Ex-Nazi Head of Worldwide Pedophile Ring Warns of “Atheist Menace” (cue laughter from irony police)

Atheist menace? Sure thing, Emperor. 👿 UK officials had some good ideas about the Perp’s visit initally but I think persecuting him for crimes against humanity is a better option.  I mean, his “get out of jail free” card is pretty flimsy by any standard. Oh well, we can hope! (most links via Reddit and […]

Which Tribe Do You Lead?

Seth Godin giving a TedTalk on the tribes we lead – the idea that we’re passed the age of marketing and back to an old fashioned idea that our main influence is the people around us (but now, we have technology instead of campfires to tell our stories around.)  Lots of relevant ideas whether you’re […]

Music Monday – “And the tips in a small town/Are so small/You may as well/Just give them back”

This isn’t a Labour Day song per se but those opening lines about struggling to survive on minimum wage and tips captures the struggle of working people as much as any song you’ll hear by Billy Bragg or Pete Seeger. Thanks also to the colleague who posted the following article on Facebook – “Tough Times […]

Minority Opinion

A couple recent posts talking about extended breastfeeding got me thinking about the many minority opinions and beliefs I hold.  Here's what I came up with…1.

Music Monday – "From the corner of my eye/A hint of blue in the black sky/A ray of hope, a beam of light/An end to thirty years of night"

[Oops, forgot I pre-loaded this Music Monday post after coming across the song in a MetaFilter thread last week.  So, combined with the post below, you get a 2-for-1 on the Music Monday posts this week!] Inspired by a wonderfully thorough MetaFilter post, I'll highlight a song some fans call the most beautiful song in […]

Introducing Jaime Garcia

Your regularly scheduled Music Monday post will return at a later date.  But having attended the NDP Leader's Gala tonight (great event – kudos to all the organizers!), I've got politics on the brain so I thought I'd post this video of Jaime Garcia being introduced in the Legislature by MLA Sandra Morin (I guess […]

Leader's Gala, a snub to working people

I hope no one thinks they've stumbled upon NDP Watch with this post but I have to admit that I had to do a double (actually triple) take when I received the latest e-newsletter from the provincial NDP with the headline, “Leader's Gala, a snub to working people, and more policy videos.”  For a moment, […]

Ole ole ole!

Just in time for Regina's mini-World Cup soccer tournament, the WCP Cup, Jaime Garcia has added some information to his web site targeted specifically at Regina's soccer community.  Jaime has a long history of involvement with Regina's soccer community and is still actively involved as a player and a coach.  So in a riding where […]
