April 24 "Na, na, na, na.....NA, NA, NA, NA......" "hey, hey, hey....GOODBYE!"
Only someone as rich and arrogant as Snipes, would even THINK he could pull something of this magnitude off. Obviously, HE WAS WRONG.
To see the full-on "crazy" about the whole ordeal, read here....
"Na, na, na, na......NA, NA, NA, NA......"

April 21 Professional Begging 101.... Not much of a shock here.....
Of COURSE the police are not showing up. AND I DON'T BLAME THEM ONE BIT.
Aggressive panhanlding, is no longer just an "urban" issue. Now, there are regular "professional beggers", streching as far out as suburban Mississauga. This despite the fact, that municipalities have supposedly "cracked down" on the problem with greater legal force. Which, if this were true, we wouldn't be seeing the EXACT SAME PANHANDLERS, on the EXACT SAME STREETS, for YEARS on end.
Police can only do so much. It's not their job to engage in follow-up. Or to make sure penalities are rigoriously dispensed by the judicial system. They're busy enough rounding up the astronomical amounts of professional beggars. Littering the streets, at every bank machine, corner, freeway off ramp, and bus shelter. Often having to toss them into the drunk tank or lock-up (Depending, of course, one how intoxicated and/or aggressive they are.), while at the same time, trying to deterine exactly WHO the person in question is (Because most won't even offer up their real name.). To make matter worse, now the Ontario Coalolition Against Poverty is doing pro bono legal work for panhandlers. Keep in mind: These are the SAME people, who crucified city spending, which placed police cameras in high crime areas of Toronto. Ironically enough, many of which are ALSO prime locations for aggressive panhandling (Remember last year's murder, comitted by a group of panhandlers?). However, they have NO problem whatsoever aiding an agenda, which essentially works to circumvent public safety. In laymen's terms, they care about the health and welfare of the professional panhandler. But not that of the taxpaying public. Who actually pays for the streets and roads, on which beggers ply their trade. Cute. REAL cute.
In short: Don't blame the police. Blame the courts.

Armenian Beatdown: The Sequel.... Anyone remember this blog from last year?
Well, those wacky Armenians are at it again!
I gotta say this: In recent memory, I can't recall a group of people, more prone to picking fights and unnecessary violence, than the Armenians. Their endless claims of global persecution are really beginning to weigh on me. You have to be a fairly unstable group to beat up a man of cloth, on what is construde as the holiest geographical location on earth. And not once, but TWICE.
It's ironic, that people such as the members of the band "System Of A Down" (who are Armenian), earn the majority of their wealth, from the very people they repeatedly critize (North Americans). Yet they refuse to take responsibility, for the actions of their own people. They can argue the relevency of war, and the social injustices they perceive to be transpiring throughout the world. But it's rather hard to justify instigating riots on neutral, holy soil. And kicking the s__t out of a priest. Who's only at the temple to worship.
Prepare for history to repeat itself, this time next year. And for a whole, new slew of violence. Not to mention, alligations of global persecution.
April 18 Abortions for art's sake! Modern "art" at its best....
Several months ago, it was a Ryerson student who chose to leave a mock, explosive device on the doorsteps of The Royal Ontario Museum, as a from of "artistic creativity" (And on of all days, during an annual AIDS fundraiser. Which subsequently had to be called off, as the entire street had to be sealed off for public safety.). Now, it seems Yale, once renound as one of the highest educational institutions in the free world, has um.....how shall I put this....adopted a more "liberal" admission policy.
Self-induced abortions as "art"? BUT OF COURSE! "The entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman's body,". A Yale spokeswoman Helaine Klasky was quoted as saying. Call me cynical. But I'm of the understanding, it was more likely a cry for attention, by a rank-amature nobody "art" student.
If this is truly "art", I shudder to think of all the perviously historical "artistic endeavours" lost on us. Like the infamous "Dirty Protest" in Northern Ireland during the 1970's....
