Fred says it’s becoming a woman’s world.

Manliness certainly isn’t in demand. The women of today seem to want a metrosexual who loves to shop, helps with the housework, and never does anything that she wouldn’t want to do. He may wear an earring. Modern marriage sounds like a sort of heterosexual lesbianism. The man should be as little like a man as possible while having complementary genitals.

Odd I heard this news while stuck at the bottom of the Spadina Expressway stump.

Influential urban thinker and celebrated author Jane Jacobs has died at age 89. She would have been 90 next week.

I don’t celebrate people that essentially brought paralysis to a city.  Christ, she didn’t even sound like she was from here.

Here’s a story that proves that if you have a sick kid and live in the GTA, you should head directly down to the place that fixes children best.  I can personally attest to this.

An amusing tale of border absurdity security.

Life in border towns has always presented challenges for residents.

An interesting study in people’s mousie habits.

As Fred wanders up the Ajijic Trail, he wonders if this is the life we should be living, as opposed to living on top of each other in the paved suburbs.

As you start up the hill above the village the going is steep, and loose rock slides beneath your feet, requiring care, but with increasing altitude the trail levels off a bit and runs through scruffy vegetation.

The end of civilization must be near in Britain if they’re worried about

stuff like this.

Incredible how thin skinned people are today.  Maybe the Muslims took

their que from the PC class who are ruining our way of life?

Mark says it’s time to act again Iran now, or pay a bigger price later.

That moment of ascendancy is now upon us. Or as the Daily Telegraph in London reported: “Iran’s hardline spiritual leaders have issued an unprecedented new fatwa, or holy order, sanctioning the use of atomic weapons against its enemies.”

George Orwell must be rolling in his grave.

A man who shouted racist insults at Muslim worshippers outside a Cumbria mosque has been jailed for six months.

This is racism?

The most sensible thing said yet on Kyoto.

“‘Climate change is real’ is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified.

Goldstein is sick of the daycare lobby’s bleating over their lost daycare billion dollar baby.

Parents who chose to stay at home and look after their children would receive no benefit at all.

Nor would the majority of parents with children in child care who do not use institutional daycare centres, but other options such as having a relative or neighbour care for their young children, either inside or outside the family home.

Interesting read on the people of Halton’s (and I suspect most of the country) take on this annoying daycare debate.

So I was standing at the front of a Town Hall meeting a few weeks back, in Oakville, and we were talking about child care. Things were getting hot.

This cartoon really illustrates the whole debate.  Why are women so eager to give their kids to the government?  It really makes no sense, but this in effect is what the daycare lobby is telling everyone.

Is the daycare lobby really so powerful, or is it true that women would prefer to work than raise their kids?

If you’re into meeting new people on the internet, chances are, they look like this.

Scary, indeed.

It’s so refreshing in this day of feminazism and courts excluding fathers to see the movie Evelyn (Buy here) ($US orders)

With a gentle tug at the heartstrings, Evelyn tells the true story of an imperfect father whose devotion brought much-needed change to rigid Irish law.

Manly, yes, but I like it too (remember the Irish Spring soap commercials?).
