Scraps & Leftovers

The past week saw the installation of both Pope Francis I and Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury. Seth Macfarlane regretted he was unavailable as host for both events, as he had prepared two new versions of "Here's to the Losers."

From the Lack of Imagination Dept.: The government of British Columbia continues to declare "Canada Starts Here." The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation insists "Canada Lives Here." We urge both groups to visit Slogans R Us.

Have you noticed that the actors who portray lottery winners in commercials never look like the people who actually win lotteries? (With the exception of Barry Deley, of course.)

Whatever happened to those newspaper columnists so powerful and vitriolic they could force radio hosts off the air? Where are they when we need them?

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty brought in the new federal budget, and, following tradition, sported a new pair of shoes. This is all very well, but we're hoping for a finance minister who can put on new shoes and tap dance.
