Notes from a hotel room in Gander

- If you have problems with high blood pressure, don't read this article by an American playwright who left England after putting up with years of vicious anti-Americanism and antisemitism. (Some LGF readers think her account is exaggerated - and I should note that while I got a few nasty stares in the UK when people heard my American-sounding accent, no one gave me a hard time.)

- as long as we're talking about the Brits, go see Shawn of the Dead. Tonight.

- The Aussies never let me down. Never. I figured Howard would win, but not in my wildest dreams did I expect an increased majority for his governing coalition.

- I notice that Subway has switched from Pepsi to Coke. I'm not sure about the situation down south, but here in Canada only the KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut triplets still serve Pepsi. Anyone else want to declare the cola wars over?

- speaking of the cola wars, am I the only person who likes "Coca-Cola C2"? It's not as good as the original ("C1"?) but it's much, much better than Diet Coke.

- this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner thinks Whitey created AIDS in a laboratory to kill Africans. I'm starting to understand how Yasser Arafat was able to win the Prize, too.

- as if I didn't already have enough reasons to see Team America: World Police, read this article. If you're pressed for time because you're running out to catch Shawn of the Dead, skip to the last few paragraphs.

- And finally, it's always nice to get messages of encouragement from my fans:

Dear Damian, I am just writing to let you know what a world class asshole you are. I'm embarrassed to be a Newfoundlander if you're one too...I never heard tell of you before tonight. I was looking for information on a particular subject and up pops your garbage site. I couldn't believe the things you were writing on your shitty website. I have just one simple question for you Damian (your name means "son of satan" - by the way...) where the hell do you get off writing such mistruths for your naive readers to soak up??
I would just like to say that if you think the people in power are doing such a piss poor job, why don't you be the great and wonderful man you are and step up to the plate?
HA HA HA HA...joking ofcourse, just from reading your pathetic commentaries I know that you are an absolute imbecile of a human being and completely incompetent when it comes to any job of importance...the only job you're good at is obviously running your stinkin' mouth.
Oh Damian, I really hope you post this comment on your lovely site...maybe it will make your faithful followers turn and run...GET A LIFE YOU FUCKING LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess she won't be buying a BlogAd.
