Eaglesmack Maybe it's those stockpiles of WMDs that are giving off radiation and befuddling meters and measuring instruments.... Maybe it's "Mission Accomplished" and all kinds of other assorted verifiable "facts" emitted as hot air from an administration that's been in bed with big business and...

A significant and perhaps the single greatest contribution made to establishing societal dynamics is how we arrive at our perspectives and opinions. We were "informed" that the Saddam Hussein regime was sitting on stockpiles of WMDs.... We've been told that our beliefs require special and...

Recently my fuzzy little friend, (my cat “Pooka”) became ill. For those fortunate enough to find work and well enough to earn an income, a hundred dollar hiccup (what the vet cost..$110.00) wouldn’t be much of a problem… As a benefit recipient of the Ontario Disabilities Support Program (ODSP)...
