I can’t imagine any blogger not giving at least some passing thought to how wonderful it would be to attract thousands of followers to their offerings.

The Toaster is Asking For My Password
With all the fuss at the end of Ronald Rump’s reign in ‘Murica, nothing was more exciting than the prospect of having someone in the Whitey House more devoted to comedy than the safety of the country. In fact, it caused me to wonder if the PREZ has to have a password to access ‘the …
A Christmas Carol

There are always a few like me, with a tenuous grasp on the unique aspects of each of Kanadoodle's provinces. Those wondering why my blog has been inactive for a few days need look no further than the fact that I have been visiting Roberta, the province that shares a long border with Blunder Country. …
It’s the Economy, Stupid!
Yes, whenever I consider the economy I feel stupid. There's not a lot of economic theory that makes any sense to me. There are many that argue on the positive side of immigration, for instance, for economic reasons. The rationale seems to be that ever increasing population is good for the economy. They say our …
It’s Kanadoodle Day!
Break out the frozen yogurt and your red-blooded maple leaf! Every year the citizens of Kanadoodle gather quietly in clusters, wearing their distinctive leaves in a typical understated show of public pride.
