Don’t be fooled – the only true divide in America isn’t men vs. women, black vs. white, Muslim vs. Christian or any other binary. The only one that matters is rich vs. poor and Hillary is very clearly on the side of the rich while Bernie Sanders is on the side of the poor. It’s […]
(I started writing this Sunday night but didn’t finish until Monday. I’m backdating it to be a Sunday post though as that seems most appropriate given Sunday’s incredibly tragic events.) ~ Swirl ~ Thursday My library staff do a tour of the local Muslim school. We observe prayers. We learn to say “library” in Arabic. […]
So last night, the Associated Press announced that they’d surveyed all Democratic super-delegates and there were enough who indicated previously undeclared support for Hillary Clinton that AP was ready to consider her the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee prior to today’s votes in California, New Jersey and a handful of other states.

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this guy any more, he pops up on the late night news speaking in front of a public library! (Sorry for the crappy photo – taken in a darkened room of a crappy TV.)

Lately, as I’ve been following the Bernie Sanders campaign from afar and knowing how much the campaign is being driven by Reddit users, I’ve been a bit more active than usual adding my theories, observations and/or snark on […]
This site allows you to simulate the current US election, playing as either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. I’ve tried it as Donald Trump a couple times but have lost both times. It reminds me of a very similar game (can’t remember the name) that our Grade Six teacher created by manually typing out line-by-line […]
My parents won a trip to Vegas back in 2009 which happened to coincide with a week Shea and I had booked off but planned to just spend at home as a staycation. But when we heard their news, we decided it was karma and we had to go with them. So, along with our […]
