Well…my my! What a nasty little can of worms this turned out to be. You have to be very careful when you mess around with the Holy Ghost and the Catholic mass. Isn’t it just the oldest game in history – mixing politics and religion? Take a close look at this picture – just what [...]

Ah Houston?…we have a BIG PROBLEM!

Posted in Humor, Saint John NB, Social Commentary, canada, space shuttle, womens issues on July 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Is it just me or is travel on the space shuttle loosing it’s appeal. I really believe it is time to retire those cigar tubes on steroids. With all the O rings, and broken tiles, bad foam jobs etc. I wouldn’t be caught dead riding around in that old thing. Even as the shuttle Endeavour [...]
