Go Canada!

Canada wins dumbest government at World Stupidity Awards; Bush wins one award.
MONTREAL (CP) - The Canadian government secured a surprise win Friday, beating out such luminaries as Iran, North Korea and the United States, for the dumbest government of the year at the World Stupidity Awards....

....U.S. President George W. Bush may not have led the dumbest government, but he was honoured with the award for the Stupidest Statement of the Year after telling a news conference: "They never stop thinking of ways of harming America, and neither do we."

Well, Canada obviously won because they were the host country. I really despise that kind of favoritism. We see it all the time in the Olympics don't we?


This would be funny if it weren't so true:

"North Korean dictator Kim Jong for Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet"

I'm never up on current events. When did Bush make the ridiculous remark "They never stop thinking of ways of harming America, and neither do we."? Did he really say that? And more importantly, who was fired for his inability to improvise?

Well, Phil. Now you know.

One of the few honest things Bush Jr. has uttered while in office.

I care less about who votes for who, than I do for who doesn't even bother to vote. I feel very stongly about my 'duty' to vote. I wish that it didn't always come down to who is less likely to screw up this country. I tend to vote independant for that reason. Although I did wht I could this time to make the world 'a safer place', I lost!
