I'm on 4 hrs of sleep! You know I don't know my SNL trivia well on four hours of sleep.

 

I did once name every cast member/featured player in SNL history off the top of my head.

 

 

Soooo..

 

How about that Canada

[Guest MikeSC]

I bow to the knowledge of the hardcore SNL geeks.

 

So, who was that Norm MacDonald guy?

Some guy with a weird David Hasslehoff obsession.

 

Not very funny

I heard that the current two-woman WU update cast was much, much funnier.

And they were right for not choosing Seth Meyers for WU

Amy Poehler- laugh riot.

 

I know Norm is now an American citizen so he got to vote for W. yesterday! I wonder if he will get invited to the inauguration like in 2000. He gets a TV show deal and a Bush win in the same day

I'm sure her tits would help in covering up a problem so you'd never something bad happened.

As a rule, it's wrong to blame tits for any wrong doing. In fact, if we could find a way to run a set of nice tits for President, I'd vote for them.

Ten Reasons Not to Move to Canada

by Sarah Anderson

 

 

Ready to say screw this country and buy a one-way ticket north? Here are some reasons to stay in the belly of the beast.

 

1. The Rest of the World. After the February 2003 antiwar protests, the New York Times described the global peace movement as the world's second superpower.Their actions didn't prevent the war, but protestors in nine countries have succeeded in pressuring their governments to pull their troops from Iraq and/or withdraw from the so-called coalition of the willing. Antiwar Americans owe it to themajority of the people on this planet who agree with them to stay and do what they can to end the suffering in Iraq and prevent future pre-emptive wars.

 

2. People Power Can Trump Presidential Power. The strength of social movements can be more important than whoever is in the White House. Example: In 1970, President Nixon supported the Occupational Safety and Health Act, widely considered the most important pro-worker legislation of the last 50 years. It didnt happen because Nixon loved labor unions, but because union power was strong. Stay and help build the peace, economic justice, environmental and other social movements that can make change.

 

3. The great strides made in voter registration and youth mobilization must be built on rather than abandoned.

 

4. Like Nicaraguans in the 1980s, Iraqis Need U.S. Allies. After Ronald Reagan was re-elected in 1984, progressives resisted the urge to flee northwards and instead stayed to fight the U.S. governments secret war of arming the contras in Nicaragua and supporting human rights atrocities throughout Central America. Iraq is a different scenario, but we can still learn from the U.S.-Central America solidarity work that exposed illegal U.S. activities and their brutal consequences and ultimately prevailed by forcing a change in policy.

 

5. We Can't Let up on the Free Trade Front Activists have held the Bush administration at bay on some issues. On trade, opposition in the United States and in developing countries has largely blocked the Bush administrations corporate-driven trade agenda for four years. The President is expected to soon appoint a new top trade negotiator to break the impasse. Whoever he picks would love to see a progressive exodus to Canada.

 

6. Barak Obama. His victory to become the only African-American in the U.S. Senate was one of the few bright spots of the election. An early opponent of the Iraq war, Obama trounced his primary and general election opponents, even in white rural districts, showing he could teach other progressives a few things about broadening their base. As David Moberg of In These Times puts it, Obama demonstrates how a progressive politician can redefine mainstream political symbols to expand support for liberal policies and politicians rather than engage in creeping capitulation to the right.

 

7. Say so long to the DLC. Barry Goldwater suffered a resounding defeat when he ran for president against Lyndon Johnson in 1964, but his campaign spawned a conservative movement that eventually gained control of the Republican Party and elected Ronald Reagan in 1980. Progressives should see the excitement surrounding Dean, Kucinich, Moseley Braun, and Sharpton during the primary season as the foundation for a similar takeover of the Democratic Party.

 

8. 2008. President Bush is entering his second term facing an escalating casualty rate in Iraq, a record trade deficit, a staggering budget deficit, sky-high oil prices, and a deeply divided nation. As the Republicans face likely failure, progressives need to start preparing for regime change in 2008 or sooner. Remember that Nixon was re-elected with a bigger margin than Bush, but faced impeachment within a year.

 

9. Americans are Not All Yahoos. Although I wouldn't attempt to convince a Frenchman of it right now, many surveys indicate that Americans are more internationalist than the election results suggest. In a September poll by the University of Maryland, majorities of Bush supporters expressed support for multilateral approaches to security, including the United States being part of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (68%), the International Criminal Court (75%), the treaty banning land mines (66%), and the Kyoto Treaty on climate change (54%). The problem is that most of these Bush supporters werent aware that Bush opposed these positions. Stay and help turn progressive instincts into political power.

 

10. Winter. Average January temperature in Ottawa: 12.2°F.

Forget Sharpton. He might make sense on more then a few instances, however he comes with far too much baggage.

They're advocating Kucinich and Mosely-Braun, too?

 

Jesus, I like the idea of an actual opposing party. This will make the Dems --- well, more irrelevant than they are.

What if it was a nice set of tits, but they were, say, "newer" than they once were. Would we have to wait for the silicon to get to 35 before we could vote for them?
