Absolutely Disgusting

Assholes
One person attempted to protect The Bay from thugs during yesterday's Vancouver riot but they beat him for his troubles (3:14). I'm disgusted and sickened by this same group of morons that show up for every violent event...but not surprised. Hang them!

The end of the HST

The end of the HST

Business, Economy, Politics, Rants
Beginning this past June 13 our Provincial Government began mailing out the much ballyhooed HST referendum voting packages. I'm one of those annoying taxpayers that hates paying for an inefficient and ineffective government, especially when it's run by a group of bumbling idiots. I especially resent the fact that we're presently being subjected to the failed Vancouver Mayoral candidate, family-centric and unelected twit Christy Clark. She's doing us all a huge favour by pushing the date of this referendum forward from the fall (as 'promised' by the previous bumbling idiot) to June. Gee...thanks Christy. You're a peach. It's always nice to have a referendum within a reasonable amount of time so we don't forget our frustration and rage when the HST was initiated by Gordon Campbell. And trying to soft-soap…

Here's a bit of insight into my somewhat limited experiences as a daily deal consumer... First off, I'll admit I've never purchased a deal myself. The simple reason is I've never seen anything worth buying of real value or any services within a reasonable proximity to my home or workplace. Most are for relatively small service companies or one-off food and product…

The World’s Smartest Man?

Entertainment, Health, Observations, Of Interest, People
Baba Dez practices Sex Magic, which is various types of sexual activity used in magical, religious, ritualistic or spiritual pursuits. He may be the smartest man on the planet or the biggest wanker in the known universe. I haven't decided which applies but this guy, who could easily pass for the brother of Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers, has created his own nirvana in Arizona and makes good coin by rooting attractive, sexually confused hippie chicks. Ya gotta love the guy. We recently subscribed to Netflix and have been enjoying a number of documentaries I would never have discovered otherwise. One of those documentaries is Sex Magic, a highly amusing romp through the life of Baba Dez, a polyamorous, sacred sexual healer. He practices his brand of sexual…
