I Couldn’t Resist
A Friday evening bonus post for you from The New Yorker. You would hope he really didn’t say that, but given his past history I, for one, can the plausibility of it. Hopefully he’ll get better acquainted with the book in the next four years.
Inauguration Day – Not My President?
There will be protests today, as Donald Trump is sworn in as President of the United States. I understand that. It was a polarizing campaign and people still haven’t accepted the results emotionally. Demonstrations though are not the proper response. They won’t make the protesters feel any better, and there is nothing they can do […]
A Trump For The Rest Of US!
Canada at times suffers from an inferiority complex. We look at our brash, bold, successful neighbour to the south, and we want to be just like her. Now we have our chance. Businessman and reality television star Kevin O’Leary announced yesterday he is in the running to become the next leader of the Conservative Party […]
Entering The Twilight Zone
I have seen this a couple of places, but thought I should pass it on in case you missed it. While it looks like a possible spoof, it really is a television listing for this Friday. People in Scotland got to see it first as it ran in this week’s Sunday Herald. I remember the […]
Let Them Eat Cake
The story is told, probably apocryphally, that at the outset of the French Revolution in 1789 the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, was told the peasants were rioting because they had no bread. Her response, immortalized in history, was “let them eat cake.” The result of such an uncaring response was the end of the […]
The China Question
Apparently the Chinese government has its nose out of joint. Donald Trump has spoken to the President of Taiwan. I am sure that many people (probably most Americans) don’t understand why this is such a big deal. Democrats are probably saying that it is another sign Trump is unfit for office, without explaining why. Republicans […]
What is Donald Trump?
I have a friend who regularly posts cartoons from The New Yorker on her Facebook page. I’m very appreciative of that since I would never remember to go looking for them on my own. Yesterday, when I laughed at the Jeopardy influenced cartoon that so obviously referenced the social and political climate in the United […]
The Anniversary
On this date forty years ago the Parti Quebecois were elected as the Government of Quebec. I doubt there will be many celebrations today. The PQ are a sovereigntist political party. Their goal was (and is) to democratically take the province out of the Canadian nation to become and independent state. So far they have […]
Truly Random Thoughts For Your Sunday
Watching the Remembrance Day ceremonies at the National War Memorial on television Friday I was struck once more with the passage of time. When I was younger, the elderly veterans at the cenotaph were my grandfather’s generation, men who had fought in the First World War. Those men are long dead. It has been 71 […]
ITYS – II
For the first part of this post, check Thursday’s offering. I have mentioned Donald Trump (and Hillary Clinton) a few times over the past 16 months of the American Presidential election campaign. I just looked and discovered he was mentioned in about 40 posts since the first one, which is a lot of attention given […]
