The thing that most amazes me about Asher's imaginary world is how very real it is to him. In my mind, pretend-world should be able to magically shift whenever desirable. But Asher's pretend world follows very clear laws of nature. Its all very Emperor's New Clothes to me - I never am sure how to act around these invisible objects which he apparently sees quite clearly.For example, I was s

Just maybe with enough of us spreading the word about pet adoption our buddies will all have a place to call home.Down in St. Johns County Animal Control in Florida, they are saying that they are having a boom in the adoption rate with a record of one hundred and forty one animals adopted last month.

A great article in today’s Financial Post explains how Canada’s really the most fiscally conservative G20 member right now. Ironic, eh? Flaherty and Harper don’t want any more government intervention in the markets right now.

Barack Obama’s election certainly marks a transition in American politics. It is, if nothing else, a significant victory for the New Left, that post-1960’s coalition of radicals, neo-socialists, unionists, and peaceniks. They have, at least for the time being, convinced America that they really aren’t that nutty, that they can govern, and that their policies [...]

Perhaps you heard the buzz last week about a class of San Francisco first-graders who went (or shall I say, "were taken") on a field trip to City Hall to toss rose petals on their just-married lesbian teacher.

At the time, hyperinflation was causing fuel prices to skyrocket and dollar values to plummet, creating a market in which burning money was more cost effective than spending it.Photo: ksnapWhere am I going with this?
