Exsqueese Me?


So to prop up the Canadian Liberal government, the Liberals entered into a deal with the New Democratic Party (NDP), the Socialist party in Canada.

The NDP, through their leader Jagmeet Singh, would keep the government alive if the Liberals agreed to certain conditions.


One of them was to give subsidized dental care to low income children under 12.

Now, by low income children under 12 I assume they mean low income families. Because back in the day, all my under 12 buddies and I were low income. Very low income.

But here's the kicker;

Under the NDP plan, anyone under 12 with a family income under $90,000 is eligible for subsidized dental care.


Yikes!  $90,000 is now considered low income?!

Where have I been for the last ten years?

Maybe Mr. Boffo can help.....

"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year"

 Snake hunt!!


As posted about recently, this is the time of year when hundreds of good ol' boys swarm the swamps of southwest Florida looking for them there wascally pythons.


Here local state government representative, Alex Rizo, shows off his snake handling skills.

I thought as a state government representative all you had to know was how to spend other peoples' money. But I guess in south Florida the skill set is a bit broader.

So no sense in rehashing the snake hunt details.  Click What A Great Place To Live! for details of a previous hunt.

I Know How You Feel

From Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey.  

A strip about undersea creatures that are all too human.  The strip's title character, Sherman, is a great white shark.  


But the laziest shark you will likely come across.  



And not the sharpest shark in the drawer either. But lovable just the same....

These Guys Never Give Up

One day red wine is good for you.  The next it's not.

Then it was coffee they were going after.

Now, apparently, it's sitting. 


The new silent killer.

Now I don't know if this is legit or not.

Or just a clever ploy by chiropractors..... 


....and ergonomic chair & desk designers to drum up business.


So no sitting, no smoking, no drinking, no red meat.

What's next?  Heroin?!

Maybe Mr. Boffo can help......
