Realists off of a sinking ship

from http://vancouver.cbc.ca/regionalnews/caches/bc_immigration20041109.html

VANCOUVER - Prior to the U.S. election, polls indicated most Canadians were crossing their fingers for John Kerry to defeat George Bush in the presidential race. But Vancouver immigration lawyer Rudy Kischer wasn't one of them.

"Bush's election is bad for the world in a lot of respects. But in some respects, from a business point of view – I think it will be good for us."

And so far it has been. Kischer says his firm has been approached by dozens of Americans unhappy with Bush's election win.

"At the office we're calling them the Bush Refugees."

There have been so many that inquiries that the Embarkation Law Group is planning how-to-come-to-Canada seminars for people in Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Kischer believes people are genuinely serious about making the move. He says his firm charges for consultations and Americans are paying.

"They've spent money and time here to take a look at the possiblity of immigrating to Vancouver, so I think they're very serious."

Kischer estimates Bush's election victory could result in double the number of American immigrants coming to Canada.

Ok ... Actually CNN announces loser

... and the loser is America!

I'm sorry maybe that's not fair and I know that this time Dubuya evidently won the popular vote (so a majority however slight of Americains did it to themselves), but I'm so disappointed that the world has to endure another 4 years of him.
I tried to do my part ... I voted but it just seems like it was just straight down that conservative line -- Gay Marriage, Iraq, Security, ect...

For me the best tidbit I heard last night was from John Stewart stating that he makes a living making fun of the government, politics and stupid people saying & doing stupid things and all he wanted from us (the American public) was to make his job to be incredible difficult for the next years
...I don't think it will be

Have a look at the exit polls ... it's a little interesting

Japanese find best chat-up line in the world

 

Japanese sociologists and psychiatrists have come up with the best chat-up line in the world.
The line "Rainen no kono hi mo issho ni waratteiy-oh" means literally: "This time next year, let's be laughing together."
The Japanese team - including Takaaki Ishibashi, host of Japan's equivalent to Blind Date - was asked to find the best conversation ice-breaker. The panel said that using "this time next year" sent a signal that the bloke on the pull is interested in more than a one-night fling, "Together" gives the impression of freshness in the romance and "laughing" softens the phrase to make it easy to deliver.

The winning chat-up line is supposed to work anywhere, but particularly well with an office acquaintance.
Officials hope it will help solve a population crisis in Japan, where birth rates have plunged.
