Heh:

I haven’t been able to watch Colbert since he landed in Vancouver, but I gotta wonder whether he’s keeping an eye out for those evil, evil Canadian bears.

And while I’m on the subject of the Olympics, would people please stop whining about how the Canadians are not running a perfect games?  I mean which would you want — a Zamboni Olympic ice resurfacer breaking down or the detention of anyone who dares to show up to a free speech zone?  The difference between Vancouver and Beijing is that the Government of Canada allows its mistakes to be aired in public while the ChiComs do everything they can to hide them.

Call me a spoilsport, but I’d rather watch a faulty torch lighting ceremony than North Korean-style human puppet shows any day of the week.
