Do you think there were many in the sold out Saturday night crowd at Mcmahon who believed the home squad would lay a licking on the visiting green?

 

  But when all was said and done--and the multiple TD fireworks smoke had cleared---the Stampeders did just that with an incredible 2nd half. 33 points in the half, led by a ball hawking defense and the enigmatic Romby Bryant.  You're never quuite sure if he's going to drop an easy one or score you 2 touchdowns..Romby provided the latter on this night and the Rider costume crowd got quiet in a hurry.

 

  Huge night for the Stamps to show that they can compete and beat the defending Western champs and seperate themselves from the bottom of the west.  And with sunshine, great atmosphere and many good friends to see, it was a great night.

 

But that ...

   The RCMP has cleared Conservative MP Helena Guergis of any wrong doing...So now the question from Canadians is, "What was the Prime Minister's office doing when it kicked her out of their caucus, disgraced her and defamed her."  Acting on bad intell...or is it some kind of revenge?...retribution?

 

Whatever the reason for the out of the blue rashness, it's not helping Stephen Harper's image any.  Painted as a heartless automaton in the East for years, it's beginning to look like regardless of where you come from in Canada, Ottawa-style dirty politics gets ahold of 'em all.  Hope she sues his pants off!

 

But that could just be me

   Two weeks ago, who could imagined today at the Calgary Stampede.  Shaken to the core by a serious of devastating horse deaths and then the midway accident, it was a year no one could have envisioned on a sunny Friday parade morning.

 

  So does it change the fundamental values or direction of the outdoor show going forward?

 

   Each year, the Stampede hears about animal rights...each year getting a little louder.  Vociferous defenders of the "Way the West Was" and the lifestyle that still continues along that line today, the Stampede may have to look ahead to a future that does not include rodeo!

 

   No less than a catastrophic public relations year, 2010 may well go down as the year the ol' boys looked ahead and saw a different future than two weeks ago.

 

But that could just be me
