It's election time again. For the next 36 days it's "Survivor: Ottawa" as the top political honchos sling mud and backstab each other in the ultimate reality TV show. The lawns will be full of signs and the tube will be full of campaign ads, but in the end the decision will come down to who to vote for. Basically it's a tossup as to who can continue to screw up the country the least. Who knows what the new "Conservative" party can offer as an alternative to the stranglehold the Liberals have over the land. And then there's the NDP. Are they still around? My guess is: after June 28 it'll be rape and pillage as usual.
I knew these guys were superstitious but I didn't know it went this far. I guess the players in the NHL refuse to touch or have anything to do with the Stanley cup until they have won it. Is it supposed to jinx their chances at winning or what? And that cup gets a lot of road time too. Each player of the winning team gets to take it home for a day for parties and parades and such. Must get pretty battered up over the course of a year. Good thing the original is locked away in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Let's just hope the replica can stay in Alberta for the next year.
