The Economic Crisis: Let the beat go on?
All this thinking about the economic crisis has made one thing clear to me: it has definitely shattered any remaining sense of security, as financial institutions have been toppled and governments have only been able to come up with temporary solutions. However hard this crisis has been and is going to be, I don’t think… Read More The Economic Crisis: Let the beat go on?

Harry Potter versus Snape: who was bullying who?
The title of this post is an obvious attempt at grabbing your attention. If you’re reading this, it means it worked.

George Bush attacked by an Iraqi journalist’s shoes
I can understand why he would do this… But still, he shouldn’t have done what he did. Love the comment: You have to respect this man’s restraint. With nearly 1,000,000 Iraqis dead as a result of George’s war, flying shoes are practically flowers and candy.

If you are still trying to figure out what is going on in Canadian politics, look no further!

Written to Canada’s neighbours to the South, it explains, in very simple terms, what has been going on in the last couple of weeks in Canadian politics. While I do not like partisan politics (in my opinion they only create disunity and… Read More If you are still trying to figure out what is going on in Canadian politics, look no further!
