Of Faux Warriors and Puffy Chests
I was going to discuss some of my pointless desires and foibles, but I thought that this was far worth your time.

Rumsfeld and Fascists (Whodathunk?)
Wherein Donald Rumsfeld calls everyone else fascists.
I think we need a remedial program on who is a fascist and who is a communist. The definitions have been warped to the point of irrelevance by all sides of the political spectrum.

Thank You Mr. Sloth!
From the Space Channel web page comes the GREATEST~! news in years:
SPACE Fall Preview 2006: "THE HILARIOUS HOUSE OF FRIGHTENSTEIN
Monday to Thursday at 11pm ET / 8pm PT, beginning September 5
A Canadian comedy series originally produced by Hamilton’s CHCH in the 1970s, the mock-horror variety show starred Billy Van, Fishka Rais, Joe Torbay, Guy Big and special guest star Vincent Price. This amusing and witty sketch comedy featured memorable characters such as Count Frightenstein, Igor, Grizelda the Ghastly Gourmet, and an African explorer called Bwana Clyde Batty, most of which were played by Billy Van himself."

From the Category, "What were they thinking?"
So, not sure what to call your next kid? Looking for a name to set them apart? Apparently many Albertans have gone outside the box in a big way to come up with unique names. There is "Bodacious", "Hail", "Kreedance", "Lisa" (for a boy) and I kid you not, "SEMEN". Who names their son Semen? Good luck on the school yard with that name.
Apparently naming girls is a little more straightforward once you realize that the generation that learned language skills through "Hooked on Phonics" are now parents. I am not sure how someone came up with a name like "Dawnella" but a lot of the list below looks like hybrids of two names. So if you are not sure if you want to name your daughter Susan or Jezebel, just go with Susabel.
