This has been on my “to post” list for a while, so I’ll take care of it now.

There’s a picture of my cat Billy on Stuff On My Cat.

Yes, there is a website for everything.

I’ve subjected karaoke audiences to my rendition of “Take on Me” too many times. I’ve always liked that video.

And the spoof on Family Guy was brilliant.

God help me, I agree with Ann Coulter about something.

This is a rare thing. Coulter has said that Canada is lucky that the U.S. allows it to exist. She has also put forward the idea of denying women the vote to ensure Republican presidents.

“Miers is no more qualified to sit on the Supreme Court than I am to be a sumo wrestler.”

Ha!

The CBC and the Guild have an agreement. But I’m still going picketing today. We’ll see what the mood on the line is.

There may be fewer people there. Some will stay away because they don’t see the point of picketing anymore and some because, with the retroactivity in the proposed agreement, they won’t need the money.

Full retroactivity? Cha-ching!

I find these high-speed (that’s slo-mo) videos impossibly amusing.

Check out people getting slapped and what happens when you drop a grape on a mouse trap.

There’s a real hero in the CBC studios today. Sosa the cat saved her owner from an eastern cottonmouth snake. She received a medal of bravery from Purina and all the ‘nip she can handle.

Of course, to be fair, Sosa didn’t know the snake was poisonous. She probably would have attacked a piece of yarn caught in the wind. But still…

Declan Patrick O’Kane was born today around noon.

Considering the identity of the most famous Declan Patrick, I’ll probably end up calling my sister’s kid “Elvis.”

OK, after seeing Joey’s pics of Kickass Karaoke, I’ve decided I’m not going to miss this event again.

My rendition of “Just a Gigolo” may not be hardcore enough for this crowd, but dammit it’ll have to do.
