Another Day Another Post
“I climb fences when i got fences to climb.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath Steinbeck dove headfirst into the injustices of the world, who did not shy away from the gross inequality he saw around him, of negligence, of greed, of lies and laying blame at another’s feet. That kind of writing gives me a lump in my throat, rising bile of anger, I always … Continue reading Another Day Another Post

A Few Lines Written While Listening To CBC Radio
So, have I mentioned my internet’s been up and down the last while like a hookers knickers? Almost 6 weeks now, but on Saturday night went down completely, I was forced to amuse myself by other means. Oh boredom, and the muses that one goes seeking in the places where you used to play, but that damn device lured you away. It was a reminder, … Continue reading A Few Lines Written While Listening To CBC Radio
The Power Of Patience Within Pandemonium
The tide is turning, and the swearing-in of the 116th Congress brought with it a breath of new faces and renewed hope.

Times That Try The Soul Are These
When I was in grade 6 my best friend was a girl named Sue.

Pompacity Or The New York Times?
Riding into work via taxi the other morning and the driver was listening to a radio program discussing with some experts Canada’s contracts with the Saudi’s, and what the next moves would be, should be, and so forth. It drew me in because the whole conversation seemed so alien at first and actually completely missed what they were actually saying since I was so struck … Continue reading Pompacity Or The New York Times?
Chitter Chatter Lets Get At ‘Er
Suppose I’ve always been a sucker for U.S. politics, as politics in Canada tend to be more staid, diplomatic, rather dry. In the U.S. every election is a grand show that crisscrosses the country, with verbal swipes and scandals and shenanigans lasting for months and months and months. On the other hand, in Canada, after a short campaign, a brief song and dance, sometimes scandal … Continue reading Chitter Chatter Lets Get At ‘Er

And I ask you, why is it that woman’s voices have been so maligned once men took up spears to make wars and take ownership of something one can not truly own? What has been hidden? So distrusted? These voices ignored even, and in the face of years of research, expertise in the field? Continue reading When God Wore Pink Pyjamas And Fed Us Magic
Musings Of A News Junkie At Dawn

So, if that’s true, and he knows he’s over his head, possibly indicted, possibly lose everything, 17 investigations swirling still in the air, and that whispering of the deals … Continue reading Musings Of A News Junkie At Dawn

All That And a Bag Of Chips
Suppose to me America has always been like that older sibling, the pioneer, the rebel, the spy, the confidant, someone you admired, sometimes an ass, a liar, a thief, a nuisance, oblivious. Historically, were born of the same stock, of the same places, though us with our French and they with the Spanish, with Native peoples on both sides, and mistreated in much the same … Continue reading All That And a Bag Of Chips
