Churches trying to rule us again.

Read the article.

If we allow the religious nutbars to influence every-day life again, we will bring back rule by the stupidly superstitious.  Is it not bad enough that we must tolerate rule by the plainly stupid?

Retards in Government

Cruise ships destroy property…

The _short_ comment:  The law was broken - the government refused to do anything about it.  Once again, government joins the bursting ranks of Asshats.

(BTW:  If you don’t like the word “retards”, you haven’t enough to do - get a life, maybe a hobby such as self-abuse with a butcher knife.)

Are the long knives far behind?

“Kent Scales moves to Tourism P.E.I. from his former post at P.E.I. Business Development...”

Pathetic Play for Pride in Oneself

It is a great thing CBC PEI is not operating as a news source as you would lose the chance for Islanders to take false pride in themselves.  From this story at CBC PEIl:

Maritime Electric is sending eight linemen to the Cayman Islands to help restore power after hurricane Ivan....  The Island crews will be joining more than 50 colleagues from Maritime Electric’s parent company, Fortis Inc.

You see, Fortis owns a big chunk the electric company in the Caymans: http://www.carilec.org/news_member_cuc_fortis.htm.  So they are sending their own workers to fix their own assets.  A real show of generosity.  I hope the workers were not suckered into volunteering.

School and Tavern

The absence of a member for Oyster Bed Bridge, my old riding, has been noted: http://pei.cbc.ca/regional/servlet/View?filename=pe_mackenzie20040913.

One of the things not getting done is the building of the Rustico school.  While the reasons noted might be important, the real problem is that there is a bar and a smoking area in the same building kindergarten is being held.  Could that possibly a unique feature of PEI as well?  Drop off the kids, shoots some pool over a Labatts.  Way to go Tories.

Island Fishermen betrayed.

Please RTFA:  ReadMe.

Binns and his rabble, not having clue #one about ... pretty much anything managed to completely sell out Island fishermen and process workers.  They made a sweet deal with that fishy Newfie corporation::: sweet for the corporation.

This story is NOT NEW.  I’m totally amazed Binns & Co. haven’t been bodily removed from the legislature in a gill net and dunked into the drink!

It would be interesting to know exactly who (in government) profits in what way from this mess of corporate foolishness.

funny story

A tavern was blessed with one of the first robot bar tenders.  Shortly after starting service with
the new unit, a local university professor enters the bar for a few drinks.  The robot greets the man
politely and asks him what his IQ is.

“Why, it’s 150!” the professor claims.  The robot then begins conversing pleasantly with the prof about
physics, chemistry, logic and other things interesting to an “intellectual”.

The professor is quite taken aback by this pleasant robot.  He thanks the machine and leaves,
only to return after a few minutes.  He sits and orders another drink from the robot who again asks
him what his IQ is.  “100”, says the prof.  The robot immediately begins conversing about sports,
home repairs and such things. 

Well, the professor is fascinated.  He again leaves the bar to return a short time later.  The robot
yet again asks the man for his IQ.  “50”, the professor proudly proclaims.  The robot pauses, then says:
“You gonna vote fer George Bush again, moron?”

Beware of Sneaky Websites.

This morning I was referred to Trusted Reviews .com to read up on their take on the RAM market.

As is my habit in the morning, I checked out the logs of my firewall, and found THIS.

I entered the URL (135.196.7.59:80), and the browser loaded trustedreviews.com!  Why would such a site try to go beyond the usually acceptable OS and browser and cookie checking?  What’s in it for them?

Strange......

What are Primiers for?……

Primier Pat Binns has mounted his trusty white stallion, and rides the high road of self-righteousness to save Islanders from the nasty possibility they might be able to watch women ‘git naked’ right around home - without that pesky trip to Moncton or Halifax.

What seems most disturbing to me is the stated goal to use political influence to compel the liquor licensing people to deny due process to the proposed strip bar.  This is shameful behavior, transparent in its self serving.  And yes, I will say it.  This is typical of Conservatives: pretending to come to the rescue of the self-righteous, the puritanical, the intolerant, and the bigotted.

Never Us

Why does CBC PEI never report when locals die in car crashes when liquored up but highlight it when two Newfoundlanders are alleged to have?

Like the Rest of the Country?

Once again, I have no idea what wiz-kid Philip Brown is talking about.  As reported by CBC PEI here: [http://pei.cbc.ca/regional/servlet/View?filename=pe_reserve20040521]

This summer Prince Edward Island will join the rest of the country by launching an on-line room reservation system.

Up until this year, tourists could only check for vacancies on-line. In order to actually book a room, they had to make a phone call or arrive in person. P.E.I. is the last province in the country to have the on-line reservation system.

I want to stay at the Comfort Inn in Kingston, I do it on line via the Comfort Inn website.  I want to stay at the Comfort Inn in Charlottetown, I do it on line via the Comfort Inn website.  What the hell is he talking about?  Have the good people of PEI just been sold another web-based bill of goods by the Tory wiz-kids?
