Game face
Mayor Kelly’s latest ‘Christmas gift’ to HRM has stirred up heated debate between two keen political observers—Monica and Mike Bobbsey. The 26-year-old twins have sharply opposing views on the SuperCity’s successful Canadian bid for the 2014 Commonwealth Games. “Imagine blowing a million bucks just to compete for the friggin’ Games,” says Monica, referring to the […]

THE LOWEDOWN
On a recent episode of NBC’s Fear Factor, contestants braved a dark tunnel filled, by turn, with sewage, rats, tarantulas and two walls of fire. Where, I wonder, was the eggnog? The holiday “treat” — eggs whipped with sugar and milk or cream (plus whatever abominable chemicals the commercial brands are laced with — what […]

Big laffs
Dear David Letterman, I find the name Jane Kansas is insulting and offensive. It excludes 49 states. This sucks. She should change her name to Jane State. We have many examples of this in Canada.
