Just saw Arnie (gov of California) killing with extreme discretion during a movie marathon. Anyone hear a bout the DUI charge that the premier of BC received?

Kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight

I was never a fan of Bruce Cockburn, but I've always liked this line. "kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight" Cockburn was always political and I appreciate that. I'm an old punk. I do political. I don't do folk. Cockburn's politics were undeniably left leaning. I'm a centrist but I often find myself leaning - slightly - left in the current Canadian political environment but there is this thing, by which I cannot abide, be it on the left or the right. i.e. anti-scientific neo-luddism. Case in point: Greenpeace and their remarkably adamant, yet ill-informed opposition to GMO technology, specifically Golden Rice. Greenpeace makes the standard, boilerplate arguments against the technology: "un tested", "big corporations", " better solutions " ad nausium. The "better solutions" argument is the most insidious. What better solutions? Show us where Greenpeace has solved, or started to solve, th

Grey Power Auto Insurance - BS marketing

I drive. I drive a lot. I have driven a lot as my career has found me on the road for many years. Right from the first time I saw one of these Grey Power ads, promoting better insurance for old people, they have annoyed the hell out of me. I see old drivers, I bob and weave to avoid old drivers. I've cringed and held my breath as an old fart in a Buick narrowly misses a pedestrian with the right-of-way. A remarkable feat! A few weeks ago, I was behind a little old darlin' in a Camry (decided to trade in the Buick Century, I guess) at a light. We were both waiting to turn left (T intersection, no on-coming traffic). The light turned green, she and I began to move into the intersection to make our turns. She suddenly stopped during this tricky maneuver - I dunno, maybe she thought she saw the Kaiser. So I stopped, to avoid the collision. She proceed to finish her turn, into the outside lane. Not the inside or immediate lane, as is appropriate and legal. I turned into t

Donald Trump's Inevitability

How will The Donald's presidency end? A successful 4 years? A successful 8? Few people, with any kind of functional intellect, believe he'll complete his first term, or even his first year. Some suggest the possibility of assassination. Of course it's possible, but in today's security environment, it's remarkably unlikely. But who would be the would-be assassin? Naturally, Trump's supporters might think it would be radical islamists. That's a daft suggestion. Trump is the best recruitment tool radical islamists have ever had. Maybe it will be a hard-line leftist, railing against the hard-line right. Possibly. After all, crazy people are crazy. Speaking of crazy people, I think Trumps most serious threat will come from his own, special base. He's spent months courting the lunatic fringe, with unkeepable promises. When the unkeepable promises go unkept, who do you think will feel the most betrayed, the most disenfranchised, and the most a
