Cousin Corky

News flash - Canada is "retarded":

Last week, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson, a well-known conservative pundit, let loose with a string of anti-Canada rants.
"Anybody with any ambition at all, or intelligence, has left Canada and is now living in New York," he said.
"Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he's nice but you don't take him seriously. That's Canada."

I love this. If ever we question how we are perceived on the world stage - and let's not kid ourselves, the USA owns that shit - this would be about right. It's kind of endearing, no?

All warm fuzzies aside, I'm pretty sure that the US would have no problem beating on the sweet little retarded cousin if said relation was witholding oil rights.

Just sayin'.
