RE: Red Eye With Greg Gutfeld Mocks Canadian Military

It is in bad taste, and it is offensive. Believe it or not, we in the lower 48 do get news about Canada's contributions in Afghaniastan, and we wince when the news announces Canadian casualties. No branch of the Canadian military deserves to be mocked.

Except the Canadian Navy.

Anyone Here Play Irish Traditional Music?

Over the past six months, I've devoted a hefty chunk of time to learning the concertina. At first it was just to play in my Irish pub rock band, but as I've grown familiar with the instrument, my interest in traditional Irish folk music has grown as well. I've learned several tunes with more on the ...
