homepage sucks. On it at this very moment--->Golden globes best/worst outfits (I can't wait),top ten concept cars(anything that runs on water?), Alpha Dog trailer(a movie that will be the bomb not da bomb), "Cox says there will be no Friends reunion"(I guess they weren't that close after all), an advert with a beaver as the spokesperson (I have Bell services and I am embarrassed), looking for love--check out our dating tips (yea that's how you'll score a hottie), Most searched---> Ivanka Trump (WTF is Ivanka?), Richards and Sambora to wed in Italy (WTF are Richards and Sambora?)
Axe commercials. I just keep thinking about all the poor schmucks who actually think that body wash will get them laid.

Sports chatter...sometimes I really think they are just filling air. There are however some good discussions that occasionally go down re: sports figures but I suspect they are all in books. (a couple good one's are "What's my name fool" and "40 million dollar slaves.")
Truck Commercials...make me laugh and think of the Simpson's episode where Marge bought a Canyonero - the song was hysterical. She developed road rage and started going off road on major highways. I want to know what ever happened to the truck commercial that featured the same sex couple going kayaking?!? That was just smart marketing I think and really flew in the face of the macho man in the dirty ole pick up.
Prime Minister Harper...yeah, saw the motorcade story on the Mercer show I think. I find it disturbing that every time Harper gives a speech in front of parliament, there are no real press or public allowed...seriously, if you have seen any long shots of him at a podium - there is really no one around. Creepy.
Your Homepage...may I suggest a contest to find a new homepage for Braid's? I'd like to throw my 2 cents in and suggest commondreams.org or even cbc.ca to you. That sympatico homepage is drivle.
Ivanka = child of Donald and Ivana Trump (sad that I know this)
Richards and Sambora = Richie Sambora and Denise Richards (sadder that I know this)
And all that useless info is gleaned from just glancing at the cover of gossip rags in the grocery.
You wouldn't BELIEVE what Oprah and Brittiney have been getting up to.
One one side of the check out line they laud the starts incredible weight loss, while on the other their devastating (oh cry me an f'in river) weight gain.
About Harper, it's very surprising to see how much he models himself after Bush and the Neo-Cons ideology. The sad part of this may be that he has learned from the American mistakes.
This became increasingly clear when he did his cabinet shuffle or made his appointments.
As much as I disagree with their environmental portfolio, I thought is was really telling how instead of just unseating and re appointing Rona Ambrose - somehow, it was felt necessary to publicly humiliate her for doing what she was told. I did not witness that with any other of his ministers. Pure and blatant sexism. But then again, that is an ideology of the "values" of that party isn't it? And, in part why Belinda Stronach left the party.
Mercer was dead on about this one. Ambrose did as she was told, which was nothing, and then got blamed for incompetance for doing exactly what Harper told her to do. Mercer went on to explain that Harper was the father figure and the rest of his cabinet the kids. And when everything went well the father took all the credit and when things went bad the kids got the blame. I kinda like whats going on with the Cons. Every Minister will be pissing their pants over the slightest error.
Hey, at least the Ravens are a winning team. Try being a Toronto Maple Leaf fan.
Or try not being a leafs fan...you'll sleep better.
Touche'.
