WILMA!

RIGHT ABOUT NOW: the weather here on Halifax has taken a turn for the shits as the remnants of Hurricane Wilma motors up the North Atlantic, as my thoughts turn to my friends on the MCDVs heading down south to do some - uh... - training. (That's right. Training. Yeah. Whatever.)

Even though the former cat 3 hurricane will have been downgraded to an extra-tropical storm, the Powers That Be in the NS government isn't taking too many chances, warning people about her power and the potential damages to be caused overnight.

At least this event should lack the wallop that Juan packed a couple of years ago - knock on wood! When that sonovabiatch passed through, we in the Province bitched, coplained and rolled up our sleeves to clean up the aftermath.

No fingerpointing. No innuendo. No accusations about black people being neglected, eh Kanye? We just fixed things up a bit. Regular visits by the Tim Hortons van helped us a lot - we needed our black nectar of the Gods (or was it amber? single-malt? 151-proof?) to go on.

What I'm trying to say is this...

BRING IT ON, BITCH!

Ha ha ha!

Update (27 Oct 05) - Alright, so the storm missed us by a bit. Nothing but pissant pissy rainfall, a bit of a stiff breeze and nothing else.

And to think that I have ixnayed all my arrangements for this. BLAH! >:p

This Time, It's First Class:Rosa Parks, RIP

She started a revolution by sitting where she damn well pleased.

Hell, even OutKast immortalised her in one of their songs, even though she objected to it.

This time, Rosa is riding shotgun with the Lord to a beautiful Place. Give her respect.

BTW (16:12 ADT): I'm not implying that she was a saint, but being the squeaky wheel can still change an attitude. Read the link anyways - it puts most things into perspective.

ACLU... Where Are You?

The so-called "American Civil Liberties Union" has this unusual habit of having good intentions protecting very bad people like NAMBLA, terrorists, Islamaniacs - virtually everyone opposed to the "American Way".

Here's hoping that they never step up to the plate for this... "person" who was recently sentenced for making k-pr0n.

Officials in Raleigh, North Carolina have taken steps to insure that 43-year-old Brian Tod Schellenberger will never be able to repeat his crime.

He’s been sentenced to 100 years in jail.

What? Did they run out of chemicals for the death chamber?

This... "person" has been abusing 2 kids over a period of 15 years and has the audacity to hire someone to bump off his wife by paying him off with k-pr0n.

So in one full swoop, Schellenberger has ruined 3, maybe more lives. Too bad lynching's illegal.

CANOE -- CNEWS - World: Pittsburgh woman on trial for killing children by setting fire to dog

Something is really wrong when someone plays with fire to solve a problem.

NEXT...

42

As of 10:15 ADT, I will have attained that age.

For fans of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", 42 symbolises the "answer to life, the universe, and everything."

If this is the case, I should be more than just a worldly person.

Maybe a bit transcendental.

Maybe a little more enlightened.

Which in this case, I should be able to take over the planet in, say, 42 years. Right?

Wish me a Happy, eh?
