11/29/2006 Bits and Pieces of This and ThatThis morning the famous luxery Airbus landed in Vancouver; the only North American stop during its test drive. It will hold up to 853 passengers, fly 14,800 km before refueling, sells at 230 million smackaroos, and no doubt the tickets will be three times more expensive than a normal plane ticket. This baby's got two levels and a dining room. Right up Benny Hinn's alley, eh?
Well the Liberal leadership race is in full swing. Eight contenders vying for the future PM's spot with their hopes of changing the country of Canado. Mike Ignatiaf's in the lead...but not my cup of tea...he's a Jew-hater. Bob Rae sounds like a cross between a Grit and a Tory, just to name a few. Scott Brison's in the race as well...wanna know what gimmick he's using to win over delegates' votes??? SKIMPY LITTLE THONGS!!! LMAO!!! Yep, little black thongs with pink on 'em specially designed to get delegates to vote with their penises. Oh, my, what a desperate stunt to get votes!!!
Pope Benedict arrived in Turkey yesterday to try to undo his boo-boo he made in September. Not surprisingly, thousands of Muslims rallied together to protest the Pope's visit. Y'know, Popey dear, you shoulda kept your big mouth shut in the first place. You better hope and pray that you didn't TOTALLY undo Pope John Paul's years of hard work of building Christian-Muslim relations. Oh, and BTW, has the late pope been declared St. John Paul yet?
PM Stephen Harper recently announced that Quebec is now a nation within a united Canada. It was cleared thru the House of Commons yesterday, and no doubt Quebeckers celebrated their victory...probably another step to becoming their own country. C'mon, frenchies, stop your whining and complaining! You already have national recognition of being a distinct society. Why don't you guys just become part of us anglos? After all, we ARE a multi-cultural country.
Christmas is here with all its bells and whistles. Starting the beginning of November Christmas advertising came in full swing even BEFORE Remembrance Day. Now, seriously, ain't that a bit much? My husband bought a tree last night and had it set up by this morning. Now it's sitting there, waiting to be decorated. You know what? It already feels like Christmas Day is next week or something. Weird. Ah, the power of marketing... 11/22/2006 A Canadian Woman's RantYesterday, MPs voted unanimously to honor our vets by giving the last WWI vet a state funeral. I agree 100%. They put their lives on the line for our freedom...something we take for granted nowadays. I wonder if they're gonna do it for the last veteren of WWII. Wouldn't be a bad idea...
So this guy down in Colorado (US) somewheres by the name of Tom Tancredo, a Repub, suggests that Dubya has hopes for the US, Mexico, and Canada integrated together under one economy. He says the Mexican Prez Vinente Fox has the same hope, and now PM Stephen Harper's buying into it. Hoo boy. NO THANK YOU!!! I'm a proud Canadian and I want to stay under my own country. Maybe not in the near future, but in my grandkids' generation, people'll actually talk about integrating the US, Mexico, & Canada into ONE COUNTRY!!! Scary stuff, eh?
Finally, MPs are gonna vote whether or not to re-open the same-sex marriage issue. Since the definition of marriage has been changed under the rule of PM Paul Martin, some 1200 gay couples have walked the aisle. This vote (if not defeated) will allow a fair and open vote on SSM, instead of being forced to vote in favor. (Paul Martin's Cabinet Ministers had to vote in favor of SSM, and NDP leader Jack Layton forced all N-Dippers to vote favor or else lose their job.) Methinks the vote to re-open the SSM issue will be defeated. My MP, Alexa MacDonough'll just vote nay even if all her constutuents urge her to vote in favor. Just because she's...uh...gay herself??? Hmmmmm.... 11/13/2006 The DIGITAL CameraI wonder what's all the hype about calling the camera "the digital camera". I mean, am I the only one who calls my camera "my camera"? Before the digital camera came on the scene the most popular camera was the 35mm camera. I didn't hear people say "Oh, wait, lemme get my 35mm camera...I need to get that shot." or "Honey, did you bring the 35mm camera?"
So the digital camera makes its debut...it comes in as a status symbol. It's the DIGITAL camera, okay? I mean, like, I always carry my DIGITAL camera with me in my purse in case I see a good picture scene. Or when I'm at a function, I look around, and here's everyone with their DIGITAL camera taking cute pics of their children. I mean, I love my DIGITAL camera. At my Christmas party, I'm gonna make sure the batteries for my DIGITAL camera are charged up. Then, in February, there's this annual Eagle Watch in the Kentville area, and I gotta make sure I have my DIGITAL camera to take pics of eagles for my husband.
Yeah, like I'm trying to make a statement or something. Get real. It's just a stupid camera! Anyway, I gotta run...where's my camera...ah, there it is! 11/8/2006 Thank God I Ain't AmericanSo I must have gotten the American elections mixed up...they were mid-term elections...funny. So, anyway, Dubya's job's still intact for another 2 years, but not surprisingly, the Repubs lots a LOT of seats to the Demos...exactly what I expected. Methinks that people were voting AGAINST Dubya...sorta like strategic voting. This is such weird country...thank God I'm Canadian. 11/6/2006 Sadly Insane RantThe verdict was passed: Sadly Insane has been found guilty of killing 150 Kurds in the '80's. Sentenced to hang. Yep. That's sure is a merciful sentence to such an evil and insane person. After nine months of childish antics by Saddam, his seven co-defendents, and his defense lawyer team (boycotting, hunger strikes, sitting backwards, and even appearing in court in long-johns!) the judge found 'em guilty. Though visibly shaken, Saddam had a hint of a smile on his face. Probably thinking how pleased Allah would be since he'll be a martyr. Sheesh. Why not life in prison so he can die with a wimper?!?
And so the reaction worldwide is divided. The Pope is against the sentence for some unknown reason. Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay's reserving comments until the appeal process is complete. Very Canadian, eh? Of course Dubya jumped in calling this verdict a victory for the Iraqi people. I think he really meant that it was a major victory for the Bush Administration, and that people will soften their hearts and vote for Dubya tomorrow. Iraq is even divided. Some are so scared that Saddam will escape and become leader (like he did a few decades ago) so naturally they'll support Saddam and blow themselves up. Then there are those who suffered under the regeime and are celebrating that Saddam has been sentenced to death.
Well, anyway, Sadly Insane still considers himself the Prez of Iraq. LMAO!!! His defense lawyer still refers him as "the President". hahaha Methinks that he's appealing cuz a) he thinks he's gonna escape from jail and take over the country like he did before or b) the guy's so frigging insane that he'll do anything to have the world pay attention to him. 11/4/2006 Halloween, Dubya, and the Bonzai DropWell, Halloween came and went...the kiddies got their year's supply of candy (which will be gone before Christmas), the satanists chanted and raged against the Christian church, and the dentists will enjoy more business filling cavities. The fundamentalist evangelicals scared the crap outta sinner with their haunted hell houses, the ultra-conservative Christians bound satan in Jesus' Name, and the Jehovah's Witnesses just simply turned up their noses.
Old Dubya's trying to win that US election as if his life depended on it. Somehow I don't think he's gonna make it. So long, Dubya!
I wish my hubby would just quit it with his stupid fat jokes. There's this really cool vid by Weird Al Yankovich called Fat (a parody of Micheal Jackson's Bad) and one line says: "You better watch your mouth/Or I'll sit on you" I wish Hubby could see the vid...it's hilarious! If you log on to YouTube, search for weird al fat. Anyway, the line shoulda read "You better watch your mouth/Or I'll do a Bonzai Drop" hehehe. Maybe Hubby would stop if someone did THAT to him!!! |
