I Love the Smell of Beaver Musk in the Cold, Cold Morning
Responding yesterday to Stephen Colbert in just the way that we’ve been looking for was Ted Townsend, the spokesperson for the City of Richmond. In an open letter to Colbert in response to the one on the right, Townsend said the following:
We have always welcomed our friends from south of the border with open arms (well, except for that period in 1812). In fact, we’ve always fondly considered you as our American “cousins” and politely tolerated you, even when you were in an imperialistic mood…
It takes a lot to upset us…after all, the combination of the languid smell of beaver musk and the freezing temperatures generally make us a docile people…
So as the Canadian Iceholes who also happen to be the proprietors of the Richmond Olympic Oval, we are inviting you to find yourself some sled dogs and venture forth to our great frozen wasteland to be our guest at the 2010 Olympic Games.
Good on Ted for grabbing the media attention that is being served up on a platter. Should Stephen accept the offer he would become an official ombudsman for the games; provided he wears a pink toque his entire time here. That’s perfect! Via Margaret Sheridan’s sports blog at canoe.ca we learn that a CBC sports anchor has challenged Colbert to a race. They’ve got the right idea, but lets get some star power behind this! Time to lace ‘em up Mercer.

BAHAHA That's hilarious. Cameron are you sure your ulterior motive isn't to get Colbert to come to Canada so you can meet him? Hmm…tricky tricky.
well obviously that's a side benefit…but more relevant is his claim that he's got huge balls. Time to prove it
