To Ace, May long

Long weekend in Canada, eh! Saturday morning Round 2 = woo-hoo!

It's Victoria Day on Monday, a National Holiday. Every good Canadian is at least getting drunk a coupla times this weekend.

Oh yeah, we also have a Conservative government. And a balanced budget. And we're actually paying down our debt with each fucking budget.

You know how good it feels when you're putting money on your credit card debt and you see that huge ass balance actually going down? That's Canada.

You know how shitty it feels when you've run up your credit card with stupid shit like that box of fudge from Moose Jaw and that pirate shot-glass from Florida and all that other shit in between? And you're maxed out on 4 of 5 of your cards and you don't know what the fuck to do cuz you're gonna be paying for those Wal-Mart trips forever. That's America.

Certified 52% stupid.

Welcome

All right. Welcome here. Hope you enjoy your visit. Have a few laughs perhaps, and maybe even venture to think a little about things. Thinking can be fun. Especially with a drink or two. Or three or four, or five or six, or seven or eight, or maybe even more. (Tip o' the hat to the Dropkick Murphys and their rendition of Auld Lang Syne!)

Let's find our sea legs and try to ride out the storms of these days together, shall we?

Oh, maybe I should have a quick little caveat and remind people that if you're a liberal or a tee-totaler, or an atheist, or a global-warming-warner, or a pick-a-flavour-of-offensee, well, you might not enjoy this little home as much as some of us do.

God bless us everyone said blessed Tiny Tim.

All right then. Let's have a drink. (Well, another, that is.)

Cheers. Cheers indeed.
