After The Shots
There’s so much to ay about the attempt to assassinate Donald Trump on Saturday – and I’m not going to say any of it. Except hat I am surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. And I am glad the attempt failed. I dislike a lot about Donald Trump, but if he is what the American people […]
Order From Chaos
What a lovely job title. One I am sure is very appropriate. I saw this sign when I was visiting a church in the Toronto area last week, a larger one with a whole wing for children’s ministries. It was sitting on the reception counter, where I presume parents sign their children in on Sundays […]
A Matter of Pride
They canceled the annual Pride Festival in Fredericton, New Brunswick yesterday. That saddened me. I am not a supporter of the societal manupulatons of the gender alphabet. Leaving aside theological considerations, they don’t make scientific sense. However, the festival was canceled not because because the organizers realized the silliness of their cause, but because they […]
Laying The Cornerstone
On this Flashback Friday we revisit the post from July 12, 2015. I was running errands with my mother. That means I drive her wherever she needs to go, wait until she is finished, then drive her to the next place she wants to go. I don’t mind doing this. She is 86, and while […]
Accountability
One of the reasons politicians have fallen into disfavor in our society is that they take themselves too seriously. After all, they are just normal people with a gift for getting elected. n There are all sorts of accusations raised against them as a class: they are corrupt, in it for themselves, in it for […]
How To Win Fans
Times have changed. No longer can visiting musicians woo Canadians by praising the Prime Minister. That is so 2015. Maybe the Rolling Stones are just out of touch with Canadian society. No shame in that, given that they don’t live here. And I guess the fans don’t care who the band likes. But I’ll bet […]
Smile, It’s Monday
There’s so much truth to this one. I need to stay current for work, but most days I wish I could remain blissfully ignorant. As another work week starts, may our experience with news and current affairs do nothing to make us anxious or raise our blood pressure. At least, we can hope for that.
Signs of Our Times
I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. Apparently there’s a gas station in Seattle, Washington, that like to make drivers laugh. Today some samples.
The Choice
Joe Biden says he will not step down. He is remaining in the race for President of the USA, and will be the Democratic Party nominee. Americans now have two choices: Biden, who is showing his age (81), or Donald Trump, who could have a complete mental breakdown and no-one would notice, given how erratic […]
Flashback Cars
We continue our Friday Flashback series with a post from July 5, 2018. I’m not really a car guy, but I had fun at this one. This post was the fifth in a series on the event. Time to wrap up our car series from this year’s edition of the Mullheim city festival. You can […]
