I finished the website for the employment agency I’m setting up. It’s the first time in a while where I’ve made every single element from scratch without boring a scintilla of code. Quite unlike me, I’m happy with the results. After rethinking everything, it looks like we have a going concern. [...]

Then again, maybe we are losing. Sandmonkey has called it quits. Sandmonkey is the Egyptian blogger - ‘the’ as in “THE” Egyptian Blogger, the alpha and omega of the genre. He’s given in. He’s surrendered. How much can a man take? Spies wandering down his street, phone bugged - [...]

From Jason Cherniak’s Blog:
One important thing that Jews can do to encourage continued support for Israel in the Liberal Party is to recognize when the leader shows his support for Israel.
Those ungrateful Jews, why don’t they realize that existence is a favour. Thank the Liberals … or else.  As a card-carrying Tory, I praise [...]

I was reading this thing on Slate. It was an excerpt from Christopher Hitchens’ (PBUH) new book ‘God is Not Great’.
Every week, at special ceremonies in Mormon temples, the congregations meet and are given a certain quota of names of the departed to “pray in” to their church. This retrospective baptism of the dead [...]

Gosh you hear that a lot.  Every other article on Rabble talks about how the war is lost.  The Democrats have boldly stated that the war is lost.  The war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, the ‘War on Terror’, all of the above, all lost.
What does that mean?  What does ‘losing a war’ mean.  [...]

3 months! I signed on as a contractor (project manager) for this company 3 months ago. I pulled this idea out of thin air, developed it from scratch launched it, took the first direct bookings and now we’ve got it. I’ve got it. A major UK-based European partner with offices all [...]

I’ve worked for a lot of politicians.  A short list includes:

Carmella Allevato
Libby Davies
Elizabeth Cull
Hedy Fry
Lewis Reford
Rod Bruinooge

Libby Davies I don’t remember, but friends of mine have had her over for dinner from time to time and find her to be pleasant.  Politically, as I’ve said in another post, I think that she puts her politics [...]

<– this is Arabic for’irony’. Not the text to the left, at least not just that, but the photo above. The caption reads: “Palestinians attend a demonstration against violence in Gaza…”

The title refers to the tendency to lawyer up at the earliest opportunity. The NDP are the masters of this - and thanks to them for it. If they hadn’t lawyered up after forcing the last election, we wouldn’t have a Tory government now. But they’ve done it since, calling ethics commissioners, [...]

I can’t remember which is proper Canadian English anymore, but whichever is - that’s the one I mean. I have just renewed my membership to the Conservative Party. In order to do so you must review their principles and decide if you agree with them. Here they are (less the party-machinery principles):
• A balance between [...]

Hooray! I’ve now been sick for an entire month! A Personal best. I’ve been incapacitated, short of breath and slowly drowning in my own lungs for a month. Well kudos to me. 2 solid grams of codeine so far.
Let’s all hope for another month of constant low level choking, intermitent [...]
