      Hope the Oilers do it. An Ottawa, Edmonton final would be fantastic.

      Congrats to Ottawa, although they play an intensely boring style.

       

      The officiating has been doing its very best to insure that the Oilers don't advance.  The worst outcome for the Final , from Bettmans point of view, would be Oilers-Senators.

  3. Reminder to apply for the Milo scholarship while there's still time!

      Remember Red Dawn? The original...

      That one Cuban officer used to being the Revolutionary who found himself part of the hated establishment.

      Great scene...for a bad movie...lol.

      Sunday, Milo was gay. Monday, he was a gay pedophile. Today he's an unemployed immigrant.  Deport him, Trump!

  4. White House sends Conway and Spicer out to shill for Ivanka's low-selling, failing brand. Sad!

      It's sort of like the glow that emits from Trump's face, especially when he's telling another fib.

      Apparently, she was wrong in doing it but at least, she didn't sell secrets to China!

      The unemployment...  the economic slowdown for Alberta...  the complete lack of a fiscal plan when commodity prices decline....   all under the Conservative watch.   They were awful stewards of the Alberta economy.

      Squid, I'm no Harper fan, but he didn't have any control over Saudi and Iranian oil production levels and thus global oil prices.  It hurt everyone around the world producing oil.

      It seems to be in every single MSM media that I can find, including the venerable Huffington Post. Of course drummindiver can't see that because the poor right wing is always the victim.

  6. Donald Trump: "Meryl Streep is excellent, she's a fine person too."

      Well.....it still applies.  Your statement says he thought her an excellent and fine person.

      I'm saying, "not at that time, Mr. President-elect."

      He was asked who his favorite actresses were, and he named Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. He added that she's a fine person as well.

      Quote

      Actually, my point was given in a humorous way - and I find it humorous indeed, putting myself in the shoes of anti-Trumpsters that night.

      Nicole Kidman and Steve Harvey can do as they wish, as can Meryl Streep. 

      Not sure why Trump would want to associate himself with a guy like Steve Harvey, though. The guy is an ignoramus and an unrepentant adulterer... why would Trump want to hang out somebody like that?

      Did you see what Steve Harvey did at the Miss Universe pageant? It's a disaster, folks, let me tell you, you wouldn't even believe it. I've never seen anything like it. SAD!

      They can do as they wish....... like, interject the crudest curse words on national tv like, "motherf***er?"    You're okay with that, hmmmm?

      Well Kimmy, Trump didn't ask to hang out with Steve Harvey.  And Steve Harvey didn't vote for Trump - that was apparently laid out on the table. 

      If you watched that video, you'd understand why Steve went to see Trump! 

      HE WAS ASKED BY OBAMA to try to meet with Trump.

      Very sad, but not unexpected. Reports said she was without a pulse for fifteen minutes after paramedics started working on her, and that was fifteen minutes after the landing. She battled demons her entire life, but was still wildly successful AT life.

      Could have been a Haiku:

      Sunday morning rain
      washes the Saturday night
      vomit from the streets

  9. Please refrain from calls for political violence tonight.

    Emotions will run high, but regardless who wins, calling for assassinations or lynchings is not acceptable.

      Visited family in Edmonton!   Didn't get into a bare-knuckle brawl with mom, so trip was a success by Kimmy standards.

      It's choice. Women can legally choose to wear hijab in Canada, including that Mosque according to someone who's been there. In Iran, that choice is lacking. Choice is the difference.

      Under Sharia Law...no choice. All women...non-Muslims too...wear the veil.

      Must be a small marina if 200 bucks damage is

      "devastating".

      Go Iceland. Loved their version of the Haka, they should do it every game. Have always rooted for England in the past but this time I didn't care.

      Had it with Maker's Mark bourbon last night. Pretty good but I still prefer it with gin.

      Negronis and Boulevardiers for everyone! Currently drinking an Americano-- the predecessor of the Negroni. (Campari and vermouth, but soda water instead of gin.)

      Then found the bitter taste of Campari at a dinner party. Imagine, 38 years old and never tried Campari!

      kimmy

      I used to only drink basic drinks... (ie, if it has more than 1 ingredient, the second ingredient is pop or juice...) or basic cocktails (Caesar, Margarita, Mojito...) but a friend ordered a Negroni for me, and it completely changed my world. Well, the alcohol parts of my world, anyway.

      ya ya, Boges! What qualifications did Harper rely upon in appointing Vickers as ambassador to Ireland? Why, I seem to recall that appointment caused a bit of 'concern' within the diplomatic corp - imagine that.

    4. Boges

      Yes because Liberal patronage has always been keenly scrutinized.
