Tim's Tip of the Day
|
| I have decided that my intolerance of offensive odours is no longer something I wish
to refrain from expressing and suggest that you too consider this environment issue
and also let those who operate places to eat, that if they smell of tobacco smoke,
tell them plainly "your place stinks." Politely putting up with the abuse
by a few people is being impolite to yourself. |

Kevin's find of the day

 DIY cruise missile thwarted (PDF)
The BBC story on Tuesday told of a New Zealand man who has build a cruise missile
from parts he bought over the Internet. The US government pressured the New Zealand
government to force him to stop his project. |

 The United States
is officially breaking the constitutionality of the Rule of Law- Sunday
December 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This dramatic series of quotes points out the dangerous cross over the world's
remaining superpower has taken as it now considers only it to be able to judge what
is right and unless the issue is in that country's interest it will carry out whatever
action it chooses.

 The Grand old party is gone- Saturday
December 6, 2003
Today the Progressive Conservative party was taken over by the Canadian
Alliance and that seems to be that but earlier this week two different views of the
inevitable came in and we can see what Mr. Wolferstan from Victoria has to say in
his piece "honourable
and noble!" while on the other hand we have Robert Ede's optomistic view
"Making the Best
of the Tory "Yes", after Voting "No."

 honourable and
noble!- Saturday
December 6, 2003
by: W. H. Wolferstan
Victoria, B.C.: This commentary also appears in the
Friday edition of the Toronto Globe and Mail as Mr. Wolferstan objects to the charactisation
of the loyal Progressive Conservatives by a founder of the Canadian Alliance, Scott
McDougall. He wonders if this is the way to win friends and influence people.

 Making the Best
of the Tory "YES" Vote, after Voting "NO"- Saturday
December 6, 2003
by: Robert Ede
Richmond Hill Ontario: The reality of the absurd has
happened, this story sums up both the reality and the absurd and tosses in some "perhaps
we might" thoughts that help to clarify the situation that now faces a sizeable
number of Canadians.

 Congratulations for your "Foot in
Mouth Award" Mr. Misleader Rumsfeld!- Saturday
December 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: We all chuckled at the convolutions of the American Secretary of Defence's
responses but it now is official his "unknown knowns" recitation has been
rewarded with the "Foot in Mouth Award".

 Shopping Tisdale
2003, Part I- Thursday
December 4, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Today I set out to get a sample of Christmas shopping in our fair town taking
120 pictures to share with you but I had a little problem with the second set and
lost 40 pictures which I will re-shoot tomorrow. But today's tour involves the two
blocks downtown.

all metal three place flying sports coupe.

 The hypocrisy of the American Free Market
and the fallacy of Productivity: Agricultural subsidies, steel tariff,
quota on bras, and casualties of wars- Wednesday
December 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Though the Americans preach the wonders of
the free market system yet at every turn they do everything possible to undermine
and conflict with that same system when it is not to their advantage. This story
has outstanding references that illustrate the points made.

 Signs of Economic
Recovery Haven't Trickled Down- Wednesday
December 3, 2003
by: Mark Weisbrot
Washington: The Economy of the United States talks big, well sort of Texan at that,
but even though it showed a remarkable 8.2% growth in the last quarter the employment
rate and other economic indicators have not matched the action on Wall Street.

for this year's Christmas shopping season.

cheques.
