So, CBC's made this list, and, have decided to make the Top 10 'interactive'. The special last night counted down from 50 to 11, while the top 10 will be voted on over the next few weeks, with a series of specials for each candidate, with a celebrity advocate helping argue each nominee's case. Anyway, here's the first part of the list (grabbed off the Globe & Mail website): Obviously, some of the list is bullshit. That Hal Anderson guy organized a campaign to get people to vote for him, and there are definitely other people who are on there buy don't belong or are higher/lower than they should be, but it's an interesting list, anyway. The top 10 is listed in alphabetical order: -Frederick Banting -Alexander Graham Bell -Don Cherry -Tommy Douglas -Terry Fox -Wayne Gretzky -Sir John A. Macdonald -Lester B. Pearson -David Suzuki -Pierre Elliott Trudeau The first special airs tonight at 8, with George Stroumbolopoulous arguing Tommy Douglas' case. The one I'm really interested in, though, is the Don Cherry one, with Bret Hart being his advocate.

I think if this show were cancelled, Rudo's reaction would be almost as entertaining as the show itself.

When the series is done, we can just have this thread become the mock-Tim Carver analysis thread. 'Generally speaking, as a rule, it's easier to hit a grand slam when the bases are loaded.'

Alina is stupid since she thought that the Tampa Bay Lightning would win the Stanley Cup before the Leafs. Oh.

I watched some of that show tonight, and it was ok. Not as preachy as Fahrenheit, but probably even more mean-spirited. I'm not quite sure how much of it I believe (that stuff about Hitler seems a little too out there for me to have never heard of it before, especially since the guy's son AND grandson have both been President now, you'd think that would be common knowlegde). There were also strange moments where the narrator would say one thing and then have an interview with someone who'd say the opposite, and then never follow it up (example, the narrator said, at one point, 'Bush [sr.] sent anthrax to Hussein' and then right after that, someone from Carlyle, who's name escapes me, said 'We did not send anthrax to Hussein' and then the topic wasn't touched again). I think CBC's pretty much preaching to the choir, though, by showing this, as a good chunk of Canadians don't like Bush, anyway.

According to Retrosheet, "Time of Game: 4:42".

I'm pretty sure the Red Sox will force a 7th game before losing on a walk-off homer by Enrique Wilson.

Wasn't that fun?

1 cat (a Maine coon one), who's about 8 years old.

Didn't they do a piece on this a while back on the Daily Show?

That's a John Cerutti (RIP) original.

If it means anything, I'm pretty sure that Alomar has said he wants to wear a Blue Jays hat in the Hall (if he makes it).

I might watch this if I remember, but considering I forget about SmackDown most weeks, that's not very likely.

My point is more that you seem to scour the internet, looking for something that may possibly be bad for someone on the left who's high profile. I'm not even saying that this won't be an issue, just that it's getting old.

Who cares? Do you really have nothing better to do all day than sit around and look for 'damning' things about Democrats and Liberals?

How about HD and Current Events?

Yeah. Stevens taking off Lindros' head was #88.

How about David Wells?

So, I went to sleep right after the baseball game ended last night, so I had this dream that the Blue Jays made the playoffs. It's the ALCS, and someone on the Jays (Eric Hinske, I think), hits a 2-run homer. Now, since the score is 3.5 to 1.53 in favour of the Royals (who have also, somehow, made the playoffs), the Blue Jays take a 3.53-3.5 lead. I then came on the internet and sent an IM to someone, telling them that the Blue Jays were going to make the World Series, because they are winning the first game of the series by .02 runs. Then, they cut to this guy in the studio who is talking about some guy named 'Darth'. I'm assuming this guy used to be a manager, or something, as he's wearing a baseball cap and a jacket. Anyway, he keeps going on about this Darth fellow, saying things like, 'When we needed a big hit, I put Darth in,' or 'If the ball was hit to him, Darth would make the play'.
