Obama Day

8:43 am: I'm watching CNN. Obama is walking towards the crowd, head held high, smile broad. The crowd hasn't seen him yet, they're still quiet and anxiously waiting. But here he is, on camera, walking towards the future. Why does this make me cry?

8:49 am: A while ago, someone on CNN interviewed John Cusack. Cusack has been an Obama supporter since he ran for Senate. If Cusack is in, then so am I.

8:58 am: Biden has quite the tan, hey?

9:08 am: "My fellow citizens", not "my fellow Americans."

10:30 am: So what is it about Obama that makes me cry? Why do I, a Canadian, care so much? I think it's because I LIKE him. Okay, I've never met him, but I can relate to him, as most people can. He's been the weird kid, he's been the outsider, and we can all relate to that.

This Hour is 22 Minutes Too Long

Canadian comedy is not funny. Why? Because it's fucking cheesy, that's why. I think perhaps Canadian comedy is only funny to those under the age of 10, and over the age of 55. Take Air Farce for example - does anyone actually laugh at those lame-ass jokes?
And Henrik, being the masochist that he is (it's one of the reasons I love him), has a tendency to linger on TV shows that he can't stand. I think he keeps hoping that, one day, he'll stumble upon some actual comedy.
Does anyone actually like Canadian comedy? If so, why? Please explain it to me...
