Sienfeld vs Mickey

It's just occured to me that the cast of Sienfeld is the same as Mickey and his friends. Think about it:

Jerry = Mickey
Elaine = Minnie
George = Donald Duck
Kramer = Goofy

Not only do these characters resemble each other physically, but as personalities too. Their individual traits as well as their interactions are virtually the same.

Are Mickey and Minnie exs that can't move on? Why is the world working against George and Donald Duck? And Kramer and Goofy always slide into the scene with some half-cocked scheme that has fallen apart.

Anyone else notice it?

Candian Politics

Wouldn't it be great if the Canadian political scene was exciting?

Watching Barack Obama's inaugaration made me think that our system can be pretty lame. Who actually know anything about how Prime Ministers are sworn in.

What has Harper been up to lately? He doesn't want you to know. His office tries to kept his every move secret. Not because he's doing bad things, but because he's got nothing great to say.

Do our party leaders inspire us to greatness? Do they have a vision for Canada? Or are they just doing a job. Leaders must lead, excite, and help bring the best out of those they lead.

That's what made people like Kennedy and Trudeau great.

President Obama seems to have reignited this spirit in people. Can it happen again in Canada?

Twitter

I can't figure Twtter out.

Marketing professionals and PR types claim it's a great tool. But if you look through it all you find marketing and PR people telling where they are, what they are eating, or what's on TV.

What's the point? Does that help accomplish anything?
