Good guys in Vancouver and Ben Gurion

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:51:47 -0500

In new Vancouver International Terminal (I am flying to Osaka) there is a free wireless internet and electrical sockets. Good guys!

In Ben Gurion (Israel) there is also free Internet but not power.

These two airports score the best in my roster!

He should not be at Guantanamo Bay. He should face justice where he committed his crimes - in Afghanistan.

If I was Kantar

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 04:56:39 -0500

I would be scared, really scared. Because if Nasrallah decides that Kantar became too popular, and gets too big portion of love and admiration (well, he deserves them, not everyone, not even Nasrallah managed to smash the scull of a child), a little kaboom would send too beloved Kantar to his 72 virgins (taking probably many of his relatives with them).

Child's blood is sticky

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:36:02 -0500

Right-dishonorable president and prime minister of lebanon shook hands of child-murderer and some part of the child's blood got transferred to their hands. I hope that no Western leader and Prime Minister of Canada will ever shake their bloody hands!

Ken gone, his buddy Miller to go

Mon, 05 May 2008 21:58:59 -0500

Red Ken gone! Londoners became tired of his loony left rhetorics, anti-Zionism (which many, me including, consider as a thinly weiled anti-Semitism) and probably support he got from some of radical (extremist) Moslem preacher caused more harm to him.

Now, hopefully his buddy David Miller, the Mayor of Toronto, pink David as I call him, will go in the next election too. He is just Canadian version of version of Ken, the loony left positions diluted, distilled but equally stupid.

School funding. IV

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 05:50:14 -0500

One could argue that the public should pay only for non-religious portion of education leaving religious education funding to community, church or parents. But those who believe that non-religious part of education in faith-based (or private, or charter) schools should not be funded, are bigots.

School funding. III

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 21:22:10 -0500

Mr McGuinty justifies his opposition to public funding faith based schools by the fact that they are not inclusive and produce narrow minded people (aka bigots).

Message from my MacBookPro

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 08:13:13 -0500

Listen All, I'm glad to tell
That I'm feeling so well,
That I am not junk from Dell,
And my Owner and User,
Is not stupid Windoloser!

Internet Crimes

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:46:52 -0500

Some poor lady got fined over $200,000 US for sharing music over Internet. RIAA got her. I am not sure she did it (may be her Windoze PC got zombied). Anyway, whatever RIAA claims this is the victimless crime (unless one counts what profit they would get if everyone who downloaded this music bought it).

Let us talk about real Internet crimes. Everyday I am getting hundreds of "my" email messages bounced back; in almost the cases the original message is attached and in each and every such case I can trace that this original message was sent from Windows PC (and it is secure to assume that it was an infected zombie).

Blank cheque

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 18:55:54 -0500

Today I found in my mailbox the leaflet from the incumbent MPP from Willowdale riding Mr David Zimmer. "Are you going to write to John Tory the blank cheque for undisclosed amount to pay for faith based schools? I don't". Nice. We know the number of children enrolled in such schools and we know how much is given for 1 child. But Mr Zimmer is not going to give this cheque to pay for kids of our neighbors who BTW supported education of our children paying their taxes.

School funding. II

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 07:46:37 -0500

Opponents accuse J.Tory in his intention to starve public school system. They (Liberals and NDP) promise to give much more money to public schools, and Liberals actually even mention math and science schools. Good guys?

School funding

Fri, 28 Sep 2007 06:50:11 -0500

Mr. Tory, PC leader (Ontario) promises to fund all faith schools as long as they follow the standard curriculum. Green Party and some organizations oppose to this and propose to eliminate funding of all faith schools, including Catholic ones.

Meanwhile Liberals and NDP want the current system to stay: Catholic schools get full funding, others get zilch. This is completely hypocritical and discriminatory position, especially from Mr McGuinty, who was educated in Catholic system, has his children educated and his spouse working in this system. If Right Dishonorable Mr. McGuilty does not understand that he has a conflict of interest and should keep his mouth shut, he does not deserve to lead anything, leave alone the largest Canadian province.

Gift packages

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:55:44 -0500

in Soviet Union shops used "gift packages" in which high demand items were bundled with low demand ones. In the case of grocery stores the former were fresh and quality products while the latter were expired ones.

Shooting range

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:42:31 -0500

University of Toronto Administration decided to close the shooting range beneath of Hart House. Official goal is to keep campus gun-free. No guns - no shooting. However there was not a single instance of the safety violation, leave alone the breach of security in this range.
