Yeah, I know they have similar matching services on the left as well. It really helps that whole red-state/blue-state dichotomy. What helps even more is shows like this. (On a side note, am I the only one less inclined to use TV.com as a source for info on television shows that I was for (the bought out) TVTome.com?)

So, what is Canada best and worst at in the world, statistically, anyway? Well, we've got the highest broadband access per capita in the world. Not to mention our unbelievable love of fruit juice. Not so many deaths by contact with stinging insects, though. (I think that stat works out to 2 people in the country.)

Hey, so I went to have a look at that article you were talking about Paras, and did you notice the ad for this website?

"Conservative Match: Sweethearts, not bleeding hearts"

Made me laugh. Or at least smile cynically.

NOVAK!!

Blair vs. Bush:

"Blair is working behind friend Bush's back trying to turn him on Kyoto. The prime minister secretly has lobbied U.S. senators, and British officials are collaborating with American environmentalist advocates."

How dare Tony Blair attempt to push forward issues he cares about?! Does he not understand the role of lapdog? Traitorous bastard!

"Europeans' desire to bring U.S. prosperity down to their level is no conspiracy theory of American conservatives. Margot Wallstrom, the Swedish vice president of the European Commission, in 2001 (when she was commissioner for the environment) said the Kyoto Protocol was "not a simple environmental issue . . . this is about international relations, this is about economy -- about trying to create a level playing field.""

A level playing field?! That goes beyond treason. That's ... that's... blasphemy! Hang them all!!

" The reason for all this activity is the EU's plight in regard to Kyoto's emissions reduction targets of five percent below the 1990 level. According to credible private sources, the EU's 15 nations will be 3 percent above 1990 and 10 percent above in carbon dioxide."

See?! Never mind that my statistics don't make sense. That's not important. What's important is conspiracies and high treason!!

" George W. Bush is surrounded by hostile friends. Old bull Republican Sen. Pete Domenici, manager of the energy bill, may support the Bingaman amendment. Within his own administration, the departed mole Rick Piltz has many allies. And in the lakes and glens of Scotland, he will find dear friend Tony Blair winning points with the Labor left and his fellow Europeans."

HANG THEM ALL!!!

I might swing by and meet you guys there too.

Hey Par, I'll meet you at the SUB info desk at 11:45. I'll just hang out until you get there, whenever you can escape the clutches of work.

Can't help you, Tay. I can't seem to find an SQL function that lets me see previous changes to the database. I probably should have written it to back up messages that are editted and deleted. That will probably come in the next update (it shouldn't take long to write, it's just that I haven't done it yet.)

doctor, doctor... gimme the news. I've got a bad case of (de)bugging youse.

maybe someone should call DOCTOR paras to go investigate.

hey! wtf happened to my message down there? I just edited it and now it's blank!!!! ARGHHH!!!
