Thread Name: BS: Worst Canadian ever?
Subject: RE: BS: Worst Canadian ever?
Yeah, Dickey, I spotted the good possibilities for humor in it right from the getgo. Heh!

Paul Anka has always struck me as a grandiose, slimy, and singularly crass individual, but I would not accuse him of being untalented. Not in the least. He's quite a skillful songwriter and performer, it's just that his really, really crass values keep seeping into the lyrics and the performance like some vile penetrating oil... ;-) I think he always wanted to be Frank Sinatra. Well, Sinatra always seemed like a creep to me too.

Now as for David Frum...oh, my God! The guy is just pathetic. Let's hope he gets his citizenship changed to American ASAP.

I wish to point out that Dudley Doright was Canadian, and a real hero...if not terribly bright. The nationality of his archnemesis, Snidely Whiplash, and Dudley's frequently endangered darling, the fair Nell, remain uncertain at this time. The Moose and Squirrel were from Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, and were both deeply loyal to the American flag and all it stands for as they resisted insidious Pottsylvanian socialist plots to destroy freedom, liberty, and mom's apple pie. Bullwinkle, in fact, strikes me as the most classically loyal American patriot of all time, even if he was not too good at pulling a rabbit out of a hat.
