There are people who insist on calling the monstrous mega-project in northern Alberta the “oilsands”. I insist on the historically used “tarsands” since I try to reject all rebranding efforts (especially for projects that are so detrimental to life). Yes, it’s technically, chemically incorrect to call it tar sands. Even

Dead Wild Roses: Bill Maher on Greed
It is nice to see a little sanctimony coming from the other side of the political spectrum once and awhile. Bill Maher fills that role admirably. Filed under: Humour Tagged: Bill Maher, Greed, Greed is good, Humour, US Domestic Policy

My bad. I put away the snow shovel before June. Sorry Regina. I saw snowflakes flying in the street lights as I left the Lawson Thursday night. == As you may have noticed, I’m now an aspiring politician as well as a political blogger. We’ll see how my political blogging

I posted my eclipse photos the other day, but there are more to look through too. There’s an amazing coincidence photo from Japan, with a plane transiting the lunar transit. That’s a lot of lining up to do. WHOA RT @greenpost unbelievable shot of a plane flying by the #eclipse

Last year there was a new musician made famous for singing not so well, to a professionally produced music video. Rebecca Black became an Internet sensation, for being blah. Her video, “Friday”, quite possibly has the most dislikes of any on YouTube. Why might you care? Because it’s given rise

Gormley was critical of the bad language in Gunderson’s videos. I don’t care for foul language in most music either, but at least Gormley has a valid excuse for acting like a crotchety old man; I don’t know what my problem is. I do love Dirty Spaceman, however. And I

A Tory MP backbencher is rebelling in a refreshingly candid fashion. Not here, of course. It’s across the pond where the backbenchers appear to be doing more than baaing like sheep: “Tory MP David Davies sorry for ‘incompetent government’.” A Conservative MP has written to a newspaper to apologise for

Here’s some stuff that will probably not interest you, but I make available anyway for some laughs and potential humility/humour. I saw some very interesting search terms recently finding my blog. The most funny was “biggest cock in america” Which someone found because I wrote about the Biggest Cock-up Ever,

This is not photoshop. What is colon hydrotherapy, you ask? It’s an enormous enema. A Dieticians of Canada publication describes it as follows: Colonic cleansing or irrigation, touted as a treatment for cleansing the colon, involves the insertion of a rubber tube through the rectum into the large intestine. A
