Barroid Bonds, Chicken Golf, Hog Farm Bye Bye
Okay, let's get this out of the way first. Baseball is the greatest game ever invented. No other game is even close. Barry Bonds is a lying, cheating embarrassment to the game of baseball, and to mankind in general. He does not possess a fraction of the class and grace of Henry Aaron, nor the smallest percentile of the baseball skills of George Herman Ruth, let alone the Babe's ravenous and unmitigated joie de vivre. As for the despicable Bonds, we shall speak of him no more.
The first annual CB Open was held this week at the prestigious Freedom Oaks Golf and Country Club on the fair shores of Lake Erie. Played under a doubles format, the coveted Port Maitland Cup was captured by this blogger and his partner, the golfing comet Liz MacDonald. The tournament, named for a famed banty rooster from nearby Haldimand Trail, is already being touted as the "fifth" major. Finishing second this year - in a gallant effort - was the team of Sue Sabbatini and Sergio Plug. Condolences to them. And um...better luck next year. Nice try. Etc.
It was revealed this week that the hog factory slated for Ramsay Road is no longer in the works. This was a proposal for a factory farm, to house 3000 sows, with a lagoon slated to contain (allegedly) 1.25 million gallons of liquid pig shit. Oh...all of this on a piece of property less than one mile from Lake Erie, and a mile from the Grand River. HogWatch Dunnville fought against this environmental-disaster-in-waiting a few years ago and managed to bring the project to a standstill. The owners have now asked that the building permits be revoked. HogWatch Dunnville was told that this battle was not winnable. Well, they won and they helped to rid the county of an incompetent mayor in the process. Never underestimate the power of a grassroots group...with access to the internet.
All Hat the film is slated for the Toronto Film Fest for September 11. Time and venue to be announced.

Congratulations on the CB Open win. Why anyone would provoke the feared tandum of Smith and MacDonald is beyond me. Like the greats do, they will put you behind them and make sure you will never compete again. Just ask David Duval. Also congrats to Barry for holding a record for another 6 to 7 years.Lets go ARod, Who must have been reading the Babe Ruth story to up his home runs by hanging out in the strip clubs with blondes. Keep it going Arod maybe have a hot dog and a beer before all your upcoming games against the Indians.
