    Disproportionate Campaign Coverage

    So, the democrats are running their primaries and plastering their candidates all over the news. They're tearing one another down, and pulling out all the nastiness from their closets. I called it cannibalism and wondered if they were going to kill themselves, but tonight I had an epiphany...

    9 year old suspended for bringing tools to school

    This is what infuriates me about the modern 'zero tolerance' policies public schools have taken to adopting. It excuses administrators from having to bear any responsibility for discretion. It treats kids like criminals for ANY behavior that can be linked to something criminal any other child...

    http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=29645 This is a neat little video discussing the disparities involved when couples engage in public displays of affections, versus gay couples doing so. For those of you who can't see the video, it's shot in the US. The gay men holding hands...

    Sentencing in the Courtepatte Trial

    My heart breaks everytime this case comes up in the news. Everytime I hear something that reminds me of this family and their pain. I was thrilled to read that their victim statements were heard, that they had an impact. And I was even more thrilled to hear that for once, it sounds like the...

    The 'Ampersand Bandit'

    I've gotta say, if you're going to go knocking over banks, you really ought to stop and think for five seconds about wearing clothing with distinctive symbols on it. First of all, it make it easy to identify you. Second of all, you're now the geekiest sounding 'bad ass' with an APB out on...

    Do You Complain?

    I bought a chocolate bar today. Dark chocolate and ginger. I was drooling thinking about it. I've had so many delicious ginger chocolate combos from other companies, and this company, Green and Black's, 'looked' like a good one. A nice wrapped, $3 a bar, organic chocolate I thought it would...

    FoodScaping

    A notion struck me out walking, after discussing environmentally kind landscaping practices in the lawn care thread. The idea of foodscaping. Now, if we're devoting such time and energy to beds and bushes and trees, shouldn't we be getting more out of them than mere show? Now don't get me...

    Are the Democrats about done yet?

    If I were living in the states, I may have been planning on voting Democrat. That is, until watching them cannibalize one another in their presidential primaries. What a ridiculous display, and they haven't even made it to the actual elections yet. I don't understand this. How does party...

    Legal Age of Consent Change

    Recalibrate your jail bait detectors folks, the legal age of consent has changed by two years to take Canada out of the Old West, and put us in line with most other Western nations. This move is supposedly to keep adult predators from preying on young teens, but, I can guarantee some...

    yep. Three generations.... mom, daughter, grandson... have all been brought up on charges relating to the discovery of a body in an incinerator on an acreage in Spruce Grove. The absolute most bizarre part of the case is the decision by the daughter to call a service worker out to the...

    Emergency Food Stores

    You probably want to go with a man anyway. More meat (typically). The sauces won't be of the same concern to a man. And if you find yourself a bachelor, foie gras. ;-)
