3. He's appearing at the Liberal Party convention in Canada:

Former U.S. presidential contender Howard Dean will be a keynote speaker at the Liberal party convention next month in Montreal, the Liberals announced Friday.

Dean's grassroots, internet-based fundraising appeal in 2004 changed the way U.S. political parties finance campaigns.

Liberal party national director Steven MacKinnon said the Liberals have a strong affinity with the Democrats, who are savouring a victory this week after the U.S. mid-term elections.

"I think it's excellent timing for us to have Governor Dean address us," MacKinnon said. "Unlike the Conservatives who bring their American allies in under the cover of darkness, we're happy to put our American allies out front and on the stage."

9. I hope it's piffle too.
I want Barack Obama over here. We'll give him citizenship and he can be our PM anytime he feels like it as far as I'm concerned.
