HEADLINE OF THE WEEK
Sparsely attended peace rally hearkens back to Vietnam era
Posted by Tim Blair at November 18, 2004 11:05 AMObviously the Canadians overwhelmed with immigration policy costs are no longer able to supply FREE zimmer frames to OAPs hence the low turnout.
To deduce that canadians are actually coming to their senses is A BLATENT FALSEHOOD!
Sorry I meant denying the truthes of left wing
thinking.
HELP KNOWLEDGEABLE GURUS: HOW DOES ONE PRODUCE STRIKE THRU TXT?
I have to admit a certain affection for this headline as well:
Hip-hopper punched at awards; puncher stabbed, stabber sought

Posted by: ajf at November 18, 2004 at 11:38 AMI have the "s" tag enabled, davo. Example: <s>something</s> will look like this: something
When even the press calls a peace rally "sparsely attended", you almost have to start feeling bad for the organizers. Peace just doesn't sell like it used to, I guess. I wonder why.
Posted by: PW at November 18, 2004 at 12:27 PMI'm wondering if there's a name for it, this habit some people seem to have of resolving cognitive dissonance by always rationalising away the surprising new fact so that they can hold onto their existing view of how things work in the world and never grow up.
Posted by: Janice at November 18, 2004 at 12:39 PMAndrea, this might be a stupid question, but why didn't the first 'something' have a stroke through it?
Posted by: ilibcc at November 18, 2004 at 02:10 PMThin, clean-shaven, balding and slightly stooped, the 62-year-old McDonald says he's still a socialist but confesses he's now part of the middle class.
What, he works for a living? Must have plenty of leave saved up to take this gig in Edmonton.

if you look at the page source you will see that the < and > aren't real <>'s.
whereas to do one of these you need to put real <>'s in.
or something.
The 60's were 40 years ago. Why are we fated to relive this time and the issues that were important THEN? It's like the movie 'Groundhog Day', only instead of reliving one day, some want to relive a decade.
I can't imagine, in the 1960's, being at all interested in reliving causes that were important in the 1920's.

What about the fashions? Were you baby-boomers all into flapper dresses and those turtleneck cable-knit sweaters with a school letter on the front?
I must know, because I am emotionally distraught after seeing the Urban Outfitters catalogue that came in the mail today.

Posted by: Andrea Harris at November 18, 2004 at 10:34 PMWhen I lived in Edmonton that paper, (The Edmonton Journal), was known as The Edmonton Urinal. I'm not sure why. Maybe because it was black and white and read Red all over?
Where's the rage gone? Well, Joe, it's gotten old and can't remember where it put its glasses.
Posted by: Bruce at November 18, 2004 at 11:06 PM"Many were admitted old hippies"
Admitted? should have been committed...to some padded cell somewhere so they could enjoy their acid flashbacks in peace V. Hippies are a failed experiment. You can't create a culture of laziness then ask why noone does anything. Just ask Michael Moore and his slackers.
Posted by: robw25 at November 18, 2004 at 11:59 PMCJ was aggrieved when people preferred the Monkees and the Supremes to his crap in his precious 1960s. He's still the same sad tosser, unable to come to terms with the real world.
