Homeless Hockey Fans

Tickets to Nashville Predator games must cost a lot less than they do for Maple Leafs games. Apparently a $400,000 throw off from a legal settlement will get you 20,000 tickets ($20 a pop). Who the hell gives away free hockey tickets as part of a legal settlement that has absolutely nothing to do with […]

Tasers may provide the much-needed shock therapy that all potential suicides need! Not A Lawyer blog posted some thoughts on the current spin used to justify Tasers.

Speed Limits Kill

I enjoy driving on the open highway. Warm air blowing over your well tanned arm as you cruise down an open road at 125Km/h is a great feeling. Or hauling ass on a flat straight country road, down a 3 lane highway, or an urban superhighway. All in all driving with confidence at speed is […]

US Government Declares Right to Kidnap

As American as… kidnapping? Do you get apple pie along with the sack over your head? A senior lawyer from the US government testified in England that kidnapping of foreign citizens is permissible under American law, as it is sanctioned by the US Supreme Court.

Police Nab Toad Licker

Under suspicion of illegal toad licking, a Kansas City man was arrested and released on bond. Every couple of years there’s a new cane toad licking story out of Australia. I did not realize we have our very own hallucinogenic amphibian here in North America. The Colorado River Toad secretes a venom that can result […]

Feds try to shut down Liberty Dollar

So apparently someone in the USA is printing their own negotiable currency backed by gold and silver reserves. Just like in the old days when bread was a nickel and I wore an onion on my belt, because that was the style at the time.Even though there used to be hundreds, if not thousands of […]

Japanese Music from the Road

A recent article in the technology section of The Guardian describes a Japanese initiative to put musical grooves onto Japanese roads. Here in Ontario, major highways have grooves in the shoulders that make a loud noise when you drive over them, with the intent to inform the driver that they are driving off the road. […]

U.S. Government Redefines Privacy

A senior intelligence official, Donald Kerr, the US Principal Deputy Director of Intelligence wants to redefine what privacy is. Now, this is not really a huge shocker considering the ongoing wiretapping controversy, but this is definitely going a bit further. The idea that we should accept the government spying on us and trust them to […]

Torture with Cookies

With all of the fuss over Michael Mukasey’s Attorney General nomination and his stance on Waterboarding, maybe its time we all calm down and take a look at some of the more sever torture methods that need to be discussed. Like cookies. Yes, I am talking about torture with cookies. Hot ones. That burn. Two […]
