Does any know any good Ottawa improv connections? My web searching got me to a workshop that was a bit small, a lot old, and awfully amateur for my tastes.

On a side note, googling "ottawa improv workshop" brings up both Without Annette's blog and Sillytech in the first two pages.

Politics and Mights

Who do you want to win the primaries, and why?

I would vote for Clinton for the Dems; she strikes me as having less potential for greatness, but more potential for competence.

For the Republicans, i guess i would want McCain as pres because he is the least crazy, but i would want Huckabee as the candidate because he would be easiest for the Dems to beat.

These cartoons are a riot.

stretch — 2006-02-09T17:45:52+00:00

Here are the cartoons that people are rioting over around the world. The cartoons were published in September in a Danish newspaper. This created a fairly minor local controversy. When it failed to gain any real traction a local imam took the cartoons to the Arab summit to try to drum up outrage. But, he also brought along a number of other cartoons which had been sent to him by radical anti-immigrant groups including ones showing mohammed as a pig and paedophile. These last cartoons were never published by any paper, but have been widely cited by angry demonstrators.

Surprise, Surprise

City crews dodging work. Shocked, I am just shocked. I thought they just dug holes in the street and left them unfilled for months on end as monuments to the decay and destruction of material society. You know, like the Olympic Stadium.

I don't know if you folks have been following the Canadian election (the flaming ball of excitement that it is), but a duel of petitions has broken out. Explaining the back story would be long and tedious so suffice it to say there are two competing petitions, one that says kids are more important than beer and another that says beer is more important than kids.

This is an excerpt from a New York Times article:

Mr. Gilliard said that Mr. Schwarzenegger had forsaken Republicans, and that he should expect them to respond in kind next year.

"He hasn't given Republicans any reason to vote for him," Mr. Gilliard said. "To a certain degree, it's healthier for the party to be the loyal opposition to the Democrats than to sit on your hands and watch everything you've worked for be sold out."

"Not that we're bitter or anything," he added.

Is it just me, or does it sound exactly like something Andrew would write?
