For this Canadian hockey fan, a hard hitting, high scoring Canadiens vs Wings showdown in the Stanley Cup playoffs can’t come quickly enough. (Battering NHL body checks are more exciting than battered NASCAR body panels any day).
Yes, the Wings (with 21 more points than my Canadiens), look like they could smoke Montreal right now, but I have a strong imagination.
Farther south, another sort of playoff is taking shape, and could spill more blood than the NHL final.
David Frum is throwing high hard ones at the ample, aggressive and bombastic form of the Republican Goliath, Rush Limbaugh.
Frum recently said, “With his private plane and his cigars, his history of drug dependency and his personal bulk, not to mention his tangled marital history, Rush is a walking stereotype of self-indulgence -- exactly the image that Barack Obama most wants to affix to our philosophy and our party. And we're co-operating!"
I’m backing the Canadian in this potential brouhaha too.
Finally, this from The Globe and Mail:
A new poll conducted for the Dominion Institute by Ipsos Reid shows Canadians are split on whether the need to stimulate the economy trumps environmental concerns.
Hmmm. How would I vote? Should I back another underdog?
Let’s use our imagination, shall we?

Any other David and Goliath scenarios catch your fancy?
