Paul Martin: care to go on Saturday Night Live?

As I'm watching the Seattle Seahawks playoff game against the Carolina Panthers (at this point in the 2nd Quarter, Seahawks 17, Panthers 6), a brilliant suggestion for Mr. Paul Martin, Jr.:

Why not offer to appear as a guest on Saturday Night Live? Your act last night playing guitar at a campaign event in Winnipeg, Manitoba would be fun to repeat to a North American-wide audience.... especially since you will doubtless need to use the Government of Canada's Relocation Services to move out of 24 Sussex Drive.

I am sure you would have a great time on SNL - look what it did for Al Gore's self-confidence when he appeared on SNL after losing the 2000 Presidential race?

Giving back Congressional pork barrel??

"They can kiss my ear!", responded Representative Don Young (D-Alaska) when presented with pleas by thousands of Alaskans that their state voluntarily relinquish the staggering amount of transportation pork barrel money, to provide desperately-needed money for Gulf-coast Hurricane Katrina relief.

GG Michaëlle Jean's big mouth

Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean's recent disparaging remarks criticizing Parti Québécois leadership candidate André Boisclair demonstrate poor judgment in handling her position. Mme. Jean is supposed to function as Queen Elizabeth II's ceremonial head of state in Canada, and not muck about in partisan politics or personality attacks. Her smart-aleck remarks aoubt M. Boisclair and about the PQ separatists are simply adding fuel to the fires of separatist rage. It is difficult for anglophones to comprehend why many Quebecois francophones publicly support separation - this is an issue I'm eager to begin exploring more thoroughly - but I believe it is a terrible, foolish mistake for Canada's GG (who was handed her well-paid hyper-prestigious job "on a silver spoon" as a patronage gift from an admiring PM Martin) to embarrass the Queen and the people of Canada by shooting her mouth off on subjects she is not qualified to comment on. Here are some MSM links regarding the
