* Am I a bad Canadian because it never even occured to me to make a Gretzky reference for the 99th episode?
* I remember how bad I felt for Americans in the 2004 election when their only choices for President were Bush and Kerry. And now I look at our party leaders in this election: Two men who somehow feel it's their right to be prime minister; one guy who doesn't stand a chance, but at least seems to be putting the Canadian people ahead of his own ambitions; and a guy whose sole purpose is to break up this country. Sigh.

* What was with the Sunday edition of the Ottawa Citizen this week? The Citizen uses the worst columnists working in the English language (God bless Dan Gardner and Tony Atherton, though) throughout the week, I want enjoyable fluff on the weekend. Enjoyable new fluff. Instead they rerun a Chuck Norris piece they already ran this week, and what people in other countries call the "@" symbol in e-mail, the exact same article they ran months ago.

It Was the Roy Show!: Monday December 19, 2005
No ItBS! this week. I pushed buttons and did extensive paperwork stuff behind the scenes, but the music was chosen by Roy as part of that "co-host a show" thing I offered during Funding Drive. Because someone requested that the playlist get posted, here it is. No episode number or links, because this was not an official ItBS! show, so you'll have to do your own research.
