Canada Goes To Hell (satire)
http://sfgate.com/columnists/morford/
By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist

Did you hear the screams? Did you feel the menacing chill? Did you see the black and ominous clouds, moving north?
Did you sense, in other words, the very presence of Satan himself as he laughed maniacally and tossed around bucketfuls of ultrathin condoms and little travel-size packets of Astroglide like confetti while riding his Harley Softail up to Toronto or maybe Edmonton to join the ghastly and sodomitic celebrations?

Because it's happened. Canada's high court just ruled that the government can, if it so desires, redefine marriage to include gay couples, which it has declared it will do almost immediately, thus solidifying Canada's place as the chilly yet mellow and gay friendly and hockey-riffic epicenter of all known hell.

It's true. It's rather amazing. Gay marriage will be completely legal in Canada very soon. It's been oddly ignored in much of the U.S. media and hasn't really been much discussed among those in the terrified red states except when, deep in the night, from their respective lumpy twin beds, they whisper to each other across the room as they pop their Ambien and stroke their portfolios and curse their very genitals: oh my God what's wrong with those freakin' Canadians? ...

1. Look on the bright side
Once the Canadians are inundated with gays:
1-the days of checked flannel will be numbered,
2-Mounties uniforms will be all the rage, creating a virtually crime-free environment and
3-thousands of new recipes for Moose.

2. Personally I like checkered flannel shirts
the mountie thing is funny...but absurd

and the recipes are for Chocolate Mousse?

Just wondering...certainly not for the killed creatures in the wild??

4. I'd forgotten how good Morford is.
His piece on the new SF bridge is great, too.
