Sunset - Edmonton 10 Nov 2004

:: Rather than create more entries, I'm going to add to this one, so I can look at this picture for a while. Cindi has links to a number of great sites, some funny, some sad. I saw the Sorry Everybody site on Michael Moore's page the other day. Americans can send photos of themselves to the site. Each picture features the contributor showing a written apology for the rest of the world to see, for the Nov 2 election results. Those of us in the rest of the world can send a photo with a message of support, including my fellow Canadians. Some can get very creative; perhaps they watched the opening credits for Napoleon Dynamite. A soldier who served in Iraq apologized. Texans are sorry. Yoda understands. Babies are upset, as are scientists, cats, dogs.

Nice picture. You seem to have taken some air to get it. Were you on campus?

Thanks for the kind word. I was in the Terrace Office Tower, south side, on Calgary Trail, in a meeting with a financial advisor. This is the view from his office. Very nice.

I think the "sorry" web site is not a very effective form of democratic opposition. It makes no effort to engage on any issues of substance. It's a lot of whining by the Left about their guy losing the election combined with a certain amount of pissing on Republicans and the values that the far Left rejects. It is condescending. Moore is an entertainer and has proven to be a shifty and dishonest commentator.

Beautiful photo. Way to make me homesick....oh well, six more weeks and I'll be there! Save an afternoon for coffee and conversation, okay?

Curious: what does Michael Moore have to do with the Sorry Everybody site?

Perhaps it's not a very effective form of democratic opposition, but what are we supposed to do when the form of democratic opposition that we thought would work didn't?
