When I woke up on the morning of September 11, 2001 to the radio describing the attack on the Twin Towers, my first vocal response was “Bush is bombing his own country to start a war.” Since then, it has only cost $287 billion and nearly 2500 US Soldiers to kill 40,000 Iraqi civilians (yeah, … [Read more…]
Sirdar Inc. posted a copy of John Cleese’s Letter to the United States. I remember reading it a few years ago. Brilliant. You can read it on Sirdar’s site or here.
I bought a desk and an office chair with my Ralph Bucks. It’s surprising how clean my desk stays having drawers and shelves to put things. I spend about half my work week at the desk too, so Amber thought it wise for me to have a comfortable chair. Hey, I’m going to be thirty … [Read more…]
After posting the blog previous to this, the one about the Conservatives laughable actions, I did some thinking. It’s thinking I’ve had before, on many many many occasions. I usually speak my mind without taking into consideration the feelings of others. I don’t think this is necessarily bad for a couple reasons – one, it … [Read more…]
I burst into laughter when I read the headline this morning “New parliamentary secretary to Francophonie can’t speak French.” Yikes, that’s brave appointing an anglophone Albertan to serve the the Canada’s vast French-speaking population.

Rewind to a year ago… Belinda Stronach jumps to the Liberal party to accept an offer as a cabinet minister – also … [Read more…]

PETITION FOR A CURRENT BLOG BY ALAN KYDD Due to his history of genius musings, we, the friends and complete unknowns to the said Alan Kydd, urge, no, we threaten him to continue … [Read more…]
Check out this article. An atheist in Italy is attempting to go to the highest court in the European Union to prove that the Catholic Church has been fraudulently claiming that Jesus Christ existed and thereby illegally gaining financially as a result. The article almost makes it sound like a school bet though. There are … [Read more…]
Something that I haven’t seen in the headlines yet is the fact that the Governor General names the prime minister once the leader of the party with the most seats puts together a viable coalition in order to govern. Is it possible that the Conservatives would form a coalition with Arch-enemy Liberals? Separatist Bloc? Lefty … [Read more…]
My platform. Government should protect human rights, I like the Canadian Charter. Government should police and be a place of justice. Legislated morality should only serve to protect people from each other and from themselves. Government should protect the land from unwarranted exploitation and monitor its resources. Government should set basic education, health, and economic … [Read more…]
