The Ottawa Citizen actually endorsed a Green Party candidate yesterday. Pity he's running against Ed Broadbent.

Is it me, or is it so apropos that they're driving the comics to the house on the short bus?

Watching a Jack Layton press conference...he's blasting Martin for (gasp!) stressing the importance of debt reduction. This guy scares me.

I would say that double bogeying on the 17th while tied for the lead is choking. He missed a putt that was practically a gimmie. The only reason hackers consider five-footers gimmes is because they can't make them themselves when called upon. That putt might have been harder than the one he made to win the Masters. A. We aren't talking about hackers, we are talking about pros. If a 5 footer isn't a gimmie to a pro they don't belong out there. You can't be serious. Pros miss about half of all those "gimme" 5-footers they look at. Add to that the fact that he's putting downhill on glass, and a pro will probably miss that 2 out of 3 times. Did anyone else? Didn't think so. Goosen was more lucky than good himself.

I think it's more due to the fact that they don't allow women.

They said during the telecast that they were running at 13 or 14, which would put them equal to or worse than Augusta's greens. Mike Weir had a great quote: "I feel sorry for the members who won't be able to play their course for a few weeks."

That may be an optical illusion, but isn't that K-Zone box a bit narrow? It looks like it cuts off the outside quarter of the plate.

No matter. No one is going to be able to form a coalition, and we'll be back at the polls within a year.

Carnoustie was also wildly unfair that week. Many of the fairways were so narrow that they were unhittable.

Bullshit. He got jobbed so many times it was criminal. He should have at least four majors -- he got jobbed by Tway at the 1986 PGA, and by Mize at the 1987 Masters, who holed lucky shots. Mize's was a mishit that happened to go in the hole. Were you watching the same tournament I was?? This was the second highest-scoring Open in the last sixty years. The course was tough enough the first two days -- it was really tough on Saturday, and downright criminal yesterday. The greens were DEAD. Making them play on a golf course with dead greens is stupid. Fuck that shit. Goosen won this tournament. Mickelson certainly didn't give it to him. He putted better than anyone I've ever seen. Mickelson should've won by 4 or 5 the way Goosen was playing tee to green yesterday.

Funniest line ever in the NBA injury listing... "Pistons F Darko Milicic undergoes surgery (hand)" Remember, kids: High-fiving your teammates on the bench can shorten your career.

Quick Change. "Nude women...clowns welcome..."

Should've gotten a condo. Way easier. We move into ours July 15th.

Wonerfully underrated movie. One of my favourites.

Well, you knew this was coming...

I've had bowel movements I cared about more than this thread.

30 in two months. I'm pretty sure Rendclaw is near 40.

Someone paid Alan Henderson $7.8 million? Damn.

That's what happens when you enact a Charter of Rights and Freedoms with a "notwithstanding" clause. Stupidest thing that ever happened to this country.

We've never seen Bonds be tested...Lance has been tested regularly for years and come up clean every time. I call bullshit until there's some actual proof.

Running the Mooseheads probably costs 1/10th as much as running an NHL franchise, if that. There aren't enough people with money in Nova Scotia to pay NHL-level dollars for tickets to support an NHL franchise night after night.

Magic's not happy... Nothing in there I disagree with.

Was he drinking with college kids?

Yes, and amazingly it was his first one.
