A
Gutfeld has some explaining to do
Many Canadians were in an uproar
over remarks made by a late night Fox
News program, called Red Eye, a cou-
ple weeks ago, where host Greg Gutfeld
and a panel of guests mocked the
Canadian Military for looking to
take a break from the Afghan War in
2011.
I won't go into the things he said,
which were in poor taste. What I
would like to focus on is the weak
apology given by the Fox host,
He sent out an .trail apolo-
gizing for his comments, but
backed that up by stating that
people may have misunder-
stood what he was saying.
Theywere to use stereo-
types
just�
types and cliches of what -`Americans
think our military is like. They were:try-
in to be funny and it didn't work:
.g
They thought the subject matter
would be funny to their viewers and
they didn't look at the big picture of how
their comments might impact the fami-
lies of those who have lost loved ones.
. They were inappropriate- period and
the'rem arks .. were said. off the cuff. `rhe.
comments made Americans look bad
and it was a half-hearted apology.
Gutfeld didn't even have the guts to
make an apology on air or even through
a phone conversation.
Cowardice is always done through
written word because then people
don't have to face anyone for their
misconduct.
In his mind he probably thinks
he has the veil of comedy to protect
what he said. Comedy is one
ding, but he was trying to be
hurtful, even though probably
inan ignorant way, since he
knows nothing about Canada.

We . may share a border and

there are some big differences in our
matures. We have respect for all cultures
and we don't take shots at thepeo

Canadian soldiersare in Af
to help protect the world f from
threats and they share_. the same
that Americans do.
Next time someone. like Gutfeld

Mid West Princess Pageant
Dear Editor,
The Ontario Little Miss Mid West

counties of Wellington, Huron, Perth,
Grey and Bruce and we are looking
for a title holder .to
accompany the reigning
Queen throughout her
While we take pan in many functions
the title holder(s) must ,be able to
speak in public.
We do not believe in the word
"beauty" but we do believe in "inner
beauty". With inner beauty
itor one can be who they wish
to be and this component is
o the
year.
We are in search • of
girls between the ages of 8 and 12
who live with the five counties men-
tioned.
The pageant will be held July 18,
2009 at the Walkerton Community
Centre. The contestants must be
attending school or home schooled
and be sponsored by an organization,
business or company. The ' contestant
does not have to be carrying a title to
enter but is permitted to enter if she
already holds a title. The recipient of
the Little Miss Mid West Princess
Pageant will be expected to partici-
pate in functions during her reign with
the approval of her guardian(s).
. Our goal is to give the opportunity
-to help the individual promote their
commitment to education, career and
involvement within the community.
t used hough out many pag-
eants that believe in the
quote. The Ontario Miss Mid West
Pageant has been a strong believer of
this and over the past 15 years has
proven this to be true.
The Little Miss contestants will be
judged on interviews based on her
application, formal wear and on stage
impromptu questions based on her
application.
