Whoah! Canada

Here’s an excellent article on WashingtonPost.com about how damned cool Canada is.

And I’m not talking temperature here, folks:

The news from Canada is just a little disorienting — no, shocking — for Americans. Depending on your view, isn’t America supposed to be the cradle of the coolest, most cutting-edge culture? Didn’t we invent civil rights? Alternatively, if such so-called cool culture is corrupt and these “rights” wrong, at least by golly we’re supposed to get to Hell first.

Now Canada is leading the way.

And America is looking fussy, Victorian and imperial.

The Wisdom of Kid Rock

Heard on CNN:

“And Wolf, if I could make just one more comment. I’ve been watching CNN here and I keep hearing about the decision with the Supreme Court with the homosexual ruling, and I just want to say that I think it’s a beautiful thing because, if you really think about it, the more gay men there are in the world, that just leaves more chicks for me and you.”

Y’know, I’ve been saying this for *years*.

Geek!

You are 41% geek
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator.

Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.

You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You’ll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!

Geek [to You]: I’m givin’ her all she’s got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!

You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.
