Yes, We Canada!

Yay! In his first diplomatic mission of his presidency, Obama has successfully avoided a war with the terrorists of Canada! (They speak French up there, you know.)

The maple log I had was at Coffee Time, which I hear was not a great choice. The only time I got to Tim Horton's was near midnight, so the donuts were a bit stale (happens everywhere). The coffee was good though.

On our trip, we took a tour bus, and were the only ones on it one day. The bus driver was telling us how much they hated Dub-ya - "even more than you American's do" - because the only time he came to Canada, he spent an hour in the Toronto Airport. Granted, living next-door to someone for eight years and ignoring them is pretty shitty, but I think my hatred has a little bit of a stronger foundation :-) But then, I don't care why you hate George W. Bush, so long as you do hate him!

At Fri Feb 20, 01:09:00 PM, Darius Whiteplume said...: I can forgive Rush, but if I hear "Takin' Care of Business" one more time I am going to Staples to strangle the first person I see in a red shirt! :-D

At Fri Feb 20, 06:05:00 PM, The Young Swell said...: Golly, but that was close!

After a forty-year tradition, beginning with JFK, of American presidents making Canada their first foreign visit, Dubya headed off to Mexico for his first visit, and we all know how that turned out.

(In justice to the Chimpster, he may have planned to visit Canada, but headed in the wrong direction. Foreign travel wasn’t really his forte.)

For the sake of us all, President Obama did not dare travel anywhere until he touched down first in Canada.

Now that the Canadian hex has been averted, let the presidential diplomacy travels proceed.

At Mon Feb 23, 09:14:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: Darius Whiteplume: Soy sauce on a maple log? Ick! No wonder they are terrorists!

Kulkuri: I heard they made a special Obama beavertail and put a chocolate "O" on top! Yay!

Darius Whiteplume: According to Wee Mousie, that wasn't the only Bush-Canada snub. Although it is traditional for a newly elected Americna president to visit Canada first, Bush visited Mexico instead! "I don't care why you hate George W. Bush, so long as you do hate him..." I agree!

Bob: Hey, we found a dead mouse in our beer, eh. That means you owe us a free case. Elsinore Beer for me!

Randal Graves: You and your sports. You never tire of watching sweaty men excercising, do you? ;o)

Dean Wormer: **groan** As if Matthew Perry wasn't bad enough!

Darius Whiteplume: Ack! I hate that song!

ThoughtCriminal: Eek! How... FRENCH!

Wee Mousie: I just told Darius Whiteplume your excellent information about Bush visiting Mexico first. Good info! I didn know that. :o)

darkblack: Jamais! Le buisson est caché sans accident au Texas, loin de vous les terroristes français! Avoir encore de la mayonnaise avec votre frit, vous l'écume! :o)

Jang-chub Ozer: Ha! As much as I am pained by the stories of what Bush has lost or can't find, I am far more concerned about the Bush stories that have been forgotten...
