Excessive Self-Massage Leads To Blindness
As I sit here this morning on the 13th floor of bunker headquarters (downtown location) listening to the upper-right-quadrant-wingnuts on CFRA talk about July the 4th, interviewing the US ambasador to Canada, and flaunting invitations to a special event at the ambassadors residence, I have to wonder why another countries birthday is worthy of the (at least) 4 hours of air time CFRA is giving it.
… and caller, after caller, after caller, after caller, after caller, is taking the opportunity to fawn upon and extol the virtues of our friends to the south who are described as our “best friends in the world”, our “great benefactors”, our only “protectors”, and a country we “don’t know what we’d do without”…. all, of course, despite both what Liberals and liberals have done and said to, and about, them over the years
Those familiar with the bunker know that I’m a talk radio junkie (OK, I admit it, it’s more than that, I’m a full fledged addict), and I spend more than a few hours every day listening to American talk radio to see what they’re yammering about because it amuses me…. and ya know what, I didn’t hear one single mention of Canada’s birthday on their talk radio stations last Tuesday.
Dear CFRA nation, our friends south of the border have better things to do today, they are not listening, and most of them don’t bloody care what you think (or are shaking their heads in wonderment at your comments) …. so exactly why are you bothering, and whose world view are you really massaging?

Yes, but the extra hair keeps the extremities warmer in winter.
Whooee! Well, SL, I ain’t about to extol any Merkan virtues but since it’s their national holiday and they’re our next door neighbours, I reckon maybe a little reflection and pity is in order. The poor, damn Merkans got economic troublems and they can’t afford gas fer the Hummers. They ain’t gettin’ any international respect, no matter how many Merka-haters they lock up in Gitmo. They been lied to by their president about everything from WMD’s to GHG’s. Their habeuses ain’t got any corpuses. Their ethanol farms are under water where even GMO corn won’t sprout. They spent all their money fightin’ imaginary boogymen while the real threats of climate change, severe weather, energy shortages and poverty slapped ‘em silly. I can’t help but pity the poor, unfortunate neighbours.

I saw at least 3 American TV stations give us a shout out on Canada Day. No harm in returning the favour.
I gotta tell ya JimBobby, I been having one of them weeks where the hurrieder I go the behinder I get, and there’s been more dumb-a$$ weirdness in the wires than I’ve seen in a long time… but that “Their habeuses ain’t got any corpuses” line made it all a lot better.
Mind you, people was looking at me a bit funny by the end of the day as I walked the halls from one job to another muttering “their habeuses ain’t got no corpuses“, and chuckling – but that’s all right, it made the last afternoon of the week pass faster, and that’s a good thing.
Thank you
Downtown Bunker HQ – how’s that place holding up?
A nice place, but it was always too hot or too cold. Between the Libyans, the Japanese, the Military personnel, the people learning french, and the arms manufacturers, it was kind of a cozy place. Maybe I’ll drop by next week for a cup a joe.
You should, the official coffee shop of the bunker has the tables and chairs out on the sidewalk and is (once again this year) completely ignoring the “you can’t smoke because there’s an overhang and that means your inside” rules.
I’ll see you on Tuesday. Give you a shout on the cell before hand.
