. . . of the holidays

Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed 18 new Senators over the Holidays. Most important among them is, of course, vetran journalist and renound sex god, Mike Duffy.
I'm proud for the Duffinator. Although he will no longer be there to rescue me from loneliness, with his unmatched coverage of Candian Politics, my tears will be those of joy.
----------------------
George W. Bush, in what will be one of the most memorable moments of his presidency, dodged not one but two shoes thrown at him by an Iraqi journalist.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of the whole incident. It seems rather mediocre on the scale of "things to hit public figures in the face with". I mean, it's not quite as gruesome as a bullet, but not quite as elegant as a pie.
----------------------
Snowmaggedon - or at least that's what the weather cartel was calling it - ended up being a heavy, but nowhere near biblical, snow storm. I expected the Four Snowmen of the Snow-pocalypse and all that jazz.
I want my money back!
----------------------
A few months back an 89-year-old Ohio woman was arrested for refusing to return a little boy's ball which had fallen in her yard.
Well now she is suing the parents of the boy, claiming that the numerous balls which landed in her yard over the years has caused her "emotional distress".
In return, the boy's mother has called the suit "very silly". Silly? Really? This coming from a person who called the police on an 89-year-old women? If you say so ...

If there's one thing we've all learned in the past 8 years, its that George Bush would have been good at dodgeball.
