Later I told her about the cabinet meetings we used to have, where Dick Cheney would repeatedly table a motion for a ‘Show of hands for everyone who thinks Powell has a vagina.’

Jenka finally got him

That fat rodent will menace our front flower bed no more. Every day he'd stare at me, mocking me as I pulled into our driveway. Well this day he should have looked both ways before coming out of his hole. It was over in a second. Maybe her recent bath gave Jenka the scent camouflage she needed...

Alberta Easter Seals provides Camp Horizons, a camp for kids with special needs.

Easter Seals Camp Horizon was really fun. Also the kids were very nice to each other. We all had disabilities, and we all respected each other. I made some great friends at camp and I hope I get to see them again next summer. I felt safe and this was the first time for me away from home and my mom after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had three favorite parts, the giant swing, horseback riding, and most of all, the counselors. They were really nice and lots of fun. I’m glad there is a summer camp for kids who have disabilities. We can just go and get away from things and just be kids and teenagers. Thank you Easter Seals. Levi Barron

71 virgins and some Gatorade

Jon director Pierre Rehov who interviewed attempted suicide bombers for his documentary Suicide Killers. I like his Nazi comparison at the end.

The Republican candidate I'm watching

Ron Paul is a Republican Texas congressman, doctor, and 2008 presidential candidate. And quite the libertarian. On issues like the economy, foreign policy, security, and privacy, I like what he says.

He has earned the nickname "Dr. No" for voting against any bill he believes violates the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill. He has never voted to raise taxes or congressional pay. He has always voted against the USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, and the Iraq War.

I'm still searching for more about the environment and foreign trade, but at this time he's the Republican that interests me the most. Here's some highlights from the MSNBC debate:

As a Canadian why do I care? My customer base is almost entirely in the United States, their economy and policy affect us, I have friends there, I travel there, and most importantly, I think the world would be a better, safer place with a US foreign policy of non-intervention. And hey, with all the cash involved, their elections are a lot more entertaining than ours.
