Did O-Reilly type "Eh?" The correct spelling is "Et" unless he was using a play on words with the "eh" Canuck thing. :-)

America sends $3 billion a year to Africa to combat AIDS. Canada sends $270 million; France, $60 million.

That's why you always hear this statistic measured per-capita, or as a ratio to GDP. Nobody (besides Bono, of all people) wants to admit a Republican president is actually doing something while everyone else is just talking.

What would the world do if we really were evil? I mean, I would the planet be like if we acted like the bad Enterprise crew in Mirror/Mirror?

Thank God that we are a good, kind people. We try to do the right thing.

My wife and I just scrapped our Canadian August vacation plans a week ago. Our kids hadn't known about the trip, and we've made other plans in the US.

It caused a little friction between us, because my wife isn't as politically active as I am, but I just couldn't bring myself to reward Canada with our vacation dollars.

Perhaps they should refuse our evil Yankee dollars and not cross the border.

What's a "Canada"?

Dear Canadian Teens,

If the U.S. was truly evil, you would not be Canadians maligning a neighboring country, you would but U.S. subjects working for "the glory of the empire".


Best regards,

The U.S.

I get most of my news online & don't look much at the local papers, so when I checked out the Chicago Tribune (a supposedly moderate paper) today, I was surprised at the level of fact free anti GWB Haterade that must have been drunk by the cartoonists whose 'works' were shown in the collected political cartoons in the editorial section.

Then there was a 'letter to the editor' by some woman castigating GWB's daughters for wearing nice clothes to some event. Her 'reasoning' was that our troops in Iraq supposedly don't get to play 'dress up'. Talk about 'beyond the looking glass' irrationality. Lefties have really lost it (not that many of them ever had it).

I have always found it amusing that 90% of Canadians live on or near the U.S. border. Imagine, this huge expanse of a country filled with lakes and mountain ranges galore, and here they all are, lined up like sugar ants on a jelly bean, near as they can get to the 'evil' and 'destructive' and 'intolerable' and 'heartless' America!

Makes perfect sense to me.

Too bad that, during the Revolutionary War, the Continental Army's efforts to take Canada failed.

Me to Canadian teenagers: "Just go 'Cheney' yourself!"

Maybe we should ban TV shows filmed in Canada.

I happened to be in Windsor Ontario this weekend and enjoyed a cab ride driven by an Iraqi whose family is still in Northern Iraq and some in Baghdad. This man praised the US efforts to free Iraq and thanked my husband and myself for America's sacrifices. In fact, he told me, "believe it or not, I have a picture of George W. Bush in my house, he has freed our country." In addition he said he wished he was an American just so he could vote for Bush. I told him I would think of him in November when I cast my vote for W.

How very true, knighthawk!
