Little Yurt on the Steppe

On the road to Cyberia I took a wrong turn and ended up on the Great Eastern Plains. Fortunately, a group of Khalkha nomads took me in and taught me the secrets of life on the steppe. Now, I sit in my yurt, eating mutton dumplings and drinking a weak milk tea as I recount my tales of this Mongolian life.

What a country, redux

The only thing more brilliant than Chevy blending antiwar and pro-war imagery without any sense of the obvious irony, is their decision to use a similar ad campaign north of the border.

Watch the CBC, and sooner or later you'll encounter Chevy ads with the same Mellancamp ditty about how "This is our country," but with images of Canadian natural beauty, pond hockey, and other quintessential bits of Canadiana.

So, to recap, "This is our country (America, or possibly Canada, or maybe both)!"
