Right On! Blog

Gotta like a kid with the stones to head over to a war zone.

“I don’t think I will ever leave him in the house alone again,” she said. “He showed a lack of judgment.”

Better sign him up for the Marines.

Mark is thrilled that Arnie stood up to the Greens of Austria.  Me too!

Which is why I rejoice at Arnold’s reaction to the “threat” from Graz. Writing to the Mayor of his old town, Schwarzenegger noted that in the course of his gubernatorial term he’d have to make decisions on other death-row inmates, too – the next one comes up in January. So, wrote the Governor, “In order to spare the responsible politicians of the city of Graz further concern, I withdraw from them as of this day the right to use my name in association with the Liebenauer Stadium… I expect the lettering to be removed by the end of 2005”

A gruesome story featuring one of the ROP’s more barbaric customs.

Nazir Ahmed appears calm and unrepentant as he recounts how he slit the throats of his three young daughters and their 25-year-old stepsister to salvage his family’s “honour” — a crime that shocked Pakistan.

Things may be getting worse here in hogtown,

Less than 24 hours earlier, the stretch of Yonge between Gould and Gerrard Sts. was a scene of chaos as a

shootout claimed the life of a 15-year-old girl and left six other people wounded.

but at least they’re not as bad as in Milwaukee.

A motorist who was kicked, punched and left alone in the street after honking at a group of people suffered severe head trauma and may not survive, police said.

I love these daycare whine stories. 

But I have been left to wonder what kind of a society gives such short shrift to the development and well-being of its young children and the needs of working parents.

I wonder what society creates an environment where women aren’t even interested in being an option for their kids’ upbringing.

Mark on the war on Xmas.

One December a few years back, I was in Santa Claus, Indiana, and went to the Post Office – a popular destination thanks to its seasonal postmark. “Merry Christmas!” I said provocatively.

Mark wonders where the billions of aid money all went.

One year ago—Dec. 26, 2004—a tsunami walloped a huge swathe of the world from Indonesia all the way to Africa.

Good to see another blogger is also worried about the gelding of all that is male in the school world.

I was saddened to read a recent Edmonton Sun editorial, penned by a mother who is evidently upset that her son – get ready for this – ACTS LIKE A BOY!!!!!

Who will fight any future wars if all the men are made into women?

Can someone explain to me the whole point of a man marrying another man?  How does this help further society? 

I liked Elton John’s music, but stories like this, giddy with excitement, only make me ask “Why?”

Furnish was feted last night by world leaders and Hollywood royalty at a private party after tying the knot in England with his partner of 12 years, Sir Elton John.

The most idiotic part of this story is the fact that the author seems to put more import on the fact tbat the shooting was done near a daycare center than the fact that someone had his head blown off.

“If they were targeting Mr. Skinner specifically, that’s awful enough. But to do it in such a populated area with children all over the place, they have to be ashamed of themselves.”

Sadly, I was making a delivery to a store right across the street, not 20 minutes after the murder .

A fascinating look at the world of retouching.  Recommended for anyone with girls.

Fred on the old, old days.

We have come down in the world. Bushmen may have poor table manners, but they don’t commute.

There sure are lots of ways to die.

Somes, even Tequila Sheila gets it right.

Those who choose to stay home to care for their kids, or to make family or other arrangements, should not be penalized. Like father, government does not always know best.
