CNN is completely right here. It is absolutely stunning that Roy Moore remained in the race and got a single vote. The fact he got 48.8% of the vote is just plain terrifying.

1. If you told me my team would come within a seventh game, sudden death overtime of eliminating the defending champs and going to the Stanley Cup final I'd have called you unforgivably optimistic. Well done on your season, Senators. Well done. :-) And good on you Craig Anderson on your upcoming Bill Masterson Trophy win. If you don't win then call ( Read more... )

Regular readers of my blog have no doubt clued in that I really think Donald Trump is the most glorious joke of national leadership since Emperor Tiberious told his nephew Caligula that he was going to rule after him*. That being said, I have to give him credit for the invaluable legwork he is doing, legwork that will make it so much easier for his ( Read more... )

I've said it before that the most dangerous animal outside of honeybees in Canada are moose and this video shows why. Take a look at where the animal's centre of mass is compared to the hood of the car. That could have been up to 1500 lbs EACH coming through his wind shield at speed and its not unknown for all that meat to end up in the BACK seat ( Read more... )

School should be a place of learning, not bloodshed. I'm sorry that wasn't the case today. Stay strong.

Just a reminder that if you assassinate the Premier of Alberta Santa (and the other guys in red, the Mounties) will put you on their Naughty List and you'll get a big lump of coal in your stocking. Not to mention possibly receiving other things in the prison shower ( Read more... )

I just clicked on CNN only to be greeted with the headline that the people of Paris are in the midst of a massive terror attack. As stupidly trite as this will sound as someone who was in Mumbai during the November 2008 attacks I understand some of what the people of France must be feeling during these uncertain hours ( Read more... )
