An Artful Shakedown

For those of you who aren’t in the know, Ray and I are both avid photographers. Not only that, but we also sell prints of our work. (Hint! Hint!). Alas, neither of us has made enough money from our print sales that we can each afford our own Marla Maples. (Yet.) This simply will not ... Read More

MiscellanyLeave a Comment

I’ve had a few e-mails asking how the health kick is going, so I figured it was probably time for another update. As of this morning, my weight is down to 239.2 lbs, for a total loss of 20.2 lbs in six weeks. Losing four more pounds will put me at my “marriage” weight. If ... Read More

Dithering Diplomacy

OttawaLeave a Comment

Pierre Pettigrew’s brand of “quiet Canadian diplomacy” is proving to be even quieter than Bill Graham’s as he dithers about contemplates how to properly deal with governments who kill our citizens abroad. Zahra Kazemi was in Tehran on a photo shoot, working outside a Tehran prison when she taken into custody. Reports say she was ... Read More

Darwin Award Contenders

OttawaLeave a Comment

While I don’t think getting yourself killed by fleeing the police in a high-speed chase is notable enough to garner a Darwin Award these days, the fact that these two Edmonton youths managed to kill themselves before (one hopes) reproducing their faulty genes should technically qualify them for the award: The Edmonton police force will ...

HumourLeave a Comment

There is much hue and cry over the imbalance between the amount of testosterone and the amount of estrogen in Paul Martin’s latest cabinet. Warren Kinsella hasn’t been this indignant since, um, the last time he was indignant. I even know of one fellow who is so worked up that he went to the effort ... Read More

It’s not what you are…or is it?

Party PoliticsLeave a Comment

I can’t stand legislated equality. To me, it benefits no one and it makes the group fighting for increased recognition sound like a bunch of petty whiners. So when Prime Minister Paul Martin announced his cabinet appointments in Ottawa and the cry went up that there wasn’t enough female representation, I started to cringe. The ... Read More
