5812...Justin Bieber Disrupts Norway

Got home from work, just chillaxing and reading the Oslo Dagbladet, I have home delivery, and I find a story about a fellow Ontarioioioian.  None other than Justin Bieber.

Turns out the Biebs is quite the star in Norway.  

Such a big deal that some "Norwegian schools have moved exams that clashed with Justin Bieber’s concerts in the country, fearing some fans would rather cut class than miss out on an evening with the Canadian heart throb.  “We find it regrettable, but we preferred to move forward the Norwegian exams to avoid problems,” Roar Aasen, the headmaster of an upper secondary school in Aalesund on Norway’s west coast [said]...In total, five schools in the town — more than a seven hours’ drive from Oslo — decided not to hold exams on April 16 and 17 since they coincided with two of Bieber’s three gigs in the Norwegian capital."

Scoff you may but when you think about it they, the administrators, were progressive in their actions.  If you ask a 17 year old in Aalesund which is more important, seeing how Selena Gomez' ex is fairing or writing an Algebra exam, you know what the answer will be.

5810...Conservatives Think It Is Easy To Be Poor

Not just in Canada either.

In Merry Ole the Tories have decided that, like here, the reason the country is broke is coz the poor people have all the money.




Seven pounds is like about ten bucks.  Try to live on ten bucks a day.  I dare you.

5808...Rick Santorum On Gay Marriage Root

Will and Grace.

The NBC sit com from the '90s [I think; never watched it and too lazy to look up on Google] is, according to former GOP candidate for POTUS, responsible for the current interest in gay marriage in the USA.  Rick Santorum has been reported widely, with supporting video, to have made remarks supporting that insane argument in DC at CPAC 2013 in the middle of last month.

5807...More Bad News For Tim Hudak

His Buffalo Bills have just signed Kevin Kolb, who sucks, to a two year deal to QB Tim Hudak's team.  Heck I am sure we both got the story from the same place, WGR 550 Sports Radio.

First Premier Wynne goes way up in the polls and now this.

Another year out of the playoffs for both the PCs and the Bills.  It's not your time, Mr. Hudak, not your time.
