Parksville Pursues Puck Prognosticator's Pushy Patriotism and Punts Parade Prudence

This page has determined that a restraining order needs to be issued to cable and satellite TV companies to prevent them from broadcasting Hockey Night in Canada to Parksville, BC. Just a couple of weeks after Don Cherry (who one of this page's friends in Philadelphia refers to as the love child of Harry Carey and Rush Limbaugh) was flogging his 'support the troops' merchandise on Coach's Corner, the Parksville Chamber of Commerce thought this would be an ideal fundraiser for the town's Canada Day Parade.

People who listen to Cherry's off-topic ravings develop an immunity to common sense, tolerance, and understanding the English language. If this page was a merchant in Parksville, I'd be withholding my Chamber of Commerce dues from people stupid enough to ignore what "Support our Troops" means in the polarized, Harper-Bush might makes right world of 2006. Canada's military aren't the friendly peacekeepers in blue berets anymore, they're pawn-shaped fodder for the pipeline ambitions of the Mujahadeen...er...Afghan provisional government and the Bush Administration.

This one's about oil too, stupid. And heroin. Wearing a 'Supprt our Troops' T-shirt to a Canada Day parade makes as much sense as Grand Marshall Anne Coulter waving from a NASCAR car.
