Wooden Cows In Space!

Vancouver, British Columbia
Lotuslandia


From the Cottinghammerer:

"Oh, for the days when U.S. diplomatic intrigue meant drugs-for-arms-for-hostages. Today, apparently, it’s all logs-for-cows-for-Star Wars.

It’s all linked, says Frank McKenna. Canada rejected participation in missile defence as a cunning strategy to press our case on softwood lumber and mad cow disease.

Color me skeptical......"


Go read it all. It's good (as usual).
