Moments when I'm not all that proud to be a Calgarian
George W. Bush will give one of his first post-presidential speeches to a crowd of 1,500 people in Calgary on March 17th.
Invitations to the event say Bush will share his thoughts "on eight momentous years in the Oval Office" along with providing his insights into the challenges facing the international community in 21st century.
Tickets will include dinner, the speech, and knee pads for worshipers...er... attendees.
While this shouldn't be surprising, it nevertheless makes me want to bash my head against a brick wall. Stigma be damned, Calgary will continue to project the view that all of its citizens are Republican neoconservatives. Ugh...

Just sad.

So, what will you be throwing--a sensible brown brogue, or a Nike trainer?
SF - Maybe a penny loafer. A simple shoe, not too flashy, yet, smug enough to send a message from a blogging academic.
I'd also be tempted to hurl a woman's UGG boot in the hope that it would act like a boomerang.
Knee pads for attendees... wasn't that more accurately a description of the crowd in the Leno show last night?
Besides, did I claim Calgary was full of a bunch of granola eating sodomites just because they let some war-mongering criminal mascurading as a former U.S. President speak in their city?
