    News update:

    Our Premier Dalton McGuinty doesn't want the guy allowed back into Canada.

    McGuinty calls it a bad precedent and wants Watson, 35, to serve his time in the U.S.

    He says he doesn't want Ontario to become a dumping ground for American sex offenders. New Democrat Michael Prue, a former immigration officer, calls Watson's sentence bizarre, and says it goes contrary to international law.

    In Oklahoma, I believe such things are par for the course.

    I was so set to like you, Kaylee. So set.

    To steal a phrase from some of my favorite people here, you are dead to me now.

    Dead. To. Me.

    I think you earned a permanent reprieve after the "heart-shaped ass" comment.

    I will allow that maybe I've just spent time in the wrong parts of Oklahoma. And most certainly have seen the wrong people.

    But that beer-that's-not-really-beer is pretty tough to ignore.

    Well, that I understand.

    I was waiting for the right time to echo your fabulous sentiment. :)

    And an update on the story: He gets to stay in Canada!

    Niagara Falls, Ont. — An American sex offender was released from custody and ordered to live at his family's home in St. Catharines on Friday, after an immigration official said the man posed little threat to society.

    “I'm satisfied that as a danger, you're at the low end,” said Ken Thomson, the immigration review board member who gave the ruling in Niagara Falls, Ont.

    “When I look at the evidence. . .it's clear that he comes out at the low end of the scale.”

    Malcolm Watson was arrested Wednesday trying to re-enter Canada from Buffalo, N.Y. The federal government wants Mr. Watson kicked out of the country.

    Mr. Watson, dressed in a white dress shirt, looked relaxed and smiled from time to time during the proceedings.

    His wife sat beside him, somewhat less expressive.
