Here’s a website about the amalgamation of Canada and the United States of America. It’s an interesting site to say the least. My bet is that it will spark some interesting (and no doubt angry) debate.

Thanks to Kris Laudien from MOJO radio for mentioning this link in his latest “Hot Links” commentary.

Carol’s sister lives and works in Dallas, TX. She was harrassed for being Canadian yesterday. Here’s what she said:

“I was getting gas last night and some guy started pointing at the Canadian flag on my truck. He started yelling at me. Where’s Canada in the war. You abandond us. I just smiled. Easy for him to say something but I don’t see him over there either.”

I don’t fully agree with the stance the Canadian government has taken in regards to Iraq. A lot of Canadians disagree with the method, but understand something had to be done with Hussein. A support role is about all Canada can offer anyway seeing as our military is so grossly underfunded.

If you’re American who dislikes us for our war stance, think before you put us down. Just because some moronic politicians in Ottawa have done some boneheaded things of late doesn’t mean we all think that way. Also, we have in a round about way made winning this war possible for you by providing support and protection in the Arabian Gulf via our naval ships. Finally, our peace keepers in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan have freed up your troops for a more focused operation in Iraq. Sounds like full support to me. The only difference is we have no ground troops there as they’re all committed elsewhere.

Check out CrashBonsai if you want to buy a BMW 328i at 1:18 scale crashed into a Bonsai tree for $125. Perhaps worth having just for conversation’s sake.

Thanks to Chuff for the link.

See Carol? I told you we need exercise equipment.

Thanks to Paul for the picture.

That dog looks like Carol’s Mom’s dog Sandy.

My highschool buddy Ken bought himself a nice Corvette. He said it was the most powerful car he’s ever driven. And he’s had some quickies; a Trans Am and a suped up Camaro.

And the Dell Inspiron 5100 is most likely the one I’m going to buy. Tyler, the not-so-evil-now sys admin, said he may be able to swing a deal through Dell for me as we have bought stuff from them before.

UPDATE: I ordered it
