3 x YouTube. That is a looong time to, as MTV put it, look "the president in the eye and let loose a characteristically blistering barrage of invective, which was met with a stunned silence by the crowd and reportedly made the most powerful man in the free world squirm in his seat on the dais." Whatever they say about Stephen Colbert in the future, they will never say he was a coward.
In Canadian comedic news... Harper's budget sucks but we're stuck with it and the Mercer Report is off season. Agh!!
update: Colbert's speech was removed from YouTube (thanks Mark) but it's still available here at Viral Video and the transcript is here at Common Dreams.
Holy shit! this is no good.
On Thursday, April 27th - Two Toronto High School Students from Dante Alighieri Academy, a Catholic High School in North York, were pulled out of their classrooms by immigration officials who barged into the school demanding access to the students. The sister and brother whose family is originally from Costa Rica were ripped out of their respective Grade 9 and Grade 10 classes in front of thier classmates and told by enforcement agents that they will "never come back to this school again"....more at No One is Illegal...
My pal Derek Chadbourne is running for City Idol. He's got some stiff competition, but I think Derek would make a top notch councillor because he is smart, ethical, passionate about his beliefs, isn't afraid to look girly, doesn't sweat the small stuff, and remains uncompromising on big issues. His pro-bike, pro-chick, anti-smog agenda gets my vote! And he just might show up in a funny hat. Plus...plug!... he runs the best darn bike shop in town cause they are friendly, fast, and they do a great job without all the typical bike dude 'tude. Go to the Bike Joint!
note: City Idol is a brilliant idea. Simply scanning the list of candidates makes me feel better about thist town. Tomorrow night is opening night... details at cityidol.to
