Vancouver Papers: Michael Smyth's Breakfast Fatty

The Province goes with the first in what will be a long series of Matt Naslund covers. Apparently he's got plenty to prove. Blah, Blah. The other cover, the front page, is about working wives and Mr. Moms. Michael Smyth begins his column with this, "As another day brings another Olympics budget boner..." I'm sorry did he just say...Nevermind, he goes on, "this time it's an internal fight over who will pay for an expanded athletes village -- the 2010 pessimists and critics are more stoked than a snowboarder who just smoked a breakfast fatty." Wow. Smyth's on fire.

The Sun goes pretty big with those meddlesome Alaskans who passed a new tax on cruiseship passengers. I personally can't stand quiet, but this Right to Quiet organization is hilarious. Oh my god, they actually have a story about the guy who wears the KC the PNE mascot bear suit. I could have done without knowing this: ""Guys usually think it's a girl inside the suit because I'm so gentle with the kids," he said. "So then guys run up and try to pinch my butt. But the joke's on them -- if I took my head off, they would probably vomit."

I have to hand it to 24 Hours for putting the crying baby on the cover. The magic that is a crying baby in Canucks jersey coming to an early conclusion that his brush with the Stanley Cup is as close as the team as going to get is priceless.

Vancouver Papers, yesterday Metronews on page 03-Aug.23/06 federal-liberal MP Hedy Fry had stated: "It's time the party moved forward by electing a woman as leader. Women understand that there are other ways to resolve conflicks than violence". Just so happens Hedy herself is running for the federal-liberal leadership. Also she said so often discrimination is wrong. She herself has discriminated against males here. Finally, if not for men their would not even be a Federal-Liberal Party. Hedy previously has done and said many other wacky things.
