Blonde Moment!
A Blonde gets a job as a teacher. She notices a boy in the field standing alone, while all the other kids are running around having fun. She takes pity on him and decides to speak to him. 'You ok?' she says. 'Yes.' he says. 'You can go and play with the other kids you know.' she says. 'It's best I stay here,' he says.' 'Why?', says the blonde.
The boy says: 'Because, I'm the goalie!!'

May you have the gladness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

POST ELECTION

In a pre-election letter to the editor of the local Morden Times, I had suggested that if Prime Minister Steven Harper did not achieve a majority, he should step down. This issue is even more critical now, with his latest schoolyard bullying tactics. There is plenty of timber within the conservative caucus from which to choose an alternate prime minister. And Mr. Harper could return to the back benches of parliament. For starters, there is Jim Prentice, Chuck Strahl, Diane Alboncz, Lawrence Cannon, Rob Nicholson, and Jay Hill. There is no need for the opposition parties to become involved in governing until their own houses are in order. So it is entirely up to the Conservative caucus and party to restore decorum, not Mr. Harper. What a wonderful Christmas present that would be for all Canadians - peace, harmony, and good government, with a newly minted prime minister, and no election!
