+5 The Canadian Medical Association claims that a Public/Private system that allows doctors and physicians to work in both systems simultaneously could save our Health Care. But they fail to mention the lives it could save as well… The lives of the rich.

+10 America to Iraqi soccer team after their victory at the Asian Cup: Throughout this demanding competition, you represented Iraq with distinction and honor, inspiring all Iraqis by your unity, teamwork, dedication and athletic ability. We salute you and congratulate you on this tremendous achievement. Iraqi soccer captain to the world after winning the Asian Cup: I have only one thing to say: I want America out of Iraq now.

- 1 The National Post discusses libel suits against sock puppets – those who anonymously slander corporate players on the internet. Responding to such slander as “iPods str8 pwnd the Zune. Bill Gatz is a fucking r-tard” with a lawsuit is just silly. How much money do you really think that “bigpokerking69” has anyways?

+2 Do you think the Surrey man accused of stabbing his twin brother felt it a little more than other murderers? Like, he could just “sense” his brother’s pain as he was stabbing him to death? Probably.

- 2 Sir Richard Branson admits to ‘smoking drugs’ with his son. But by ‘drugs’ he was merely referring to marijuana, which is basically like saying “me and my son skinned a hooker alive once” when all you did was tag-team some flight attendant after you convinced her she could “be something, baby.”

- 4 Canadian magazine The Beaver, “devoted to popularizing Canadian history,” publishes the results of an online poll as their cover story “Who is the worst Canadian?” Pierre Trudeau, of course, beating out numerous serial killers and Don Cherry. Publishing such a poll in a history magazine officially makes The Beaver about as trustworthy as Wikipedia.

- 2 The U.S. calls on Japan to officially apologize for forcing thousands of Japanese women into prostitution during WWII. Which is kind of like a guy who eats babies forcing an apology out of a guy who told him Hermione and Ron get married. (Sorry.)

- 3 Jimmy Fallon is rumored to take over for Conan when Conan takes over for Leno in 2009. Unfortunately Jimmy Fallon is to comedy what Sam Sullivan is to politics: A Bitch.
