The surging Buds won their fourth straight on the road, whipping the Hamilton Bulldogs 5-1 at the Copps Coliseum to end an ugly sixteen game winless skid in the Steel city that dated back to October 28, 2001. Jean Sebastian Aubin won his debut as the Maple Leafs have now

"No, no, no, Lisa. If adults don't like their jobs, they don't go on strike. They just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That's the American Way."
I just got home from watching The Tragically Hip at the ACC tonight. It was a great show and I'll write a more detailed synopsis tomorrow. I have updated my Tragically Hip page with tonight's setlist and I've updated the song statistics on that page. More tomorrow. Good night everybody.

I just got my flu shot. It will immunize me against certain strains of influenza and will lessen the symptoms for strains it doesn't cover. As a resident of the great province of Ontario, I didn't pay a cent for it either. It was easy to get, I just made
Just a few days ago I was left flabbergasted at the fact that nearly half of Americans believe that God created humans in their present form. Now I'm really stupefied. I just read this CBS News article that states 37% of Americans want the teaching of 'evolutionism' replaced outright. I
