That's a good plan. I guess I just enjoy sampling more of what the chemistry industry has on tap. :-)

While ordinary meat bags are getting gouged at the pumps, you can be damned sure that the White House insiders on the pay to play list were making bank with insider trading before the first bombs fell in Iran.

I've always found the big danger was me reaching for the paint water, because I made the mistake of putting a drink down nearby...

You can be damned sure that the White House insiders on the pay to play list got the heads up for some insider trading before the first bombs dropped, so they could make bank off this war.

How many Kurds have died over the years because the US government encouraged them to rise up and left them twisting the wind to get slaughtered, when they never saw any of the support they were promised when they needed it most.

We're already dealing with the time zone differences across Canada and even within British Columbia, so I think we can handle not being in synch with our American neighbours who are currently treating us like garbage. I just wish we'd permanently gone to standard time instead of daylight savings.

The only time a corporate monopoly has been successfully broken up was when it was their idea.

This was long overdue many decades ago, but better late than never. I would have preferred to permanently shift to standard time.

If it was a Patriot missiles system that shot them down it wouldn't even be the first time a Patriot missile system decided to honor its anti-aircraft roots and tried to shoot down a US Air Force jet during operations.

The only reason one of the Toddler in Chief's animals wouldn't get promoted to office is he doesn't have any. Animals feel a strong sense of cringe and dislike around him. Plus, there's no evidence that Incitatus was even put forward as a tribute or consul, despite being more worthy than many...

America is more of an end days of the Roman Republic, if there were a more stupid version of Caligula calling the shots and no adults in the Senate.

USS Gerald R. Ford has been at sea nearly 250 days. Systems are breaking down, including many toilets, with sailors waiting up to an hour to use the bathroom or going overboard. These constant deployments are being called 'The Toilet Wars' and morale is as bad as you'd expect. #operationepsteinfury

'Lotus Blossom' is the last track of 1968 tribute album '...And His Mother Called Him Bill', by Duke Ellington for best friend & music collaborator, Billy Strayhorn, who had recently passed away. In the background the band is packing up. #MusicChallenge #Masterpiece www.youtube.com/watch?v=elo6...

How does Brady still wear the "C" after yelling "close the northern border" and disgracing his captaincy? It should be ripped from his jersey.

Brady Tkachuk's locker stall should be boarded up and the "C" ripped from his jersey. He's a disgrace for yelling to "close the northern border" and the team should suspend him for being a disgrace to his captaincy, his team, the city he plays for, and his own family.

That's less than good. Take care of yourself and get better soon.

There's a steady trickle between NATO nations of soldiers moving to join allied nations, including Canadians going to the UK or joining the French Foreign Legion. There was the odd soldier going south to join the US military, but I think there will be less of that until they sort themselves out.

Going from watching best on best at the Olympics to Vancouver Canucks hockey is like staying a couple weeks at the Fairmont Hotel and then returning home to your cardboard box under the Oak Street Bridge.

Did the Toddler in Chief watch a nature documentary about a sick polar bear? Because there are actual places, the ones that don't have universal healthcare, that could use a visit from a hospital ship.

I think for the die hard hockey fans they'll manage, but having the game on that early on the weekend will lose a lot of viewers either because they're still in bed on the Wet Coast, they're watching the game while getting ready to go to church further east, or just thought the game was on later.

If they don't want troops to feel isolated, quit closing down all the officer/NCO/junior ranks mess drinking clubs where they could unwind, get mentoring, and generally vetch about the absurdity of their existence. You can't do that in an all ranks cafeteria with all the eyes on you.
