Off The Hook?

Here I sit a good 10 days following the initial national Maple Leaf Listeriosis tainted meat scandal, a situation that continues to grow more serious with each passing day. In terms of an ever mounting tainted product list. So today I’m faced with a seemingly connected string of concerns.

First my Grandfather. Yes still. I’ve yet to hear why he fell so ill and, as of Wednesday, when I last saw him, was still not feeling right. He’s back at “home,” sure, which should be a good thing, but he’s still feeling the effects of whatever made him sick in the first place… Continue reading Off The Hook?

Self-Portrait

I’m often asked if I’m up to date on advances scientists are making on spinal cord research? Honestly I don’t know much about my injuries. Nor do I know, or have much interest in what “they” could do to “fix” me. Mostly on account of I’ve always seen my situation as something that just happened to me. A modified part of an existence that I needed to learn to deal with if I ever hoped to continue to live a productive life.

I don’t or have I ever considered myself as broken. Just altered. Of course I appear different than most blokes on the street. But no matter how hard or soft you look, everyone is different. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re better than me on account of an assumed “inability.” No matter how fair that assumption may appear to be. And by no means does that mean I’m better than you.

Up To The Task?

Apparently Exxon Mobil made $11.68 billion last quarter! And a 7% profit margin is, not only obscene, but an act that justifies punishment by taxation, if I’m to take Barack Obama’s words seriously. 

But, Mr. Obama isn’t what you’re telling people you’re going to do and what you can actually do once elected a gross “conflict of interest?” Seems to me that the change you’re suggesting isn’t even possible once the oath of office is taken. Am I wrong? Aren’t all company’s accountable to their shareholders? And providing profit is, not just the main, but the sole impetus? Continue reading Up To The Task?

I was watching American Morning again this morning. I know, I like shit television. Why not go with the best?

Anyway they cut to the douche bag live from Israel talking out his ass, yet again. Likening his shit talk to a specific presidential wannabe’s (that isn’t a compliment) views to a certain American Senator, who I believe wished he’d talked to Hitler once they invaded Poland. Or some such bullshit. I’m not at all sure of the specifics of said event(s) and believe me I’m the last person to comment on this. But CNN somehow compared his all too familiar stupidity to Barack Obama saying he’d talk to Syria and Iran once elected. Blah, blah, blah… Continue reading Prescott Sheldon Bush
