- It's Weedless Wednesday. A part of National Non Smoking Week. Already BC has the lowest smoking rate in the country. If you still smoke, I'd like to ask you "Why?" Seriously, why would you do something like that to yourself. Pretend this is a debate, convince me that smoking is fine and dandy. You can't do it. Quit already.
Basically the nation was tossed aside by the rest of the world as it was ripped apart by genocide and violence. Is the same happening to Kenyans today?
When the municipal elections roll around in November, will you be “too busy” to vote? Will you be largely uniformed and apathetic?
Think of Zacharia and the price he has paid to fight for the right to choose.

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful stretch of days we’ve had in months.
I LOVE Vancouver this time of year. Icing sugar coats the mountains, sun streams in through the trees and your cheeks are rosy with the biting cold.
About 4 blocks from our house is Lynn Creek. It has a large off leash dog park with a beautiful 3km trail running up one side and down the other. We love to take Zizou there for walks. He checks out the puppies for the first half, and sleeps for the second.
Does anyone have a list of signs of the Apocalypse?
Is Britney back dating her paparazzo, Heath Ledger burning in hell and a stock market crash on that list?
It’s all happening. Let’s go through them back to front.
STOCKS
The stock market is taking a HUGE header this morning. Unless you’re near retirement, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you’re at least 10 years away from retiring, don’t sweat it. Just treat everything as if it’s on sale. It’s a chance to dollar cost average.
I get caught up in micromanaging my retirement portfolio, especially the 6 shares of AAPL I bought back in September for $138. I thought I was a Mad Money Man in December when it 200 and analysts were forecasting 300 for a high. “w00t!” Today, the stock is trading at under $137.
What happened? America just woke up and realized George Bush has been writing war checks his country can’t cash for the past 8 years. It has nothing to do with the turtlenecked one, and everything to do with crazy paranoia. But I’ve got 25 years left of clock punching, so I will BUY, not SELL, and look forward to the future.
HEATH in HELL
I admit it. I do not like organized religion. It may work for you, that’s great, I think a sense of spirituality is an important thing to have, but the blind trust that many put into the doctrines of religion really bothers me. Especially when those who do wave the flag of their belief in bold faced hate against others. Angry, nasty hatred.
Christopher Hitchens has a great read, God is Not Great, it deconstructs most religions for contradictory beliefs, perpetual corruption and the solitary source of all that is wrong in the world. Religion is supposed to be the great unifying force of peace, yet it is under a mandate from ‘god’ that most wars are waged.
Heath Ledger died yesterday. Allegedly of an overdose of drugs. While I may not be a fan of those who abuse drugs - I am not going to issue a press release condemning him to hell because he starred in Brokeback Mountain.
The Westboro Baptist Church issued a press release today, filled with crap like this:
WBC will picket this pervert’s funeral, in religious protest and warning. Heath Ledger is now in Hell and will begin serving his eternal sentence there. [source]
Yes, this is a rogue organization that routinely pulls these stunts, but they do it with Biblical quotes, on the letterhead of a “Church.”
BRIT BRIT
Oh, and Britney is back dating her papi, Adnan Ghalib. They broke up, he “sold” his story to ET for a series of weeklong interviews, and now they’re already back together and tearing things up.
Last night they sideswiped a motorcycle.
The end is near friends, the horesemen cometh.
