Arizona Cardinals make it to the superbowl…
In light of it being Sunday, I thought I’d write something a little light-hearted and fun tonight, so I will discuss football. Tonight the Arizona Cardinals made it to the superbowl. They haven’t been in a championship game since 1947. Let me put that into perspective. Since the last time the Arizona Cardinals have been [...]
Teen killed in Halo 3 row
Recently a 17 year old boy shot his parents in revenge after they took away his Halo 3 video game. I grimace in anticipation of all the media outlets once again blaming video games for crime. This has happened every time a video game is connected to any crime in one form or another. I [...]
The News
I sometimes sit down at my desk, ready to find out what’s happening in the world and wonder where I can actually see the news. In today’s world2 of 24 hour coverage, the news has become less of an informative tool (in my opinion) and more of an entertainment industry where stories must sell and [...]
Speed of Technology
Before I begin, I feel it is important to comment on our own recent trend – although Ignorant Mouth seems to suddenly be knocking technology, I assure you that this Luddite-ish event is an unusual coincidence of similar ideas more than anything else. That said, I am today discussing the rate of technological change and [...]
The Facebook Fanatics
Facebook is starting to scare me. I rarely log in anymore, myself, as the constant bombardment of applications and advertisements in the new layout are distasteful in my view. Despite that, I still don’t like Facebook. People – why do you want complete strangers, or even friends of your friends that you don’t know, to [...]
Roland Burris and the Senate issue
The recent controversy over the ‘junior senator from Illinois’ and his appointment to the Senate by the Illinois Governor Blagojevich is an interesting case and reminds me of many similar cases that have occured in more senior legislatures, such as English House of Commons. Although I have very little understanding of the procedures of the [...]
Merry Christmas
Best wishes to you and your family this Christmas holiday. Christmas is always a wonderful time to put aside politics and frustrations and stay away from the rigors of our daily materialistic lives. For that reason, although I thought about writing an article about the ‘happy holidays’ versus ‘Merry Christmas’ issue, I have chosen not [...]
Animal Activists arrested for hate crimes in UK
I’ll be frank upfront: I’m not a fan of militant action in dealing with political gripes. A peaceful protest or march is ok, but I’m very opposed to more aggressive tactics that have been used by various groups and unions such as strikes, distracting emergency services, Liberal-NDP Coalitions. That being said, it is clear how [...]
What Credit Crisis?
Steve Forbes, creator of Forbes magazine, is suggesting that the worst of the credit crisis is over. Forbes spoke recently with BBC correspondent Matt Frei about the credit crisis. In summation, Mr. Forbes suggested that that worst of the credit crisis has passed and governments have reacted in an appropriate way, infusing hurting banks with [...]
Canadians Follow Suit
It seems that the Canadians are following the Americans and are also giving a bail-out package to the auto industry, a key industry in southern Ontario with a four billion dollar (canadian) series of loans. This is very similar to what the United States announced a few days ago. This is interesting because only a [...]
