Dark Days
We're into the time of long nights and short days here in the Yukon. From late November until late January, sunlight is at a premium. As I write this at 10:06 a.m., the sky is just beginning to lighten. The sun won't climb over the tops of the mountains for another 15 or 20 minutes. By 3:30 this afternoon, dusk will set in.

Apple's Quirky Ads Evoke Parodies of Themselves 'Someone named John Bender uses the ad format as the foundation for making a leftish critique of current American politics (http://bantha.cjb.net/john/video.php?type=mov). After complaining of sheeplike patriotism, smelly money and a president he calls "a monkey," he said he had switched - to Canada. ("On many occasions, I've heard someone say, `if you don't love the United States of America, then get the hell out.' I did.")'

My goodness. The New York Times linked to this? After the moron incident?! If this keeps up we Canucks are gonna start feeling smug . . . and that would be most un-Canadian..
