If I Get Arrested For Posting This, I’m Blaming Tweeter

I totally understand the idea of national security and the desire to protect your country from harm. However, unlike those whose job it is to make sure these things are taken care of down in the States, I also understand the concept of having a clue what I’m doing. Two British tourists were barred from …

Good Citizens? In Our Schools? This Must Be Stopped!

Whenever I hear a story like this one, I can’t help but cringe as I think about how much those in charge of this generation are doing to ensure that they ruin it completely. After learning a family friend’s sister had been diagnosed with cancer, 17-year-old leukemia survivor J.T. Gaskins decided to grow out his …

I Think We Need A Stronger Word Than Agony!

What a pack of posts I’ve managed to put up this morning. Last night, I read something that made me shriek several times, and caused Steve to walk away from watching the Royal Rumble to find out what in hell was wrong with me. Do you want to know what I was reading? Alrighty, here …

Find Candy, The Lost Cockapoo

Update: She’s been found! On Friday, while reading about all the snow and freezing rain and lack of buses and all that stuff, I saw a disturbing tweet about a recently spayed female cockapoo named Candy that ran away, with flexi-leash still attached, in the Woodlawn and Victoria Road area. Now, for those of you …

Hopefully This Song Doesn’t Predict My Future

Well, the day has come. I have found a dentist, and I’m headed there. I kept putting it off, and I finally made myself go. Partly because of our dentists tag, and partly because it’s hard to find a dentist that will take my dental plan, I went strictly on recommendations. I was not going …

From The Makers Of SOPA And A Bunch Of Other Dicks, It’s ACTA!

One thing that’s been lost in all the talk about SOPA and PIPA and their dangers is that they aren’t the only pieces of poorly thought out and unimaginably damaging policy being hashed out by industry and world governments. If you’ve never heard of it, meet ACTA, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. It’s got all the …

The Should There Be Bibles In Schools Debate Solved With Two Minutes Of Thought

So it seems the issue of handing out bibles in public schools has come up again. If you don’t mind I’m just gonna go ahead and settle it right now, because in spite of the years long debate, it really isn’t that hard. Some of you might be surprised to hear me say this, but …

For A Small Donation, You Can Make A Brighter Future For A City Program That Needs A Helping Hand

I’m not really sure I have anything beyond the obvious to say about this, but I feel I need to point it out because…well, just because. The City of Toronto is making an appeal to homeowners to consider making a donation to city programs when they pay their property taxes. When Toronto homeowners receive their …

This Won’t Be Good For The Bottom Line. Guaranteed.

I just heard a stupid commercial on the radio. I know, crazy. This one was plugging the new menu at Kelsey’s, a place I actually like and was just at a few weeks ago. The add is mostly fine. A woman claiming to be a server at your neighbourhood Kelsey’s is raving about how they …
