this is the 6,000th post on the busblog

for a blog thats been around for about seven and a half years, i guess 6k posts is pretty respectable.

and since the magic ingredient to the success of this thing has been the canadian influx of readers, i give you a video i saw this morning on matt good’s site. apparently when marching soldiers snap their head to the left or the right to acknowledge someone, that person is usually someone of nobility or extreme power in the government, etc. or a pope.

the other day this little belgian boy was saluting people and a canadian company marched by and blessed him with the tribute of Eyes Right.

for six thousand posts i have felt like that little belgian kid. so i thank you for humoring me all these years.

and now your moment of zen

enter michael steele, rush limbaugh, and bill o’reilly to remind us that jon stewart’s job security should have never been in doubt.
