It's about freakin' time!!!

First off, I'd like to say that it may seem like this may be the start of an "Anti-American" blog. I assure you that is not the case. I am very fond of our friends from the south. I just think it's about time that the politicians started getting asked the hard questions, you know the type that aren't scripted, ones that they don't know are going to be asked. I know the concept of being knowledgable may be new to some of them but I don't think it's too late for them to learn it.

Don't know what I am talking about? Well yesterday Donald Rumsfeld, the American Secretary of Defense, (shouldn't that be administrative assistant now?), was in Kuwait to have a question and answer time with the troops preparing to go to Iraq. Long story short, a journalist who was prevented from asking questions to Rumsfeld earlier that week in Washington, showed up in Iraq and planted questions with-in the troops. These questions were ones to which Rumsfeld was obviously taken surprise by. If you click on the title of this Blog it will take you to the CNN article.

I don't know why, but I find this story enjoyable. Is that wrong? Is it bad that I want to see these politicians sweat? And not only those of the good ol' USA, but those here in Canada too. Incase you weren't aware, also yesterday the legislation to allow gay and lesbian marriages was passed by the Canadian Supreme Court. Now two of the judges that were recently appointed were done so by Mr. Paul Martin (Canadian Prime Minister) and so this ruling is at best questionable. But when was the last time Mr. Martin was faced with pressing questions regarding this issue? I don't know but I wouldn't mind if that journalist came up here and did the same thing he did to Rumsfeld. It's time the people start to get let in on what's going on in our countries rather then just taking what the media and politicians want to tell us.
