IMA LET YA FINISH..CLARA HUGHES..GREATIST OLYMPIAN OF ALL TIME!!

I am becoming more patient when forced to go on shopping trips...I look forward to Wal-Mart now.....my wife shops while I wait.....I can take a nap on Ronald MacDonald's shoulder.....just wish all those little brats would leave us alone.

The Who frontman Roger Daltrey is desperate to collaborate with Jimmy Page....."He needs a singer to drive him. I'm a great blues singer. I don't sing the blues with The Who, but that's what I used to be before Townsend started writing. I used to be a great blues singer.".....and then he mumbled  "not only that...Townsends a wanker"

Snoop Dogg is in trouble with U.S. tax officials again after allegedly failing to hand over half a million dollars in back payments......The Dog said "Yo, taxman.....I gots my hook-up nephew movin the herb dogs so ya'll just chizzle til the Dog make it right, unnerstan?"

India and Pakistan held wide-ranging discussions Thursday about terrorism, Kashmir and other disputes in the first talks between the rival nations since the 2008 Mumbai attacks....but just before lunch, talks broke down....they couldn't agree whether to have "Butter Chicken" or "Mutton Kozhambu"

Akio Toyoda, the automaker's 53-year-old chief executive and grandson of the founder, says the company grew too fast to keep up with safety controls.....there was an awkward moment during the hearing given the language barrier.....one of the government interns brought in two live chickens instead of the water Toyoda had requested.

A new EKOS poll suggests the Conservatives have opened up a small three-point lead after weeks of being in a virtual tie with the Liberals.......of course they're talking about the "prorogue" ping-pong tournament at Parliament Hill because they sure as Hell aren't doing anything else.

"Canada's Conservative government would be irresponsible to spend billions of dollars to reduce greenhouse gas emissions given the contradictory science available"..... that according to Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier.....that noise you hear in the background?...that's the other Conservative members moving they're chairs away from him.

If you want a Hummer you better get it soon......get your mind out of the gutter.....the deal to sell the division of GM has fallen through......dirty minds!!

Canada's big banks are likely to report lower first-quarter earnings over the next two weeks as their lucrative trading income plunges, analysts say.......bank earnings season kicked off today, with reports from CIBC and National Bank.....they went on to say the other banks haven't finished cooking the books yet.

Go Travel South based in Halifax announced on its website yesterday that it was shutting down due to "economic circumstances."...."Please do not show up at the airport for your flights as they will not be departing," the message read.....a telephone response by the owner couldn't be heard clearly because of a Mariachi band playing in the background.

I want to talk about Canada's greatest athlete of all time....( God, I sound like Kanye West)...not Gretzky, or Howe or Steve Nash or Mike Weir. Clara Hughes,....one of only five people who have won medals in both the Summer and Winter Games, and is the only person ever to have won multiple medals in both. Her total now of 6 medals ties Cindy Klassen as most ever by a Canadian.... She is an 18-time Canadian national cycling champion. In 2006, after she won gold in the 5000m skate, she donated $10,000 dollars, of her own money, to Right to Play, an organization that improves the plight of children in impoverished, war-torn areas. Canada didn't hand out medal money then. Probably the thing about her that I will remember the most was the medal ceremony at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin. When they started playing Oh Canada, Clara grabbed Cindy Klassen, who had won silver, hauled her up to the top level and "forced" her to sing along. I'm sure it's on Youtube, if you ever need some national pride, check it out. She is fantastic!

Dats it dats all for today folks....Can vs U.S. womens hockey tonight....(hope there's a fight...you know...pull the jerseys off :) @ben_burnett for twitter, e-mail ben.burnett33@yahoo.ca and I'm on Facebook....so face me if you dare!
