Someone needs to explain to Governor Perry the meaning of these Canadian patriotic lines:

At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane,
Our brave fathers, side by side,
For freedom, homes and loved ones dear,
Firmly stood and nobly died;
And those dear rights which they maintained,
We swear to yield them never!
Our watchword evermore shall be
"The Maple Leaf forever!"

I think Perry's preferred anthems are more along the lines of "I wanna get back to Dixie, I wanna be a Dixie Pixie . . ."

I suspect you're right.

Happy New Year, by the way! I hope 2012 sees no more of your health scares.

Happy New Year to you.

And thanks, I hope so too!
