Rosie's top six this morning

1. Now that someone who's not a corporatist is lading the United States, the Globe and Mail's worst columnist now thinks the free trade agreement and ceding Canadian economic sovereignty to the United States isn't that good an idea. Your Council of Canadians membership is in the mail, Mr. Ibbitson (Globe and Mail)

2. The most credible American speaker on the issue of torture is a former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar. (Crooks and Liars, Huffington Post)

3. CKCK Regina is to have an open house this afternoon on its 'Save Local Television" campaign to have its owners, Toronto-based Globemedia, soak cable customers for an extra $15 a month for another revenue stream. Meanwhile, that 'local' television station is buying more shows ... in Los Angeles ... the same shows that will be seen on CBS, NBC, and ABC (Globe and Mail). Remember the success of Corner Gas? Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?

4. Remember how the last time Chalk River crapped out it was all the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's fault? Well, the same thing happened again. Whose fault is it now? (CBC via Scott's Diatribes)

5. Why the Saskatchewan NDP needs a brain transplant ... 1,100 forged signatures? Oh that's not fraud ... (CJME)

6. The single most disturbing thing you will ever see today ... Craig Ferguson does Britney Spears. (HuffPo)
