Mike Duffy: Not the Story I Originally Expected

Posted on 2013-11-07 by dgilbert

For most of the Sen­ate scan­dal sto­ry, I have to admit that I was laugh­ing at Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin.  I should­n’t have been.  I’m savvy enough to know that Harp­er is a Dick (capital‑D Dick), but the spin … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Posted on 2013-11-04 by dgilbert

Open the flood­gates.  Open the blog.  Open the soft­ware.  Open the gov­ern­ment. Open Your Mind Dra­mat­ic words, no?  Mean­ing­less words?  Some would have you believe. Con­sid­er “open” for a moment. Open the Flood­gates At it’s most sim­ple, “open” rep­re­sents the … Con­tin­ue read­ing →

Amazing: Contempt of Parliment and Nobody Cares!

Posted on 2011-03-30 by dgilbert

I’m amazed, frankly.  Our for­mer fed­er­al gov­ern­ment (it’s elec­tion time in Cana­da right now) is guilty of many uncon­scionable trans­gres­sions.  Some of these are legal like the elec­tion fraud where­by the Con­ser­v­a­tives were able to spend many mil­lions more than … Con­tin­ue read­ing →
