This, after the fires that burned most of the city of Rome, and Nero was thought to have started the fires or at least not done enough to put them out. One has to wonder if the Premier is Fiddling while Nova Scotia fails. It was a very thoughtful post by AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283694207541334416.post-78844657128837273842008-01-19T21:10:00.000-06:002008-01-19T21:10:00.000-06:00I am reminded of another 'Leader' who played the f...I am reminded of another 'Leader' who played the fiddle.

She was in control of the Letterman interview from beginning to end and if you haven't seen it yet, Juno is a wonderful movie – a dramatic comedy. Without being preachy - it offered messages to both adults (parents) and teenagers alike. Page’s talent may very well become one of our finest exports. While her effort in Juno was not recognized with a Golden Globe Award, we can look forward to seeing much more of her.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>To see the Letterman interview visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj_mc6Mea5M<BR/><BR/>To see Rodney’s Performance visit www.novascotialife.com<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>I was thrilled however to learn that Julie Christie received a Golden Globe for her work in Sarah Polley’s film Away From Her. If you haven’t already, that movie is a must see. Polley’s talent is second to none in HollywoodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
