Is everyone ready? I've had my shopping done for weeks. All of my coworkers are jealous, which might explain why I got this in my inbox...
~ Help Find A Cure: "Ginger Kids are people just like everyone else, even if they don’t have souls." It's like grade school, all over again.
~ Rosanna von Sacken is dismayed that Rogers has changed the terms of her daughter's cellphone contract. What she should be more concerned about, is why this poses a problem for her little snowflake... "Von Sacken's teenage girls generate thousands of texts every month, to and from their 10 unlimited numbers. Her 16-year-old daughter sent and received close to 6,000 texts in one month — that's 200 per day — to and from those numbers. Von Sacken said the numbers illustrate just how difficult it is for parents to police text messaging by teenagers." Not so difficult if you make them pay for their own usage...or confiscate the damned phone. Jeezus. No discipline.
~ Speaking of which...Rex Murphy takes the on the eco-sonorous horde of despots in Copenhagen. A must read.
~ Nearly half of Canadians think immigrants should assimilate into their adopted country... "the poll found that while Canadians don’t believe there are too many immigrants and 70% have a favourable view of newcomers, many Canadians also believe immigrants should put their customs and traditions behind them."
~ While in some countries, immigrants adopt the local customs just a little too much. (Unbelievably, not an Onion story)
"Nearly half of Canadians think immigrants should assimilate into their adopted country..."
The other half were recent immigrants...

Whoa!!! Multiple comment time. Gotta love that.
1. My youngest granddaughters best friend and family will love the Ginger link.
2. Who needs a kick in the butt first? Mom & Dad or the out of control texter. I vote Mom & Dad.
3. Rex Murphy... How the hell did such an up front straight shooter as Rex ever get tangled up with the CBC and the G & M?
4. The only immigrants I have a problem with are the Muslims. If they believe in the Koran send them home or shoot them or something. Just the fact that they believe in the Koran means that their sole purpose in life is to dominate the world and kill those that oppose them. WE DO NOT NEED THEM OR THEIR OFFSPRING IN OUR COUNTRY!!!

As a ginger kid myself, I can tell you that we have no souls. Make no mistake about that.
It's actually not unpleasant.
