Vancouver Papers: Border Guards, Run Away!

The Sun leads with the walk out of border guards at four border stops after a warning that an armed man wanted for murder might be heading to the border. This fills our security with total confidence as our border patrol basically abandon's ship at the sight of one armed man. They couldn't call for back from the RCMP? The army? We are all doomed. Meanwhile the Sports section asks, Anson who? "Daniel Sedin scored twice on the power play, both on set-ups from brother Henrik, and the twins looked comfortable skating on a line with captain Markus Naslund as the Canucks broke their pre-season goose-egg with a 4-3 shootout win over the Anaheim Ducks at General Motors Place."

The Province also leads with the Border Guard walk off and a massive "Border crossings jammed as guards flee their posts." The border guards at YVR last night sure weren't scared to open both of my bags and dump all my staff all over the place before saying have a great night. Meanwhile Michael Simpson defended his title at the 16th-annual Grouse Grind run yesterday with an obnoxious time of 27 minutes and one second.

Ahhhhhh, 24 Hours, nothing says cute like small children on Navy ships, even if they are from the Canadian Navy. That's the main cover shot. Meanwhile, the news headline is a short headline and story about the ninth annual B.C. Police and Peace Officers' Memorial Service. Last but not least, director Uwe Boll's publicity stunt where he faces off against critics in the ring, went down Saturday, and he seemingly kicked all the interweb nerds asses.

Congratulations!

In case you didn't notice in the lastest Georgia Straight:

"Best way to stay humble

We don’t know who Jackson Murphy is and we don’t want to know. It would just spoil the magic anyway. But he sure does run an entertaining blog. Thevancouverite.com has been holding our heels to his wrathful fire for months now via a little feature he likes to call the Georgia Straight Watch. Regular complaints about our oh-so-serious news coverage, endless praise of Jurgen Gothe, and a fascination with the Single of the Week—it’s a must-read. And, yes, Mr. Murphy, we do think of you every week as we troll through aspiring Singles of the Week, taking your well-documented preferences into account, then doing the opposite. No, thank you."

Keep up the good ass-kickin!
