Only In America
Just in case you are biblically illiterate (as much of the American church seems to be these days), Jesus wasn’t white, wasn’t a racist, didn’t carry a weapon and didn’t endorse political parties as the drawing on the left depicts. He did feed the hungry, as depicted on the drawing on the right. He had […]
They Are Back!
More or less anyway. On Friday the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced that they were ending their two-week long nationwide walkout in favor of rotating strikes. I guess they realized most Canadians hadn’t noticed they weren’t getting any mail the past couple of weeks. You would almost think they didn’t want their jobs. […]
Depressing Myself
I keep writing posts and not sharing them. Posts about international relations. Posts about domestic politics. Post about social issues. All with a somewhat negative slant as to the direction of our society, our nation, our culture. I have written a few travel posts that also haven’t seen the light of day. They just seem […]
Choose Your Enemy
Politicians the world over know that when you are down in the polls you need a distraction. Wars can be useful for that, but you have to rule a country to make that happen. Which has left the Premier of Quebec scrambling the find an alternative. He could pick a fight with Canada’s federal government, […]
Humor With A Caveat
I’m not convinced this one is true – but it is funny. Given the misinformation rampant online these days, I was hesitant to add to it – but this flyer speaks to those of my generation. Supposedly this was issued by the Monroe County, New York, police to cut down on unnecessary calls to their […]
A Metaphor for Life?
I didn’t get lost. I just didn’t know the way out. Maybe taller people are better able to navigate a corn maze because they can see over the rows. Mind you, they would have to be really tall. I don’t remember when I last was in a maze. They are a way of experiencing fear […]
Book Bans
As the new school year approaches, book banning is in the news again. The impression I have is that it is a fairly common occurrence in the United States, but less so in Canada. The latest list of 200 books being removed from Edmonton Public School libraries has me wondering who is the bad guy. […]
I Couldn’t Help It
I laughed when I saw this one. I don’t really care about who Taylor Swift marries – her music does nothing for me. Nor do I care about the NFL. I will never be a “Swiftie.” I figure though that there is so much publicity I don’t need to explain what I am talking about. […]
Maybe Not Everything
That’s 42 kph for the roadrunner, about 70 kph for the coyote. I think as children we all knew that the Roadrunner cartoon was fiction. After all, coyotes don’t have bombs or anvils, both of which I remember playing a big part in the weekly narrative. Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny were lies, but […]
Was Once Enough?
I didn’t get a good picture – maybe that was my subconscious speaking. The first bite was great, but by the end of the slice I wasn’t interested in more. Yes, those are French fries. With melted cheese curds. And gravy replacing tomato sauce. A poutine pizza. I had this creation while on vacation in […]
