6340...Senator Vern White Castigates Justin Trudeau

Twas in my morning Ottawa Sun.  Careerist supreme Senator Vern White was hating on Liberal leader Justin Trudeau for saying that he took a hit off a reefer while an MP.

This kind of self serving bullsh*t kills me.

It is not just Senator White; the Ottawa Sun contacted a bunch of local pols, Mayor Jimmy Watson included, and got a lot of non responses/no comments.

Seriously.  If you attended a post secondary educational institution any time since 1970 and you did not smoke pot at least once you are most probably lying.

That includes you Senator White.

Ferget about kids getting shot on the street cars and over crowded busses and trains.  Not to forget the subway, btw.

The Red Rocket has seen better days.

Now this.

The crisis is [and this is leading the news in the self proclaimed world class city, Toronto] that the new TTC, bus driver clothes, are going to be in the colours of an iconic NHL team.  

The Montreal Canadiens.

Operators of Toronto's TTC have rejected some proposed new uniforms for being too Habs-like. The Toronto workers don't want to be confused as supporting the likes of Alex Galchenyuk and the rest of the Montreal Canadiens.

She was only on it sporadically coz she had a bit of a drinking problem.



That drinking problem killed her.  Her agent told ET that "Unfortunately Lisa Robin Kelly passed away last evening...Lisa had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility early this week where she was battling the addiction problems that have plagued her these past few years. I spoke to her on Monday and she was hopeful and confident, looking forward to putting this part of her life behind her. Last night she lost the battle.

6321...Coming To A Stephen Harper Near You

Voter suppression.

The home of Andy Griffith, North Carolina, is leading the way.

Check this out from ThinkProgress.org:

On Monday, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory (R) signed into law a massive voter suppression bill compiling numerous different provisions used to restrict voting in other states. Among other things, the bill includes a strict voter ID law, which will reduce turnout among minority, low-income and student voters. It will cut a full week of early voting, which is likely to depress turnout amonglow-income and African American voters. And it will prohibit certain kinds of voter registration drives, which tend to register low-income and minority voters.
Students, low-income voters and racial minorities, of course, tend to vote for Democrats. McCrory, and the lawmakers behind this bill, are Republicans.


You think it couldn't happen here?

Think again.

For those of you too hip to follow professional sports RG3 is Robert Griffin III.  The hottest star in the hottest sports league in the world.  The National Football League.

Check this out from cbssports.com:

On the possibility of a gay player coming out: "I think there are [gay players] right now, and if they're looking for a window to just come out, I mean, now is the window. My view on it is, yes, I am a Christian, but to each his own. You do what you want to do. If some Christians want to look at being gay as a sin, then thinking about other women, committing adultery—or any of those other sins that are in the Bible—those are sins, too. And God looks at all of us the same way."


The Washington Redskins quarterback isn't gay but he sure is a Christian.

A 2,000-calorie day of meals would, if you stuck strictly to the good-for-you stuff, cost $36.32, said the study’s lead author, Adam Drewnowski."

The incident occurred on the morning of July 29, when a man, surnamed Li, was about to board China Southern Airlines flight 345 to Beijing, Guangzhou Daily reported. As Li passed through airport security, X-ray screening machines detected a few “odd protrusions” sticking out of a KFC burger that the man had packed in his bag.
Airport staff determined that the protrusions looked suspiciously like turtle limbs, and asked to inspect Li’s luggage.
“There’s no turtle in there, just a hamburger,” Li reportedly insisted. “There’s nothing special to see inside.”
