I know it has been making the email rounds lately, but in light of recent discussions on this board, I thought I would post a link to an old radio script, penned by the late Gordon Sinclair in 1973. There is a page explaining the background of Sinclair's broadcast with a link to the script itself, along with an audio file.
Canadians have been known to make a bit of fun at the expense of Americans, but I think this shows that when the s**t hits the fan, our friendship is there, and it's solid. This broadcast is as appropriate now as it was almost 30 years ago.
