The hubby went to a convenience store trade show for work, and brought me home some Jones "Orange You Glad for Change" Cola. Jones is funny. I'm pretty sure they're the company that produced the "Pink" soda I bought a few years back. The stuff actually tasted like pink!
Poor Canada, we're suffering from major Obama Envy right now. We had an interesting Prime Minister when I first moved up here. Jean Chrétien was a former boxer who, upon discovering a guy lurking in the PM's residence late one night, took him out with a statue to the head. Chrétien's record was mixed... he kept Canada out of Iraq, but he also presided over some major scandals and financial boondoggles. Still, I wonder if Canadians are missing Chrétien a bit. Our current PM, Stephen Harper, is a wolf in sheep's clothing, combining cutthroat politics with an exceedingly bland personal image.
So many Canadians are looking over at the USA, wishing we had an alternative with more colour and more compassion. Unfortunately, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has a personality that's about as compelling as that copy of The New Yorker sitting in a California dentist's office. Though I'd certainly prefer his politics, boy I'd love to have an Obama instead. Guess I'll have to settle for my Jones Cola.
Hey, I like The New Yorker!
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, we have an awesome (so far) president. At least, he's good at speaking!
We also have this giant, massive mess though, and I don't know how we're going to crawl out of it, even with Obama. :/ I still want to move to Canada! Though y'all need to do something about that whole horse slaughter thing.
