  So, the American Senate has sweetened the pot on this bail out with more insurance on bank accounts and small business tax cuts… not to mention changing its name from “Bail-Out” to “Rescue Package”. The House of Representatives now will take, some say, until Sunday to get the votes they need to make this bill pass. If the rescue package takes more than Sunday you can guarantee markets around the world will dip and jog like the heart rate of all those watching the interest and in most causes, the principle on their retirement saving disappear.

  Don’t Move! You only loose if you back away from the table. In fact go for a second helping of potato’s, order the steak and enjoy the down word spiral. Will Canada face an “Economic Armageddon” like the USA?

  I can’t believe when I hear Canadians say they are not going to vote. I was raised in a family that passionately coveted their right to vote. It’s the only thing that separates us from the evils of dictatorship and the grips of fascism, the right to elect representation. Yet for the first time in my life I am torn.

   To all those who were exposed to such an act of violence, you will be in my thoughts and prayers.  The terror the students and families of Luther College must have felt yesterday as the hostage situation unfolded would be incomprehensible…. But let no “Pinko Lefty” start to exploit this issue by saying what happened had anything to do with gun control. If an over-the-counter pellet gun was the worst weapon this deranged young man could get his hands on… then our gun laws are working.

  Last night when Sylar had Claire’s (the cheerleader) head ripped off and was sticking his finger in her brain I could empathize with the characters pain. I have watched every episode of “Heroes”, but because of the confusion of the writers strike last year missed the last two episodes.

  Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni won a narrow victory Thursday for the Kadima Party's leadership, positioning herself to become the country's first female leader in more than three decades. Now, I know a little bit about the world but who the hell is this woman. Reading her bio., it sounds like she was a ‘Nikita’ style terrorist hunter for Mossad untill she quit to raise a family… Hum, a Hebrew Sarah Palin that speaks 3 langages and can dissinbowl you with her glance.

As the value of Petrol stays 20-30 cents higher than market value I will take measures and implore the brave to join me in discovering alternative energy sources. I will build a steam truck…

  According to all accounts over the weekend, we paid up to 30 cents a liter in profit to the oil companies as opposed to the usual 2-3 cents above market value. Someone’s getting rich off of speculation and gouging… We have 3 options:
  1. We as a people unite against the high price of gas and boycott gas stations until, out of lack of profit, changes are made.
