Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day to our American readers! Today, cities across the US will blow up around $130 million worth of fireworks, celebrating freedom from British rule.

Ironic, considering Britain is now one of America's most important allies and our 6th largest trading partner...

So this 4th, light some roman candles and pinwheels, eat BBQ, and kiss a Brit for luck. Happy 4th!

Do you have holiday plans?

Happy Canada Day

Hey, Happy Canada Day, eh?

Raise a Moosehead with your friends, sit back and enjoy the fireworks!

Sorry Toronto. I wonder how many people will be setting off their own fireworks, since the city union is celebrating Bah Humbug Day?

RIP Farrah Fawcett

On any other day, Farrah's passing would have been more than a just footnote. So much more than someone who "also died" the same day as Michael Jackson.

This morning, Charlie's Angels alum Farrah Fawcett, 62, succumbed to cancer. She will be remembered as much for her work as for the scandals and tabloid fodder her fame produced.

And, of course, the hair. How many countless hours did we all spend before the mirror with a big aerosol bottle of spray trying to achieve her look? No comment.

Rest In Peace, Farrah. You will not be forgotten.

Michael Jackson is Dead

It is being reported that Michael Jackson, 50, passed away today after suffering a cardiac arrest. There is no word yet on what may have caused it.

The "Thriller" entertainer was huge when I was young, and I can hardly think of my elementary and junior high school years without hearing his music like a movie soundtrack in my head. My gym teacher was so obsessed, she had us do a lap of "moonwalk" around the gym during the warm-ups.

Michael - bless your heart - you were as weird as they come. Maybe even a little creepy. But we love you and will miss you sorely.

It's a bad day to be wearing a shark suit

It's a balmy 32 degrees in Toronto today and some poor sap is stuck in a shark suit down by the water front. We shudder to think how hot it must be under all of that.

It figures...