.....when inmates literally painted their cell walls in excrement (Although there were no actual designs involved. So can it still be construde as "art"? ). Or the drunken Masonite kid I witnessed many moons ago, at a coffee shop at Queen and Bathurst in Toronto. Sitting infront of a table splattered in his own vomit, while using the aforementioned barf with which to sketch pictures. Very "angst-chique", I must say.
But maybe I'm being too narrow minded, and it's just a matter of time before Curry's Art Supplies....
.....being selling paint produced right out of the human body! "Ya...Can I get 20 ounces of the "Green Wino Barf No. 5, Please? And oh yea....10 of the Hep-B, in Ebola Red as well. I need them for a painting I'm working, to raise the social conscious.".
Um...Ya.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to shove my head up my ass. I'll do this as my form of "artistic expression". Demonstrating the direction the rest of society is going.
Gh0sT April 17 TTC wants to fine you! Talk about brass kahunas....
It's ironic the TTC is so hypocritical in their mission. Considering the largest obsticle towords free-flowing traffic right now, is THEMSELVES.....
Giambrone and his cohorts want to talk about "fairness". How it's not "fair", when one car making a turn holds up a streercar of 200 people. How the police should double fines for such. Etc, etc.....
Giambrone obviously has NEVER been stuck in gridlock, during one of the many instances when one of these neolithic, TTC streetcars have blown a gasket, and stalled dead in the middle of King or Queen Street for an hour or two. Leaving a line of small, Japanese imports stretching five city blocks in length. Or, more recently, even collided (How the hell two streetcars on opposite tracks can collide, I have NO idea.). Unlike cars, these bohemiaths can't pull off to the side of the road. They must sit there, like some "beached whale", until one of their fellow "beached whales" is able to tow them back to the yard for repairs. The result: MASSIVE gridlock. A problem compounded by the svelt, antique four-lane roads on which they travel.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. If the TTC wants more people to use their serveces, they first need to get their OWN house in order. Nobody wants to ride on a vomit-covered streetcar, beside a person equally rancid. Nobody wants to be subjected to steadily-increasing fares, when the service only gets WORSE, not better. Nobody wants to be the victim of violence (See YouTube for several samples caught on camera.). And lastly, nobody wants to be held captive, because their main mode of transportation once again GOES ON STRIKE. It's bad enough David Miller and his Millerites, have done eveything in their power to make Toronto as vehicle "unfriendly" as humanly possible. We don't further need the TTC acting as his glorified henchmen as well.
Gh0sT April 14 Ontario "Handcuffs" itself.... Ontario is now SO desperate for police right now, they're recruiting overseas.....
Maybe it has something to do with THIS, long-forgotten Provincial brainchild......
Ironically enough, the problem is set to peak this year. Almost to the day the ban was reported to be ending.
This is precisely why I stopped applying to law enforcement vocations. Regardless of whether some veteran police officials repeatedly advised me to do so. I'm not a proponent of wasted time, money, and paperwork. In addition to the politics of "political correctness". I came from an era when the best PERSON suited for the job was hired. Not the right colour, sexual orientation, or gender. Just because there were multiple quotas to be filled.
It's scary to see this decision from years ago, come back to bite us in the ass. And by us, I mean the general public. And believe me: It's only going to get worse. If you thought Provincial hiring policies were discriminatory and deplorable before, watch as they now try to make up for the mass losses. You may be finding yourself subjected to a whole, new breed of ineptness and unprofessionalism (I already have been. Just a few, short years ago. The officer was officially reprimanded, as a result of my filed complaint.). The Province is banking on the slim notion, that two "wrongs" WILL make a "right".
Of course, they'll be wrong. And you'll be left holding the bag.

April 13 One step forward, two steps back...... Welcome to the war in Iraq.....
Didn't I mention just last week, Iraq was looking for a "free ride"?
Hate to say, "I told you so.".
Gh0sT April 11 Jimmy Carter to the rescue! Once again, Jimmy wants to save the world.....
I'll say this much.....
