    Narcisse

    This Sunday we're going out to Narcisse to look at the snakes. It's actually like a huge snake orgy out there. They wake up and crawl out of their hole and the first thing they do is mate. After that they wander off to spend the summer doing snake things. 8)

    Branding, Spin and Framing

    Just to start this thread off, read this article. It's American, but the framing it refers to is the thing that right-wing think tanks like the Fraser Institute are doing in conjunction with the Conservatives and the right side of the Liberal Party. The thing is that politics has become a high...

    Fun in the Ditch

    So anybody have any odd but fun recollections? The reason I ask is that a little bit ago I watched a couple of drunk boys drive a truck into the ditch. It's a deep ditch, so it likely qualifies as a crash. It's okay though...I helped them escape. Actually I gave them each a beer to drink in...

    John R. Bolton

    Bush's nominee for Ambassador to the UN is in trouble. Turns out he tried to have a CIA analyst fired for disagreeing with him, requested secret documents in an attempt to spy on his peers in government, and has a history of being abusive to underlings. Bush gave a little speech saying that...

    Guess who'll be running Harper's Election?

    A small-minded little fascist from the USA. He hates natives and believes in the Bible...in classrooms. His name is Tom Flanagan and he is the man behind Stephen Harper

    US Hiding Mad Cow?

    The CBC broke the story today. There have been two possible cases of mad cow in the US. Brain tissue that could have provided definitive results has gone missing in each. Video of one of the cases (shot by the USDA) looks a lot like what we saw coming out of Britain at the height of their...

    They Have a Name....

    They have a name for the people this article worries about. Ilikely shouldn't say it here. Read the story though. Then try to figure out what I mean when I refer to Georgie as a PFGH.

    When's the Election?

    The BQ wants to go the polls. The Conservatives want to go to, but they don't want to seen to be forcing it. The Liberals are making every bill into a close call, but that should stop soon. The NDP don't want an election, but they won't vote for things they don't like just to save the...

    Play It Loud

    What songs do you play loud enough enough to frighten the neighbours? Why? No saying that it's because you like the song either...extreme volume requires an emotional attachment beyond the song itself. I've got Ten Years After I'm Goin' Home turned up loud enough that the speakers keep falling...

    The Pet Thread

    So I just looked out the kitchen window and the neighbour's cat and my cat are sitting on top of the camper. They don't seem to like each other much, but they are way up there, studiously ignoring one another. :D

    My Wife...I think I'll keep her

    Heh...bet nobody here can top this. Mrs. Rev went shopping. She came home with two dozen Two Rivers Red, two pouches of Drum tobacco, and 1 pizza. While she was out she paid the parking ticket I got while I was at the bar on Thursday.
