Things that amuse me, cont.

I like how some Americans are under the (woefully-mistaken) assumption that The New Republic will somehow improve now that it's being bought whole by the Aspers.

The logic seems to be: Aspers = Canadians, therefore less crazy neocon garbage.

Sadly, the truth is Aspers = batshit crazy Canadians, therefore the wingnuttiness is likely to increase, if anything.

It's nice that people have such a nice impression of Canadians in general, but sadly we aren't immune from the crazy. Or, as Witless Chum at LGM put it:

Yeah, it's like how much crazier does David Frum have to get?
