Patriotism
Babble on.
I cannot believe most of us maple-leaf-tattooed-over-our-hearts Canadian bloggers completely forgot to take note of a seriously patriotic moment just last week:
A stunned Natalie Glebova of Canada was crowned Miss Universe 2005 on Tuesday, beating out four finalists from Latin America in a pageant watched by an estimated one billion people in 170 countries.
Brown-haired and blue-eyed Glebova, a 23-year-old motivational speaker, was born in Russia but emigrated to Toronto as a young girl, 11 years ago.
Of course, I bring this to your attention because I feel strongly that we should celebrate our triumphs on the world stage, not because she's hot.
What's that? Why yes, I am sticking with that story, thank you very much for asking.
Babble off.

Those look suspicously like drool marks on the the picture, B. ;)
Oh I captured that moment! There is an interesting post at badeagle.com concerning here heritage. Being she is Russian, Yeagley is saying that she should not have won as a Canadian! Unbelievable!
Damian we thank you for undertaking your civic duty to celebrate the international successes of Canadians.
One question though. How can she be hot? She hardly has any clothes on.
I find it interesting that she feels she actually has to speak in order to motivate.
