In an earlier postI asked my military and ex-military friends to tell me what they thought of the non-operational use of government and military (guess they’re the same really) aircraft by military officials… Stuff like being flown to Caribbean holiday spots and hockey games, for example. I didn’t get much feedback. But one chap whose […]

Trashy's World: I’m in Washington DC…
… and lines from my favourite all time TV show keep coming back to me… And right now, I hear a helicopter coming in low heading in the direction of the White House… JOSH: Victory is mine! Victory is mine! Great day in the morning people. Victory is mine! DONNA: Good morning, Josh. JOSH: I […]

Oh crap-be-gone… WHY does this keep coming up??????? C’mon – if you’re trying to score political points with your fellow troglodytes, please pick something that won’t hurt kids, OK? Like claiming Obama is a socialist. Or a Canadian. Still stupid, but it won’t hurt anyone. But noooooooooooooo…. here we go with vaccines…. again…. … it […]

Do you think that Natynczyk should or shouldn’t fully or partially reimburse the government for using military aircraft for personal purposes? Some of these flights were to attend armed forces appreciation events, and some were not (like the Caribbean holiday). CTV has reported that Gen. Natynczyk has spent nearly $1.5-million since 2008 flying on the […]

But, is there anyone out there who has flown in the past 50 yrs who does not know how to fasten their seatbelt prior to take off? AND, is there anyone out there who has flown in the past 20 yrs who needs to be reminded that “for your comfort, this is a non-smoking flight”? […]
Continue readingTrashy's World: I fashionably DISAGREE, SIR!
I take exception to the claim that ByTown peeps are among the worst-dressed in the world! An article on MSN Travel’s website said Ottawa’s bureaucratic, political stylings made it “perhaps the least sexiest city in Canada.” “Men sport the same boring navy suits that hang like shapeless curtains across their shoulders, women choose sensible shoes, […]

… or at least on my way out of Edmonton… Arrived late the other night for a day full of meetings yesterday… and leaving 36 hours later. I don’t mind these quick biz trips as long as they are worthwhile (i.e., I accomplish what I came to accomplish) and that one accepts the fact that […]

… for my MPP…
Not so good for Hudak and Hillier and their merry band of tax evaders!
Let’s hope that the momentum carries into next month… and it likely will if the PC’s (minus the “progressive” part) insist on…
Trashy's World: I was standing in line…
… waiting to get into my building. PSAC was having one of those controlled entry “job actions” to protest against a lack of progress at the negotiating tables. One of my ADMs was going up and down the line with Tim Bits telling us to relax and we’d be in the building soon. The Union […]

…might have to cancel my trip to D.C. Cuz, after reading this story, I suspect that the Cons on Twitter and elsewhere will be rounding up the names of all of we “lefty kooks” and sending them off to Homeland Security. After all, being a Progressive in this country is considered by some to be […]

The Ontario election is underway. The latest Harris-Decima poll is somewhat encouraging, but it is early. Yet, 11 points is significant. Maybe that old Ontario tradition of going one way federally and the other provincially will hold true again. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ The great debate: Is it “dinner” or “supper”?

And check out the geeky guy from CFRB who is being interviewed by Kinsella – definitely the face of a guy who belongs on radio…

Some of these new Tea Party candidates are pretty vicious. Gwendolene Thomason, 42, a Tea Party supporter from Jefferson City, was one of the hundreds on hand who were convinced that the Doberman was a Tea Party candidate until he was outed as a dog. “I liked what he had to say,” she said. ”He […]

Do the HarperCons have nothing better to do than send edicts about what should be on the walls of our Embassies and Missions?
This Government is a joke.
Vive la Republique Canadienne!

HahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHahaHaHaHahaHa Sorry. Had to post this guy again… needed a laugh after I bashed my middle toe on the leg of my desk! But hey! I’m not the only one laughing! How about good ol’ Leviticus of Old Testament fame! The Bible warns us against tattoos in Leviticus 19:28 (Amplified) which says, “Ye shall not […]

Eerie, isn’t it? Redrum, redrum… Regrem, regrem… Think about it… Mulcair in Jack’s role… Hammering an axe through the Liberal caucus room’s door! For those of you who don’t get the cultural reference, I pity you. Seriously, if the progressive voices are to ever unseat the ReformCons, they will have to merge, or at the […]

I had fully intended on writing something about the whole MERGER-MANIA that is currently sweeping the #cdnpoli Twitter stream. Much wringing of hands! Woot! You betcha! Didja realise that merger and murder are separated by but one letter? Think about it… “Redrum. Redrem.” “Redrum. Redrem.” OK. Two letters. Still! But! That will have to wait… […]

A. An over reaction?
B. An under reaction?
You be the judge which is worse.
I’d take A over B any day. New York City officials made the right call. As does anyone who errs on the side of caution in situations like this.
