Pretty soon there be a pilgrimage to this weight loss clinic. It's one thing to believe this crap, it's totally another to pay $24,000 for a grilled cheese sandwich with an image of the Virgin Mary on it. Kudos to the one that sold it though.
Can you say "more money than brains"?

David Boyd running for Mayor
David Boyd, a taxi/tow truck driver from Halifax, is running for HRM mayor. His platform - making Halifax a Vegas of the east with more casinos and strip clubs.
In a 2004 run for council he also advocated changing marriage laws to allow unions between humans and androids.
Dave, why don't you shut the fuck up and do something useful; tow some cars or something?

Joe Lieberman's - McCain speech
Politics is such bullshit.
Joe Lieberman made a speech before the RNC in support of McCain and criticizing Obama's experience and as a result could potentially lose the chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The threat is that he could be removed from the Democratic Caucus which allows him to chair the committee.
Given that he's an independent, the sole solitary reason that he's still in the Caucus is the slim majority the Dems hold (49 R, 49 D and 2 I that causus with the Dems) in the Senate, otherwise he would have been long gone.
If this is what Lieberman honestly thinks, fine. However there's something inherently wrong in a system which penalizes and democratically elected representative from voicing the opionions of the people that chose him to represent them just because those opinions aren't the same as the rest of the party. It's not like this is any kind of epiphany, politics is, after all, all about power and not about representing the electorate.
A similar thing happened to Bill Casey of the Conservatives when he voted against his own party's budget last June because of changes that were made to the Atlantic Accord. He was expelled from Caucus and now sits as an independent.

Election in Canada - October 14th
Looks as though the PM will be asking the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and we'll be heading to the polls.
Out of the three candidates: Stephen Harper, Stephane Dion and Jack Layton; I can't say that any of them inspire me give my support. I used to be a member of the PC party but resigned about a year after the merger with the Alliance. I gave it a chance, but the new Conservative party just didn't reflect where I stood on a multitude of issues and Stephen Harper is simply someone I cannot support given his history political leanings. Particularly concerning to me was the 2% reduction in the GST/HST in lieu of reductions in income taxes. Reduction in the consumption tax will prove to be an serious error in judgement a few years out from now.
I'll have to find out more about the carbon tax proposal of the Liberals. I'm certainly not in support of any kind of tax grab. It's probably not all bad but I need more information.

Sarah Palin / Bristol Palin
It's been quite some time since I've blogged but this whole Sarah Palin thing and the media fascination with Bristol Palin being pregnant has forced me from hiding.
What used I used to find amusing in the US "news" I find increasingly annoying so I've stopped watching CNN and Fox News. I can certainly appreciate Lara Logan's comment, "if I had to listen to the news you watch United States I'd blow my brains out because it would drive me nuts." There was one exception though, I did enjoy watching Ali Velshi getting pummelled by wind during the Hurricane Gustav coverage. Way to go CNN, put the new guy on the barrier island, 7 ft above sea leave while anticipating a 10 ft+ storm surge.
CNN health benefits must be SWEET!
But, I digress....
It has to be tough for Bristol Palin, I'm sure she had a tough time when she told her parents she was pregnant. Now, even better, there's 400 million people talking about it; everyone talks about how candidates children are off limits, yet the media not only still talks about it but analyzes the shit out of it.
The bottom line: Unless you live in Juneau, Alaska and are either 18 years old or a perv, do you really care if Bristol Palin puts out?
