Who can forget Silken’s incredible comeback in the heart testing and muscle tearing sport of rowing?

Canadian snowboarder and Olympic medal winner Ross Rebagliati plans to beat a new opponent: Stockwell Day. Rebagliati will seek the Liberal nomination on Monday in the Okanagan-Coquihalla riding in central B.C. And why not? He's at least as sexxxy as Gerard Kennedy . And Canadians are a forgiving people.
