Just So You Know

Just in case Lex happens to miss it, I thought it was only right to let you know.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission dismissed a hate speech complaint against Maclean’s magazine on Friday in a decision the complainants blamed on “inappropriate political pressure.”
Just to be clear, that would be the complaint claiming that an article written by [...]

April Fool’s?

Apparently I’m not as in the loop on things as I thought as this just made it my way: Admiral Selection List
As always, some quality leaders seem to have made it, some politicians made it, and some downright heinous choices seem to have been made.
Oh, and let’s not forget the many fine leaders who got [...]

Saturday Funny (Unless You Are a Car Buff)

Oil and Obama

Occasional poster JarHeadDad wrote a wonderful comment over at Cassandra’s that I thought would be appreciated here. Apparently, the subject of Barak Obama stirred memories of JHD’s childhood in Louisiana…
When I was a kid my Papa used to buy some things from a guy that traveled the Parishes selling goods from an old wagon. He [...]

When You Cover Yours, Please Leave Theirs Out Of It

When Canada changed its policy to provide that that our military would no longer turn over prisoners to the the Afghans, the government neglected to tell anybody. I guess it must have been on a ‘need to know’ basis. And Canadians, apparently, didn’t need to know.
To add insult to injury, when the truth was outed [...]
