Last week I got this room patched and painted. I got most of the crap out of here, although I lost knick-knack battle and there are porcelain dust collectors on the built-in shelves instead of books. Today I went all out. I tore down the computer and all the crap attached to it. I untangled...

I saw Harper and his miscreant homophobes on TV today. They seemed hell-bent on proving themselves to be unelectable, even completely unpalatable, once again. At first I thought I must have heard wrong. Vic Toews, a man who has been embarrassing Manitobans for years, was on. He seemed to be...

So my phone rang just now. Disembodied Voice: Mr. Campbell? (it always pays to have your phone in somebody else's name) Me: Nope, he's dead actually...a tragic accident involving a jack-all, six gnomes and a .... D.V. Is Mrs. Campbell there? Me: Actually she just went to the wake. I...

Since the Conservatives have been wasting so much time on bill C-48 and bill C-38, the government has been staying after school. The House has been sitting until midnight in an attempt to pass a budget amendment that most Canadians favour and a human rights law that would allow people to marry...

Something to think about.

Peapod has a thread all about her own little world. Unfortunately she banned beer. As much as I like and respect Pea, there are some things that are sacred, even to me. Beer built the pyramids and Stonehenge. There wouldn't be a detached garage on the entire planet without the special powers...

So I mowed and mowed today. Had to fix the walking tractor three times. The motor almost fell off the first time and after that it kept blowing pulleys. I took a flying belt to thigh once too. A few centimeters over and and a little higher and I'd be singing the castrati parts in the Johnny...

Did you see any of the South by Southwest festival this year, Johnny? Apparently the Canadian bands were the big buzz down there.

The word on the street is that that the Conservatives are trying to hijack the image of Tommy Douglas in an effort to repair their reputation, especially in the field of health care. None other than Stockwell "Doris" Day has been quoting Tommy and making reference to him...trying to paint Tommy...

I thought we should copy the girls. Being men we aren't good at gossiping though. Just post your random thoughts or a B when you have a sip of beer. Maybe later we can go out and see some peelers.

Senior Dies in Alberta after Hunger Strike

First George Bush decided to force his regressive and uninformed views on abortion on countries and NGOs that require aid to fight AIDS. Next he took away the condoms. Now he's cutting off aid to countries that do not outlaw prostitution and NGOs that give aid to prostitutes. Science say he's...

This is really good to see: The Guardian

I mowed the very back of my yard today. That means I got to use my 1956 Allis Chalmers walking tractor. I loaned it to bro-in-law first, so it came back in perfect working order, including all new knife sections on the sickle mower. The important thing about antique equipment is to get...

I've been using this Deep Cold stuff on my knees and ankles for my arthritis. Like most arthritis things its only effect seems to be to keep Mrs. Rev from insisting that I go see the doctor so she can prescribe some pills that I can't take. I don't know what's in this stuff but it smells...

Reporters without Borders

Since some of the Americans on this forum are saying that we are all wrong to criticize their government and their country, maybe they would like to define themselves.

The Politics Watch Vote Selector is really left over from the last election, but since the issues haven't changed it is still valid. Check it out. I got: Jack Layton Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada (score = 100) Gilles Duceppe Leader of the Bloc Quebecois (score = 61) Paul...

It's construction season in Winnipeg. For the second day in a row men with hardhats have blocked my driveway with heavy equipment. They've also got the road blocked off for a half a block in either direction. If something bad happened right now, the ambulance guys would have to walk in. Why...
