Some things never change.........
There could be a good possibility that we will face the USA for Olympic gold. Personally I don't have a hate on for the US, in fact I enjoy visiting and spending vacation time with our neighbors to the south.
My mum (being from Scotland) used to tell a joke that expresses most British peoples' view of Americans, especially during the second world war.
It goes like this, an American tourist was drinking in the lovely sight of Loch Lomond, which is nestled between the low and highlands of Scotland. It's also one of the largest lakes in Great Britain. He wistfully remarks to his friend "Oh, if only we could have a lake this beautiful back in the US." The wee Scottish guide quips "if ye could suck as hard as ye blow you'll have it over there in no time."
Sadly, not much has changed since the war. This is an email we received from a friend of ours who lives in the US. He's not American, but clearly he's embraced their culture with gusto.
How disappointing and heart-breaking it was to watch the poor Canadian hockey team getting its ass-kicked by the Americans last night at the Olympic games; worse yet, it happened in front of the whole world and on its in own soil. How humiliating it must have been for a country traditionally so proud of its hockey prowess! Last night’s performance was definitely a lesson in humility, if nothing else!
Predictions, as they say are for gypsies, so I won't be making any about Olympic hockey results. But I will say this, if they ever decide to add an Olympic event in Blowhardism, I'm confident that Team USA will walk away with Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Yo Team Canada! Please, oh please yank their doodle......
We may or may not win a medal, but I'll be happy as long as we beat Team USA. Being born and bred in Montreal, I have a built in revulsion for anything or anyone connected to the Toronto Maple Leafs. My sister lives in the US and is as nervous as a kitten, if the US wins tonight, the taunting from her friends will be unbearable. The smirk on Burke's face could make me lose my dinner. Mr. Moey's dinner could end up on his head. My cats could be permanently psychologically damaged by my incessant wailing. There's a lot at stake here, but if all is right in the world speed and skill will trump truculence. Right?
Team Canada models new state of the art hockey equipment made exclusively for tonight's game.

Tiger droppings......
Tiger Woods came out with a public apology today. A load of tiger poop, if you ask me. Just for once, I'd like guys (and gals) to be honest about infidelity. The apology should go something like this, "You have no idea how sorry I am that I got caught."
