You won’t hear about it in the local press since so many of them are giddily (and inappropriately) accepting free tickets to the Olympics.
The mainstream media’s glee can only be rivaled by their laziness. For what can possibly be a bigger story, than the revelations (they just keep coming, my darlings) that Dr. Phil Jones, [...]

I received a very pleasant note from an official with General Electric yesterday afternoon. She was extremely pleasant, very polite and incredibly helpful.
She has provided MOST answers related to issues I raised earlier this week and promised to return today with others. She is in Michigan and the time difference precluded more immediate answers, but [...]

In the fallout from the January 21st dismissal of nationally recognized and highly respected Vancouver Chief Electrical Inspector, Ark Tsisserev, are some very compelling reasons to believe the endless accusations that Vision Vancouver have allowed City Manager Penny Ballem, who they hired just over a year ago without an open process, to politicize the city [...]

I am not terribly fond of Sarah Palin. I have written about this extensively. She is not particularly bright, articulate or engaging as a politician. Being incredibly sexy wears off after awhile. But when she is being blithely attacked, it bothers me to no end because, for the most part, it’s not on the issues, [...]

I went for a long walk with a pal this morning. Not good news on the home front: His wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Second time in as many weeks someone has shared such bad news with me. I suppose we’re all getting older and the chances of such challenges grow with every [...]

CNN has a feature hosted by former Barbra Streisand boyfriend, Wolf Blitzer, called ‘The Situation Room’.
I do not often watch CNN, as I cannot take the adoption of glitz over hard-nosed reporting and real investigative journalism.  They often take shots at Fox News, but even with their sometimes very conservative flavor, Fox has some very [...]

It is not just for his magnificent piece on Pierre Trudeau’s manufactured legacy by a suppliant media, but the National Post’s George Jonas often clarifies the fuzzification of issues like no one else. His take on the current lack of anti-terrorist measures has made me think that my tacit approval of the so-called ‘Nude Scanners’ [...]

I was amazed to watch a segment on CNN earlier tonight (although not terribly surprised since it was, after all, the Clinton News Network), where the talking head was engrossed in a spirited condemnation of racial profiling as it pertained to the aftermath of the recent Christmas Day attempted terrorist attack on Detroit.
What I found [...]

Answer:  Nothing, frankly.  Except that on Friday Keith Baldrey gave us the kind of spin Gordon Campbell would be proud of and on Saturday Elizabeth May further shamed this country and her party by, once more, exhibiting a bad case of ‘Nazi Fixation Syndrome’.
Firstly, let’s have at Keith Baldrey a tad…
On Friday morning, last, I [...]

You are, of course, familiar with the phrase ‘Suicide-by-cop’ where a deranged person, while  wielding a deadly weapon (putting innocents in immediate, usually grave danger), taunts police on the scene, to shoot.  The six o’clock news is filled to the brim with stories like this.
The one they have never covered, though, is the one about [...]
