It's times like these that make me hate certain people.

People up here are PISSED.

And yes, I realize this isn't the mindset of all Americans..... but people up here are really - really pissed.

In other news, Canada has brought home 3 more dead fighting in Afghanistan.

Master Cpl. Scott Francis Vernelli (28), Cpl. Tyler Crooks (24), Trooper Jack Bouthillier (20) and Trooper Corey Joseph Hayes (22) were killed Friday in two roadside bomb blasts in Kandahar province. Eight Canadian soldiers were also wounded. (Department of National Defence)

RIP. And thank you.

That's some funny stuff.Red Eye is an over night, light hearted , off beat program that basically pokes fun at everything. I don't think I've seen them once treat any story seriously. That's kinda the point.

Hey Canada, lighten up, eh?

The U.S. economy WAS on fire under Bush, for 6 years. Until the Democrats took control of Congress. It's been all down hill since then.

Did you see the program? I saw a clip posted on youtube, and it didn't strike me as lighthearted fun. I mean, not the kind where you can shrug it off and go "Oh, they don't really think that".

I don't blame Canadians for being pissed. I wouldn't take it too far, though, obviously.

Oh My God....................... And if we or anyone else said these things about America and YOU'RE soldiers? Keep in mind, these "jokes" were being said when our 3 (now 4) fallen comrades were being brought home. Here, laugh at this.

Oh, I'm sure you'll get a bigger chuckle at this.

This was your war and we were asked to help. Do you REALLY find this funny? You see NO disrespect? Because I've lost all of mine for you.

Thank God we're bringing them home.

They're just jealous that you guys have Captain Kirk.

Me, I happen to be grateful for Jenny, myself.
(aka, Jennifer Granholm, our Governor)

Not so much for her Governorship, although it's been a rough battle with folks who'd wreck this state just because they can't run it...

But rather for her tenure here as Attorney General, cause she seriously kicked the ass of some really primo scumbags.

Of course, Michiganders tend to have warmer, fuzzier feelings for Canada to begin with, since your tolerance in putting up with us drunken assholes every weekend is a matter of legend.

As for the Canadian military, they always struck me as much smarter and more self-disciplined because they do NOT want to fight, will if they have to, and make a pretty good job of it when they do have to.

That makes a hell of a lot more sense to me from a humanist perspective than the wild eyed hateful intolerance of the US Army that's caused so much needless trouble over there.

Don't let typical American arrogance get to ya, cause thankfully, not *everyone* here in a moron, just most of em.

That was your mistake, having any respect for cRapo in the first place. He's chuckling about the death of Canadian Soldiers, but I'll guarantee if Canadians were making fun of dead US soldiers, he'd be braying for blood and possibly talking about "dealing with" Canadian Children before they become a "problem".

AuCoward can't spare any indignation for you, Canada - he's too busy being filled with phony outrage at Obama for his "light-hearted" remarks that poked fun at the Special Olympics.

The "On Fire" Economy -
The Dow closed at 10,587.60 on January 20, 2001, the day GW Bush took office. Eight years later, it closed below 8000 on the day he left office - a net loss of 25%. That's what conservatives call an economic "success".

In light of the situation, that WAS in very poor taste.

Heck, even without the deceased arriving home, that was still . . . . not very funny.

Let's face it. The main guy was extremely annoying, Doug Benson is perpetually high, the Twitter guy was a douche.

Said it before , it is past time for Canada to pull its troops out of this debacle

There is no point in shedding any more blood in this lost war...

The sad thing is the military didn't lose it, it was the damn politicians. Bush and co went on about the US's experience in nation building citing Japan as an example... then they fail to even read the book on what McA did there

Instead they built a failed regime, with a corrupted system and tryed like hell to prop it up.

Thank you all (well almost all) for your thoughtful responses. I admit to being very VERY angry when I wrote that. I'm a little calmer now. It's just hard when your closest ally (whom you helped whenever it was asked) would slap you in the face, and consider it an over-reaction. Colbert and others can do proper satire (which these jerks claimed to be doing) I find it not. Dropping the subject now because we Canadians are a forgiving lot. It's just our nature.
