Stuff and Things V

• The War Nerd has another column up, on someplace you've never heard of where Russia is acting as the good guy. Check this guy out, he's sort of a cross between Robert Kaplan and P.J. O'Rourke -- but more cynical.
• Lots of things are happening in John Kerry's extended Vietnam flashback, though you wouldn't know it by reading the papers. Check out the Captains Quarter's for the latest developments.
• Patrick McClarty gets mad mad mad at the 'champagne socialists' for ruining Vancouver Island and encouraging head-in-the-sand thinking on complex issues. They infest Chelsea too, Patrick, but I've managed to make peace with them. I just wish the local grocery stores weren't crowded with all this 'organic' food...
• Mark Steyn also takes a few shots at them (the ones in Hollywood that is), and he never misses.
• Bob Tarantino lacks the finesse of Steyn and instead goes postal in the editorial offices of the Star and Globe. Whatever gets the job done.
• Hey! I got a mini Instalanche the other day! One tiny, insignificant link (that's me in the brackets), and still hundreds of people followed it. I am honoured, I really am.
• Thanks to those who added me to their blogrolls last week. More people reading my page gives me the incentive to keep writing -- and if I keep writing, someday I might create something worth reading.
• I've writen about what a strange show the Teletubbies is. Well, it's nothing compared to BoohBah, by the same creators. It's a wonderful, revolutionary show for kids but would no doubt be eagerly appreciated by the guests at your next pot party.
• Being a Bush supporter in Canada is a little bit uncomfortable. Hugh Segal feels my pain.
• Mama, Papa, Max and Talia will be heading off to adventure later this week. And the adventure will be blogged -- stay tuned.
