I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

When I do promotional events for my book, John Candy: A Life In Comedy, people often ask me to identify, out of the hundreds of interviews I did for the book, who were the most significant. Without hesitation, I tell them, Catherine O’Hara.

People love reminding me that I'm not allowed to post about American politics cause I'm not American.

Even ignoring the problems with that concept in general, my wife is American, their family all lives in America and one of my brothers lives in America. I'm allowed to care about their hell hole.

Seemed?! Dude was in REM sleep while the Cabinet talked about national security. Drowsy Don didn’t just nod off he was one Werther’s Original away from full grandpa-at-Thanksgiving energy.

And, they should have paid more attention to Canadian politics when Harper was Prime Minister. He throttled scientific research and publications.

So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Where we live in Europe, aka our adopted Homeland, even the fathers get paternity leave whether they're married to mother or not.