If one term as President of the Free World, and 84 years on this earth, ISN'T enough to pound the notion into your head, that some people CAN'T be reasoned nor rationalized with, then nothing will. However, it does much to prove exactly WHY Carter was a "one-hit pony" in Office. Possibly because of the detestable company he insists on keeping. Possibly because of his aura of anti-Semitism. Or possibly because of his insistance that, if was all sit around, hold hands, and sing "We Are The World", things will magically change. Hamas, and other terrorist organizations will suddenly have a change of heart, and lay down their weapons. Both life and physical boundries will be respected. Sorry. Ain't gonna happen.
But by all means....Give it the ol' "college try", Jimmy.

April 07 The Iraq quagmire continues.... If there was ever proof-positive the Iraq war has turned into one, giant cluster-fuck, today's CNN video would be it....
It's not bad enough the United States are geographically restricted in Sadr City, with a sizable portion of Sadr's population holding them in contempt. Now, they are militarily restricted as well. Relegated to "back up", while the inept Iraqi military supposedly takes the lead. But not before they take THEIR MANDATORY LUNCH BREAKS. And argues with them over who has more soldiers than whom.
Are my eyes deceiving me? Soldiers having to convince other soldiers to do their job? Soldiers apparently too afraid to take on two men, yet stupid enough to have a sit-down lunch in the middle of a gunfight? Trained chimps could do better than the Iraqi forces. They seem more hellbent on having a free ride. In addition to shifting blame and responsibility when it betters serves their purposes, than to doing anything to better their own political situation.
Get our people out of there. Let the chips fall where they may. We already did the bulk of the job years ago. If they can't stand on their own, two feet, they don't deserve to stand period.
Gh0sT April 04 Weekend Update!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo-Hoo!
We can now add Chad Kroeger, to the never-ending list of distinguished celebs that have a D.U.I. rapsheet.....
I gotta say this: It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Has anyone ever seen one of Kroeger's interviews? MAN....Does this guy absolutely LOVE himself or what! I'm shocked someone actually married him. Considering Kroeger seemed already hitched to his ego.
He's pretty lucky the D.A. didn't request someone of the more damning evidence, which would demonstrate Kroeger's...AHEM..."propensity to drink". Like the home video he made while on tour, of himself getting hammered on a commercial plane, at roughly 8 o'clock in the morning ("NAW....I don't have an drinking problem"!). I haven't seen him this "OWNED", since he lied on national television about former drummer Ryan Vikedal having reported "quit" the band. Only to have Vikedal phone in live on the air to call him a liar, and report the truth. He was actually fired without warning. Regardless, it sucks to be him. But it coild be worse. Anyone know how many cigarettes a hick-sounding vocalist is worth in the pokey? Anyone?
And speaking of the "pokey".....
What's sad, is this guy could get parole, in as little as 6 years. Should he actually live that long. And he's essentially given 5 of those women a possible death-sentence. And how ignorant of the judge to refuse to label this guy a "dangerous offender". I guess H.I.V. isn't as dangerous as a loaded gun?
And on the topic of "ignorant".....Mexico tops the list once again!
I think the only thing more laughable than a North American politician trying to save face, is a Mexican one. "Thinking", is clearly NOT Mexico's strong point. Murdering tourists, and influxing North America with illegals, IS.
And speaking of all things deplorable and "illegal"....
It's nice to see the Zimbabwean government back in the limelight. Hey Mugabe.....I have a challenge for you. Let's see you go 5 minutes WITHOUT tramping on someone's civil rights. People ask..."Why don't you give money to impoverished nations?". Simple. Because the people who need that money, NEVER see it. It goes to sponsor their dictators, and purchases weapons instead of food and medical care. Besides. Charity starts at home. If they're hellbent on killing off "whitey", they can do so on THEIR dime. Not mine.
And while on the topic of "dimes"....
DAMN! 64 MILLION? That's alot of scratch. I wonder what our OLYMPIC ATHLETES could do, with even a fraction of that money. One thing is for sure: They would no longer have to sponsor THEMSELVES....*shakes head*....Federalies....Are you embarassed YET??????
Enjoy your weekend, folks!
