Canadian latte?

posted in economy, media, politics |

Proof that the Harper government believes in forgiveness:

Treasury Board president Tony Clement says the way the G8 legacy fund was handled “was not perfect” and he’s learned his lessons, but that he’s qualified to be in charge of the public purse.

Common sense: not a penny’s worth. Hubris: enough for all the other Canadians, with some left over. And if this is all it takes to be considered as qualified, then the bar is at an all-time low. Limbo on, Stevie and friends!

Timmie’s has decided to unleash Canadian latte on the world. Hey, how bad can it be?

Speaking of coffee, I’m into my third week with the mini-Thermos. Two cups; no more, no less. I’ve figured out how to close the silly contraption, so the daily cleansing of my desk with slightly acidic water can stop. Hasn’t lifted the paint, so that’s a positive detail. Seriously, I do miss the cameraderie around the coffee machine, but the price jump was a grain too much.

Hollywood is a-twitter with the announcement the Lindsay is going back to jail. Fifth time in four years. Mind you, her sentences would be acceptable in a Charlottetown courtroom (mandatory Island content). There really is an alternate universe for the rich and famous.

In a happier space, our planet will be missed by an asteroid on November 08 next. Or not. News at 11. Or not. Aren’t asteroids that hit populated planets a show stopper? Didn’t Hollywood do a movie some years ago with this scenario? How did it turn out?
