1. Get over it.
Show your fellow world travelers that not all Americans are in Bush's court. I just returned home after two months in South America, and, believe me, it's a relief to them to know that.

Don't hide. Please.

2. Damned right!
And I'll say so with complete confidence, since I'm not travelling this summer.

Oh, you can't buy a Canadian passport. But they have an on-line test to determine your probability of Canuckification. It helps a lot if you have a good knowlege of French. Sadly, in my negligence, I did not bookmark the link and cannot recall it.

M'aidez SVP, DUistes Canadiens.

8. Get the T shirt I'm gonna wear:
"If you can't say anything nice about George W. Bush...
sit next to me."

9. No.
If you're not Canadian, don't pretend. Do all Americans a favor and show the world that many of us are fighting against Bush.

6. I'm planning a trip to Mexico in July or August....
I'll be practicing several ways to apologize in Spanish for the behavior of my faux president.

7. Good luck in passing the entrance exam...
I failed it. So I'm hoping the bush cabal starts persecuting homosexuals so I can flee and seek asylum in Canada. I'm a smart guy usually, easily trainable...

Or maybe New Zealand. I passed their test and might send out the $200 for their informational packet soon.

10. Where do you get the test from?
I am going to take it in case they steal the election again through die-bold.
