Headscratchers

The Kominas are a Muslim punk band.

And the 24/7 Prayer Team are reaching out to debauched clubbers around the world.

Marry An American!

Back in September, Brooke and I spent a week in Washington state and dropped into the Democratic Party headquarters in Walla Walla to express our support. The guys seemed eager to talk and we ended up spending about half an hour with them. We joked that if Bush won again, they should all come to Canada and claim refugee status.

Marry An American has a slightly different plan. They’re signing up single Canadians to marry liberal Americans so that they can escape Bush’s America. If I wasn’t already married, I might be willing to help out! That would certainly be bigamy (get it? bigamy, big of me? it’s funny!).

Carbon Coffees?

Why would somebody make it their life’s passion to try to visit every Starbucks in the world? After all, isn’t it the goal of Starbucks to duplicate the same experience everywhere?
