Letterman Makes The Point

By Brian, September 16, 2008 6:25 pm

I realize these clips are old, but I only just stumbled upon them today. I’ve caught a few of the Late Show episodes over the years and love the top ten list, but I’ve not really been a follower of it.

In these clips, David Letterman makes some very good points about the USA’s invasion of Iraq, and boils it down to what it’s all really about. Oil. It’s definately worth watching the whole thing.

Don’t Blame Me… I Voted Green

That’s right, I voted for what I believed in. I gave my buck-seventy-five without hesitation. They only got 5% in my riding, but that’s a start. I voted Green last election, and I’ll vote Green next election.

As it turns out, Conservative candidate John Baird won the Ottawa-Nepean West riding with 40%, followed fairly closely at 35% by Liberal candidate Lee Farnworth.

Oh, and feel free to borrow the image above… Just give me a link back for credit if you do. I think I’ll come up with some other nice badges of similar ilk.

As a final note – it seems I was pretty much right with my predictions, with the exception of the Green Party getting a seat. I must admit I added that as optimism and did not want to jinx things out of paranoia.
