Jack not local

I had no idea JackFM was North America wide.

This is the so-called Jack format that’s riding radio waves all across the U.S. In the last three weeks alone, the format, or a close variant, has debuted on stations in five major metropolitan areas—Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis, adding to the half-dozen or so that had switched since Denver inaugurated the format in the U.S. a little over a year ago.

I actually like the format — figures it was invented in the US.

Another Turncoat

Another blow to democracy: an angry woman spurned: Belinda turns tail and jumps to corruption.

Martin sat beside a smiling Belinda Stronach at a surprise news conference and introduced the rookie parliamentarian as his new human resources minister.

First a fag, now an appoarent power whore…boy, Liberals will take anyone.

It’s no great loss for the Conservatives – in fact, it’s a benefit.

Let’s see: she’s pro-gay, can’t commit to a husband, has public affairs (bad for children), and stands for nothing, except, apparently, grabbing power.

Can you imagine being a 10 year Liberal MPP, hoping for a cabinet post, and this turncoat pops in, all cozy with PM Dithers, and gets a plum post?

Loyalty is one of the most important parts of any relationship – she has none.

Why a leader would welcome a disloyal person into his arms is equally foolish.

Newmarket voters will do well to teach her a lesson next election.

Burning sense

It’s clear that old biases are going to keep sensible incineration off the table and truckloads of garbage rolling down the 401.

Will we ever have leaders who will lead instead of follow (the polls)?

Reverse bridge

Dunford notes that the bridge that didn’t get built cost nearly twice as much than it would have to be built.

Boy we pay through the nose for Liberal money mismanagement.

Innocence lost

Oh, for the good old days, according to Fred.

The summer of ’62 didn’t seem like much at the time. It was just summer. The County of King George was a forested section of Tidewater Virginia, peppered with small farms, and home to watermen who crabbed on the Potomac. To us it was just KG. It was about all we in high school knew. Only later did I realize what we’d had.

What’s wrong with adoption?

The problem with stories like this is they always miss the point – 80% of all fetuses are “terminated”, and only 4% of babies are given up for adoption.  With record numbers of couples waiting for babies to adopt due to old eggs and sperm, the government should be doing their best to promote adoption and do everyone a favor – the teen moms, their babies, and childless couples.  Instead of thousands for fertility clinics, have couples subsidize teen mothers while pregnant to make their lives better until delivery.
