Partition Free

Better hide the children. The zamboni is rambling yet again! The latest targets: Whales, Charlie Sheen, a young goalie on the Washington Capitals and the retirement of a gold medalist. Best of all, there's nothing about head shots. - ER

Re. Mr. Young

Explain something to me... If he's 65-years-old, why do people still call him Neil Young? No, I'm not a whackjob. - ER

Re. The Budget and Upcoming Election

Great...another Federal Election.


This election, whenever it's called, will have the worst turnout. Book it.


Canadians are apathetic about federal politics. We don't care, even if the government breaks the rules of Parliament. We don't care because we've come to expect this type of behaviour from our politicians.


What a sad state of affairs.


We have a great political system. But it sure ain't perfect.

Re. Paul Jones

The Raptors have won two games in a row. That hasn't been done since early in the season.

They played three good quarters against OKC and then nearly blew it in the 4th. But a win is a win.

Tell me...

Is there anything better than a super excited Paul Jones?

A quick comment about Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen should run for President in 2012.

Give me one good reason why that's a bad idea.

Re. Robocop

Some people in Detroit wanted to build a statue of Robocop. The Mayor of Detroit said no. So, the actor who played Robocop decided to get involved.

Quick Note About Bautista's Contract

$64 Million over five years.

That's a lot of dough.

A huge monkey has jumped on Jose Bautista's back. In about seven months (or less), we'll find out if Bautista can handle the pressure of being the franchise player.

Re. Carey Price and Tim Thomas

Two weeks ago, Tim Thomas and Carey Price were under the influence of sheer idiocy.

Their little fight made me angry and inspired this new article.

Fighting in hockey will horrifically turn tragic one day.
