So by now you’ve probably heard the uproar over comments made by douchebag Greg Gutfeld of Fox News on his “Red Eye” show demonstrating complete and utter ignorance of Canada’s military efforts in Afghanistan. This came on the eve of 4 of our soldiers killed in Kandahar returning home. For those who missed it;
Yeah.
I realize “Faux News” is a joke at the best of times and are rarely taken seriously, but this was an all-time low even for them. They’ve pissed off a lot of people, including our government. The heat is on, and apologies have been issued. If you want to call it that. I’m more than a little annoyed with Gutfeld’s so-called ‘apology’;
Gutfeld, the host of the controversial segment on Fox’s Red Eye show, said he never intended to make light of Canadian military efforts in Afghanistan.
“However, I realize that my words may have been misunderstood,” Gutfeld said in a statement released by Fox News.
What the hell is that?!?! Um, yes – you did intend to make light of Canadian military efforts in Afghanistan, and no, your words have not been ‘misunderstood’. Your words were loud and clear, so stop trying to minimize it, asshole.
He would have done much better to say “It was uncalled for, I’m an ignorant, blithering idiot, and I apologize to the families of those killed” Anything less than that adds insult to injury.
Mostly I’m just angry for the families of the 4 soldiers who came home yesterday, amidst all this Fox crap. Everyone should be focused solely on laying these boys to rest.

I was fortunate enough to see Mel Brown perform last April at the Centre in the Square here in Kitchener, alongside Buddy Guy. What a treat! Some of the best music I’ve ever heard, and I’m so glad I had the chance to see them together. Mel will be sadly missed by Kitchener’s blues community.
Thoughts and prayers to his family….

I wouldn’t say spring has sprung, but it it’s trying very hard! Picked up some cheerful tulips from the grocery store yesterday.
Tulips make me happy.
We still have patches of snow here and there, but I expect most, if not all of it to be washed away by the end of this weekend. We’re expecting some warm temps and a lot of rain. I’d rather look at brown grass than brown snow any day.
Could this be the end of the ‘worst winter in recent memory’? I’ll keep my fingers crossed. All I know is I’ve never been this excited to turn my clocks forward in my life
Okay let’s be serious here. 6 more weeks of winter, according to ‘Wiarton Willie’, an ill-tempered rodent, who may or may not see a shadow depending on whether February 2 happens to fall on a sunny or cloudy day?
This groundhog is clearly on crack. I mean, look at him
Dude is messed up. He’s grossly overweight, albino (so probably half-blind) and in dire need of a manicure. He even looks like an asshole.
No way am I buying into this hokey crap. Spring WILL arrive this weekend, and the rodent will be assassinated. That’s all I’m going to say.

Come Wednesday, this hot little number is mine, mine, miinnneee!! 
Old Man Winter is here. Today we’re enjoying a balmy -25C, which I think equates to about -13F. Yeah.
Hello to my parents in Ixtapa MEXICO. You picked a great week to be away! I’m waving at you with 1 finger right now
