i need a beer ...

.... and a lawyer ...

Aye!

come to my office, little girl. i'll show ya things ...

Jamie Sommers could have heard it from anywhere ...

Anyone here ever see him sing?

I would have liked to have seen him, but I have a feeling I would have either been a bit bored or glued to the edge of my seat with a tingling spine. Hard to say.

Just prior to the 1985 election, Conservative Premier Bill Davis rammed thru funding for Catholic school boards. It backfired, and the PCs who were expected to win handily were barely elected with a small minority government. John Tory was Davis' legislative secretary.

It completely baffles me that Tory seems to be repeating the same fatal mistake that ended the Big Blue monopoly in Ontario politics 20 years ago. Desparation, I guess.

I actually has a great deal of respect for the man. He always struck me a straight shooter. But now, he seems to have lost his mind.

I already have the Dalai Lama, Ween ...

who's opening?

ive seen martin a bunch of times. he's a lot of fun and very entertaining. has a GREAT voice - big range - and his tunes are well crafted and catchy. its just him. no band. but he fills the hall. i'd recommend him.

OMG, wow. sure, its a "joke", but really. grab a brain John.

I got a call last night from his campaign office. They asked my opinion on a lot of things, but their questions were so biased they will be analytically useless. "Do you agree that the Liberals have been useless and have no agenda?", "Dalton McGuinty broke his promiss about eliminating coal powered energy by 2007. Do you agree that Dalton McGuinty broke his promiss?" ... huh? you tell me he broke his promiss then ask me if he broke his promiss? Why not just ask, "Dalton is a big pooh pooh head. Do you think Dalton is a pooh pooh head?"

Funny, i always thot the Tories had their act together when it came to the science of politics. I guess not.

look for surge in tory support throughout september, and then a last week melt down and reelection of the grits when people see thru Tory's amateur sideshow.

wow

did y'all like perry farrell's satellite party?

ditto ... or ... can we make one up?

Karma in action.

so true

dont nobody deny nuthin' ... they're ALL true ...

i will miss ... being able to get from my car to my office without having to endure "Commerce rules, Yes it does" and "Engineering's Number One!!" chants ... as well as the masses of princesses, four-wide, each on her cellphone, taking up the entire sidewalk.

when i was a kid, i heard that david bowie and alice cooper had a gross out contest on stage that ended with bowie eating alice's freshly laid loaf.

i once heard garth brooks released an alt-rock album under a pseudonym ...

was good. i dont know their stuff too well, but was fun. i could have done without two openers (USWM didnt get onstage till 11:40 or so) and my energy level let me down, so we left before the show was finished. the female singer is really good, as is the main guy. no drums. just various acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, banjo, a double bass, a squeezebox and vocals. the funny thing was that there were actually a bunch of stelco or dofasco workers there ... real steelworkers. the more i go to pepper jacks the more i like it.

ok, but global warming is still for real, right?
