There was no Big Ben, but I couldn’t help think of that line from European Vacation every time I walked by the Canadian Parliament building. Sitting in downtown Ottawa, this is a great building and property to wander around. I really dug the feral cat colony back near the river. More pics on my Flickr page.

No matter where you’re at, or how you bat, you gotta love when history goes down like that. Congratulations to President Barack Obama.

Here’s something from a few snaps I took of Citadel cadets registering to vote.

So, my wife has been rocking a “Cheney/Voldemort ’08″ bumber sticker for a while now, and it’s recieved mixed reviews. She thought everyone would get it, but clearly not that many people actually know who Voldemort is. I’m not sure how this is possible.

A lot of people sheepishly ask her who Voldemort is, instead of asking what is really on their mind – “Do you actually support Dick Cheney?” The fact that people would need to ask this kind of scares me. Clearly he isn’t running, and who doesn’t know this?

But the craziest comment came a couple weeks ago. Jen was at a stop sign waiting to exit out of our neighborhood. A huge pickup pulls up to the left, blocking her view. She’s not shy, so she sarcastically says, “Thanks man!” The driver leans over, and yells, “Shutup you stupid republican bitch!” Wow, just wow.
