~ Gerry Nicholls takes up the cause of the true revolutionary and savior of society -- the Entrepreneur. It is a worthy cause but as long as we continue to tell our children the story of Robin Hood as a heroic tale, capitalism will always continue to be the villain.
~ Along those lines, when big business isn't busy apologizing for their success, they are out buying the public's good will with apologetic offerings. Big mistake.
~ Rick Moran offers a wealth of analysis on the coup -- not coup -- in Honduras. Am I the only person who thinks we should just build a really tall electric fence along the southern border of the U.S. and never let anything pass again?
~ Better yet, perhaps we should just line up a team of coffee tables, to take care of any pesky revolutionary interlopers.
~ And because bashing Sarah Palin apparently never goes out of style, the intellectual giants at Vanity Fair make a pitch for honorable mention in the contest for most condescending headline..."It Came From Wasilla". I dare them to say it to her face, though...
~ Lastly...I've had a lot of friends in the world of body modification and even though I was surrounded by it, I never got the appeal. To be fair, I have had my own c-cup-size argument with Mother Nature, but it seems to me that anything that causes "over-the-top inflammation and swelling" as the purpose of the procedure is probably, in many ways, bad for you.
Happy Canada Day from your neighbors to the south!
Wow! Great picture! I may have to steal, er, borrow it just to get the blood pressure going for a few lads down here!

hell, no. Doesn't even need to be "really tall" ... just really lethal!

It's a big leap from enhancing your "cell phone holder" to the strange world of extreme body modification. Do these people have jobs and who would hire them anyhow? My daughter had to wear a wrist band to hide an itty bitty daisy tat on her wrist when working at starbucks'.
Happy Canada Day darlin', and of course Mikey too.

Actually, your Canada Day Pinup caused me an "over-the-top inflammation and swelling". But it was a good thing.

I don`t know if you have heard her or even know of her but for some reason you pinup made me think of a new (to me) jazz vocalist Sophie Milman. She is Russian Born raised in Israel moved to Canada at 16 singer.
I am a sort of jazz nut, not in the knowledge area just what I like the sound of and I sure like the sound of this young lady.
You gave me the impression you liked it a bit when you answered a comment I made about Diana Krall a while back that is why I am bringing this up today. She is worth a listen to thoes so inclined.
Hope you had a fun CANADA DAY!

Thank you Bob. I do like light, mainstream jazz so I will be sure to check her out.
