Obama observations

I think Barack Obama’s original intentions in saving cash by making federal buildings energy efficient is noble… but I’m not sure he’s given any thought to reducing the cost of the Presidency itself.  One person he could learn a great deal from about that is someone who’s reduced the cost of a country’s Presidency from $150million down to $4million – President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives.

To find a politician who is a bonafide honest good person is rare in this world… and some of the things he’s trying to do should become a manual for world leaders on how to preside over a country.  Check out the story on BBC News.

Then there’s the visit by the First Lady to the Department of the Interior which highlighted the lack of Native press organisations/reporters. That’s pretty stupid considering that Native news organisations across America have a pretty big readership.

Lyrics:

Sittin here on this lonely dock
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
All the things I feel I need to say
I cant explain in any other way

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah Id rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Now heres the sun come to dry the rain
Warm my shoulders and relieve my pain
Youre the one thing that Im missing here
With you beside me I no longer fear

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah Id rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

I could have saved so much time for us
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
You waited on me for so long
So now listen to me say

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah Id rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Say you feel the way I do

Miscellaneous stuff

I cannot imagine why one of the world’s most beautiful women Salma Hayek has just married a French billionaire.  Hmmmm… anyone?  Fuck, I’m jealous – and not of his money either!


Turns out that a British nuclear submarine has  collided with a French nuclear submarine in the Atlantic.  Considering the size and depth of the Atlantic Ocean, the chances of that happening are hundreds of millions to one.  Both were carrying nuclear weapons at the time – the French would have been their independently developed ones, and the British would have been our pussy boy bitchass rented ones from the United States of America.


I think it’s splendid that Palestinian police are now beginning to patrol and police Hebron more proactively and aggressively.  Less attacks on Israeli’s means less innocent children slaughtered in their hundreds by the IDF.


The United States of America has launched a remote control drone to patrol the Manitoba portion of the international border.  Apparently they won’t carry weapons of any kind and will need permission to enter Canadian airspace.  That’s interesting because the U.S has never before seemed to care about entering another country’s airspace with permission.  Also.. the article doesn’t say whether it would need U.S permission or Canadian permission to enter Canadian airspace hahahaha!


It doesn’t surprise me that a nurse in one of Toronto’s hospitals alleges another incident of the guards beating natives.  It’s ingrained in this country’s psyche to subjugate, oppress and treat Aboriginal people like a second class race of human.  It’s the biggest stain on Canada’s national image and reputation, and what’s more Canadians just don’t give a fuck.  How does that make Canada any better than the South African apartheid government?

Long Live The King – John Rowe

Long Live The King - John RoweThis book review is half coincidence and half on purpose after . This book is pretty much a manual on how it would go if Prince Henry assumed the throne in real life.

The plot starts when an IRA bomb kills George’s brother Richard, a few other members of the Royal Family and the Prime Minister.  George is quite like Prince Henry in real life – a bigoted and flamboyant rich kid.  Now King, George has to cool the relationship he has had for a while with Rebel Fitzpatrick – a very successful Catholic American singer.

In this book George is a King more than usually involved in politics and frequently has talks with the Prime Minister Rupert Kitchener about various problems such as union strikes, and the complete evacuation of British troops and willing Protestants from Northern Ireland.

Who should succeed to the British throne?

Assuming that we’re going to completely ignore the fact that , that they’re mostly Greek and German, and that the Monarchy is reminiscent of an age where money and class mattered more than respect, democracy and basic human rights… who should the British public be content with being their Monarch?

As a principle Read more...

Fade – Kyle Mills

I picked this book up at a bargain bookstore in the mall here in Kenora. Floating around, as you do in a bookstore, I saw Kyle Mills name and immediately picked it up and bought it based upon the strength because of .

One thing I liked about this book is that in this day and age, the chances of the United States of America having an Arab Muslim in their highly trained special forces ranks just doesn’t seem to be realistic.  However, Kyle Mills manages to write the story in a way that makes it believable.  You’d think that with the main character having an Arabic name the storyline would be about him being a spy for a country hostile to the United States like Iran or Syria – the plot is excellent and so is the car in it.  This is one of the ones you need to check out for real!

Synopsis:
A former Navy SEAL who speaks perfect Arabic, Salam al Fayed (a.k.a. “Fade”) had been one of the deadliest weapons in America’s arsenal – until a mission gone wrong put a bullet in his back, requiring risky surgery the government refused to pay for.

Embittered by a wound that could one day paralyze him, Fade isn’t exactly cooperative when Homeland Security insists on putting him back on the payroll. But they’re not taking “no” for an answer – and what is meant to be a foolproof deceptions turns into an explosive bloodbath.

It falls to an estranged friend of Fade’s named Matt Egan to clean up the mess made by his superiors. But it isn’t going to be easy – because Fade is gunning for the men who set him up. And Matt is at the top of the list…

Buy ‘Fade’ by Kyle Mills…

25 Things I Don’t Like

  1. I don’t like the way when most musicians and actors from the U.K find commercial success, they forget where they’re from and piss off to the United States of America and either flat out ignore the U.K or hardly ever work back in the U.K  (can anyone say HUGH LAURIE or CHRISTIAN BALE?).
  2. I don’t like the way lots of Americans think that they saved Britain’s arse in World War Two.  There wasn’t anything noble in allowing us to fight the German war machine on our own, and only entering the war when Pearl Harbour was attacked.
  3. I don’t like prudes who have a problem when someone mentions anything sexual.
  4. Mushrooms.
  5. Drug addicts and dealers.
  6. People who get mad at someone and refuse to tell them why.
  7. Women who use their period as an excuse to be bitches.
  8. Women who refuse to acknowledge that men sleeping with multiple women is an inherited genetic trait from millenia gone by when the male of the species had to bone as many females as possible to make sure his offspring survived and Uncle Joe’s in the next cave didn’t.
  9. People who smoke OR get drunk around children.
  10. Idiots who think Christian Bale or Hugh Laurie do convincing American accents.
  11. British folk who use American slang… example, using  ‘kicks’ or ‘sneakers’ instead of the British word ‘trainers’.
  12. The British group ‘Blazin Squad’.  What a bunch of punk bitch pretenders!
  13. Commercial-music-whores… people who only listen to the latest crap churned out, and forget about all the awesome music that’s come before.
  14. Idiots who stubbornly refuse to accept that Liptons / Red Rose teabags are the worst type of tea on the planet, and refuse to see they only like it because they’ve never had any tea of good quality like Twinings Earl Grey.
  15. People who think the majority of crime in the United States of America is perpetrated by black folk.
  16. The United States Customs and Border Protection team based at St Paul, Minnesota.
  17. Plain clothes store detectives who treat normal customers like criminals.
  18. ALL of the office jargon in this list: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7457287.stm
  19. People who back up their family when a family member has done something wrong.
  20. People who only date / marry / procreate inside their own race (except for minority indigenous groups who are being phased out of existence by colonial governments **cough, cough Canada**)
  21. Women who confused being independent and being a bitch.
  22. People who discriminate based upon skin colour, gender, or sexual preference.
  23. Anyone who thinks Coronation Street is a something good.
  24. Anyone who drives a truck and doesn’t use it to haul stuff… such as this dumb bitch from around Kenora who drives a HUGE F-350 gas guzzling, road hogging beast to drive her kids around and to go on the school run.
  25. Assholes who don’t know the rules of the road and abide by them.
