Prime Minister Harper takes plane to Cyprus to evacuate Canadians

What a publicity stunt. After days of inaction over Canadians stranded in Lebanon Prime Minister Harper took his military airbus to Cyprus to help bring back 100 Canadians today. Call me cynical but his spokes person said that most of his staff and all journalists were booted of the plane to make room for as many people as possible. Except one, there apparently was plenty of room to bring a long his staff photographer. It’s just very disappointing to hear things like this from someone who claimed that he would clean up our government. It’s shameful to use people fearing for their lives as propaganda. If the former Liberal government had shown such poor leadership Harper would have been all over them calling for resignations. It has been reported that the family killed over the weekend in the bombings tried all weekend to contact the Canadian embassy but it was closed. Where is the leadership? At least now we know what Harpers hidden agenda might be. If this is a “measured response” in his mind what is this man capable of?

Saw III - Shawnee Smith


If you didnt loose your lunch the first two times here's one more chance. Saw III is in production in Toronto as we speak. I have to admit that I really loved the first two, there's nothing like a good slasher flick, and the Saw franchise has a story to go with it. Shawnee Smith is back in the starring roll. Your probably asking who the hell is Shawnee Smith. I'm not sure if you can classify her as a character actor, but she's the type of actor that you most likely know her face, but not her name. Shawnee's been it quite a few movies and television shows that were quite good. A few of my favourites are The Island, Becker (tv), Armaggeddon, The Shining (tv mini), The Stand (tv mini), and Summer School.


Don't Hassel the Hoff


Now I see why he is uber famous all over Europe. I must give Joel credit for getting me Hooked on a feeling. I will admit the fur covered Eskimo, eating a fish, while surfing gives Kit the talking car a strong challenge for cheesiest moment in video history. I still think Jump in my car comes out the winner. What do you think?
