Seriously. I know its way more complicated than I think, but why is having a conservative government a good thing fiscally?

From the CBC website

Those of you who ever bother to listen to me know I like to rant about CBC.ca‘s comments but this one takes the cake. I mean I know generally when you read something this asinine its someone’s poor attempt at satire or sarcasm, but this… this takes the cake…

Even in these days of internet illiteracy… seriously… sigh…

This is uncalled for he is going into that uncharted, undesturbed and prestine landscape and killing all the animals that live there, he must be stopped because next thing you know he will have oil and polution down there when it does not belong and he should call the wild life protection agancy and arrest himself and put him in jail because the money it spent on going there we could of went to voyage a new planet for NASA and then the little pretty fishes at the bottom of the sea would thrive in the environment!

Far from its humble beginnings in the automotive industry, now these matrix barcodes, scannable if you use a QR-code reader, are now beginning to appear on condom wrappers in the United States. Why? To allow the users to post and record the location of their sexual activity online for the world to see.

LOL, just LOL. I can only imagine what the more ingenious of the crowd are going to do with this…

Shafia accused saw deceased as ‘diseased limb’

That’s what the head read on the front page of the CBC.ca site. It implies that the accused stated that the murder victims were indeed no more than diseased limbs to him. But if you read the next sentence in a much smaller, unbolded, type size:

“Three Montrealers accused of drowning four family members in Kingston, Ont., viewed the deceased as the “diseased limb on the family tree” that needed to be removed, the prosecutor told jury members on Thursday.”

…you realize that in fact this statement was made up by a prosecutor who, in speaking to a jury, is trying to get a conviction. For skimmers like me (who make up at lest half of the population according to a recent non-scientific survey) the first, and likely lasting, impression is that the accused did in fact have this view instead of the actual fact that this is purely an accusation on a part of a prosecutor trying to win a case.

I hate this kind of journalism. I would rather read the National Enquirer where at least I know they are deliberately skewing the story. I declare it a stupid human trick.
