Prostrate this morning with stomach flu. Up around noon, moving slowly, I was able to hold down food, so I did some work and read the paper.
We started a trial subscription to the Globe and Mail a few weeks ago (right before Karen got sick), and we've been trying to cancel it ever since.
It's not just that it's a bad paper (though it is). It's not just that it's a bad paper with no coverage of Alberta (though it is). It's headlines like these:
Fed says rate cut should work
Desire for power lures CEOs to troubled firms
Canada won't be cowed by threats, Manley says
Really, what do you expect [deputy Prime Minster of Canada John] Manley to say? "Canada will be cowed by threats, Manley says." "Canada backs out of Iraq war due to Al-Qaida threats, Manley says" "Canada waiting for Osama bin Laden to shout 'Ollie ollie oxen free' before coming out of hiding".
Sheesh.
UPDATE:
