Canada vs Coulter, age 45
Canada wins, with a smackdown. And don’t give me none o’ that “but there were Canadians there as observers, there were Canadians who left to join the US Army” shit. Yes indeed, but (once more, loudly, for the people drooling in the back row):
CANADA DID NOT SEND TROOPS TO VIETNAM
as Ann Coulter, 45, learns to her dismay, confusion and, of course, ongoing refusal to face facts.
from, of all places, Perez Hilton, who has always been good to Canuckistan.

In what can only be interpreted as a conscious effort from God to show us that mutants are crustaceans too, no matter where on the sea floor they may scuttle furtively, both the States and the UK have gifted us this week with bizarre freaks, and for once I am not talking about Bush & Blair.
A “mutant” crab with three pincers has been
picked up off the Cornish coast.
Fisherman Jeff Brown caught the 20cm (7.8in) edible crab three miles off Portreath and realising its rarity, handed it into a Newquay aquarium.
The crab, christened Claudette by the Blue Reef aquarium staff, will be quarantined for several days before going on show.
I’m so glad they stressed that it’s an edible crab, because if there’s one thing I’m looking for in a nice seafood salad, it’s the possibility of random, freakish and poorly-understood genetic mutations.
A visitor at Percy’s General Store on Popham Beach is the talk of the town. It’s a rare yellow
lobster, hauled up Monday morning by David Percy.
David caught the lobster near Whaleback Island at the mouth of the Kennebec River. But he’s not the only lobsterman who found a surprise in his traps in the past few days. Just last week, Shane Hatch found a yellow lobster in a trap he set near Rockland. Scientists say the odds of finding a yellow lobster are in the millions.
“Well, its actually about one in thirty million. So its actually thirty times rarer than a blue lobster. And its just a color morph that happens to be a rare,” said Jonathan Grabowski from the Gulf of Maine Research Institute.

We’re the last of the superheros. When the world is really screwed up, who do they count on to settle things down?
We’ll be getting the call from Beirut any day now.
Let no nation claim a monopoly on jingoistic superheroism. Right, Robin?

I have no faith that there will be a ceasefire along the Lebanon/Israel border any time soon. On the assumption that there may be one, someday, and that Canadians will be involved (because that’s what we do, so we generally are) I am posting this handy-dandy image for easy printing out and pasting on any outerwear, backpacks, footwear, transportation, or exposed skin.

Okay, maybe not you, George.
But you’d better marry me just to make it legal.
‘k?
