Step Right Up! Come Get Taken For Everything You Own Like A Total Idiot!

Guys like Henry Gribbohm here are probably one of the main reasons that the Ontario government is meeting so much resistance to its efforts to open casinos here in Kitchener and elsewhere.

This Brings New Meaning To The Term Carpetbagger

There are several things we’re often told when working with machinery. Wear goggles, don’t wear loose clothing and always turn it off immediately if something gets stuck are a few examples. One thing I’ve never heard, however, is wear a cup. But after hearing the story of Edgardo Toucet, that may change. Toucet was hired …

Fetuses Are People, Right Up Until They Start Costing Us Large Sums Of Money

I don’t want to get into a great big religion debate here, but I have to ask. How much is your faith actually worth to you when you’ll toss one of your core beliefs aside completely in order to have a wrongful death lawsuit against you thrown out? The case involves the 2006 death of …

Here’s a strange one. Yes, I’m aware that covers about 87% of everything that finds its way here. I just needed a way to start this, and that was the best I had. Anyway… A 43-year-old high school French teacher from LaSalle, Quebec has lost his job after pleading guilty to charges that he lured …

Lawsuit Goes As It Should. What Are Things That Don’t Happen Nearly Enough, Alex

It’s Jodhan 2, Feds 0. A Toronto woman’s 2010 legal victory ordering Ottawa to make government websites accessible to the blind within 15 months …

I’m Baaack…I Think

So yeah…I haven’t posted for nearly two weeks. Definite fail…although failing at blogging seems to be a regular occurrence for me now. I think, *knocks on wood* that I’m out of the medical woods. I feel better, and bunches of my problems appear to be vanishing. It’s funny. I’ve had this since I was a …

For Once, An Ass Explosion That Can’t Be Blamed On Taco Bell

It seems to me I have started posts in this manner before, but I must do so again. Believe it or not, there have been times in my life during which I have been very, very drunk. I’ve had some good ideas and some not so good ideas, and have even written a post or …
