While enjoying living in a peaceful and free country this morning (actually, I was just sleeping, but the two are certainly not mutually exclusive), a marching band tromped down the street, tooting horns, drumming drums, and other such marching band-type things.

Honestly, a marching band marched right down the street. It was surreal. Anyways, in honour of the day (it’s Remembrance Day in Canada for those who don’t know what I’m talking about) I present a few links:

• The Canadian Virtual War Memorial – An amazing resource of veteran names with links to their corresponding page in First World War Book of Remembrance (this is amazing, every hand-drawn page is scanned). Nice work ffoeg.
• Remembrance Day becoming more vital from National Post Online
• Remembering on-line from The Globe and Mail
• A nation pays tribute and We Remember from the CBC

We have finally reached the end of the “milleniyumyum” affair. Somewhat behind schedule mind you, but that seems to be all the rage these days. In any case, the punishment to be adopted for Steven’s use of the “word” “milleniyumyum” has been kindly provided by long time listener, first time caller, Sinned*. He has decreed that Steven’s punishment is to be the following:

make him eat donuts…
lots and lots of donuts..
plain…old…donuts…
we’ll see how milleniyumyummie he feels then…

Hopefully some pictures, or at least an artist’s rendition, of the punishment being executed will be available soon.

I would like to be able to provide Sinned with a mug or a t-shirt for his winning suggestion, but we have none. Perhaps I will take up a collection, though that certainly seems extremely unlikely.

* Name has been scrambled to protect the innoncent. Sinned is much better than Wehttam. Lucky bastard.

The Onion gets it right again.

Their
Bush Or Gore: ‘A New Era Dawns’ is so true it’s almost not funny. Almost.

One of the best descriptions of the American election I have read recently:

It hurts, doesn’t it? Being forced to choose between I guy who’s so smart that he’s a complete idiot, and a guy who’s so dumb he doesn’t even know he’s dumb – he’s like a dog who thinks he’s a person.

Wisdom like this could only come from one place. Suck of course. More specifically Filler, which appears on Suck every Wednesday.

And yes, I am aware the election has not officially been won, but let’s be realistic – it’s over.

A dead man has been elected to the senate.

I can’t even think of anything funny to say about this. You just can’t make stuff like this up.

To the 96,942,751 of you who voted for Bush/Gore: May you live with the consequences of your “decision” for years to come.

To the 2,647,464 of you who voted for Ralph Nader: Thank you. It was brave to vote for someone you knew wouldn’t be in office but still deserved your vote.

To the 174,294,659 of you who didn’t vote: May you live with the consequences the decision of the 100,648,835 who did, never complaining about politics, leadership or government until such time as you find it worthwhile to get off your ass once every four years.

In response to stupid man wins nearly interminable election

I’ll chime in to the chorus of Matt’s lady-friends throughout the years with the all-to-familiar phrase; “You’ve jumped the gun again matt!”

The election is still hanging on the Disney World State.

Thanks to adbusters for the image.

George W. Bush has won the American election. While I’m not entirely certain of how, or why, this is important to me, it seems bad. Ralph Nader got a miniscule amount of the vote, but expect liberals (the ideology, not the party) to continue to use him as a scapegoat. Good night.

While not having anything to base an opinion on is seldom an impedement to forming an opinion….

On second thought, I’ll not finish this post. It was just a bunch more words anyway. Essentially, the gist of my post was to be that the future of Napster is so fuzzy that commentary is useless. So no commentary.
