McCain's new campaign slogan: "Lies, lies, lies, yeeeah!"
Any American who had any notion that a McCain presidency would be any different than the Bush years should put those doubts aside. With the Bush hatchet men fully in control of his campaign (and tutoring Palin) it should come as not surprise that they're ramping up the lies....Canada's Whitfield takes silver in triathlon
Well I'm Canadian so this is going to be very biased. Simon Whitfield had an unbelievable race. He was like a prize fighter who keeps getting knocked down but refuses to throw in the towel. By my count he came back...
Preview: Olympic Men's Triathlon
I had the opportunity to get Barrie Shepley's thoughts on the men's triathlon shortly before he left for Beijing. For those of you not familiar with Barrie, he has been instrumental in developing Triathlon in Canada... Cisco invests in the future despite economic pressures
By most current metrics Cisco had a pretty good quarter -- just no what analysts had expected and as reported on CNET not what they're used to. It's encouraging to see then that rather than have to typical response to an economic downturn Cisco is responding by investing...Fannie Mae loses $2.3B in quarter as defaults rise
More bad news in the U.S. housing sector -- which is bad news for the U.S. (and other) economies. You have to wonder why Fannie Mae would respond by raising prices for borrowers. Won't this ultimately lead to more defaults? You'd think they would prefer to refinance existing...Fearless predictions: Olympic men's road race
I've been so busy at work the Olympics really snuck up on me. Tomorrow night is the first big Olympic event (at least for cycling fans) the men's Olympic road race. At 245km the distance is comparable to some of the...1254 views | 14 comments | 10 recommendations
Guilty as Ordered
This makes a nice contrast to President Bush's criticism of China's human rights record today. Maybe he should also spend a bit of time cleaning up civil rights abuses in his own country. " Now that was a real nail-biter. The court designed by the White House and its... John McCain: Presumptive Nominee or Presumptuous Nominee
Opinion: I've seen alot of opinion pieces on this site lately that are simply partisan attacks on Barack Obama. Alot of this has to do with his recent, and successful tour of Europe and the Middle East. As a Canadian I don't have a vote, but given the importance of America to... Queen's Guitarist Publishes Astrophysics Thesis
Damn you Brian May! Weren't you blessed enough to be a great musician in one of the most successful rock bands? So now on top of that you've got to be a rocket scientist as well? How about leaving something for the...Canada seeks industry, not consumer input on secret treaty
Canadians who have a any notion that we are some sort of bastion of civil rights need to stop kidding themselves. Uncer the current Harper regime, Canadians have seen the erosion of civil risghts and core democratic principles. Well we really have no one to blame but... Ricco admits to doping
Well at least he was man enough to admit he did it. Unlike athletes in baseball, football, track...... who lawyer up and admit to nothing even when they're caught red handed. " The Italian ANSA news agency has reported that cyclist Ricardo Riccò, who tested... U.S. regulators seize two more banks, engineer sale
While these two banks are small players, the fact that their are 90 institutions on the list that the FDIC examiners monitor. It would be great to have some good news one of these days. " U.S. regulators took over two banks on Friday and sold them to Mutual of Omaha Bank,...Hidden mics: Obama v Bush
Obama has been taking a bit of heat for the remarks he made while unaware it was being recorded by ABC News' Eric Kerchner (although I don't understand why). "At British Parliament today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, met with Tory Leader David Cameron.Seemingly unaware of... TdF '08 Wrap: A Tour for the old guys
Well another Tour is in the books and by most accounts it was one of the most exciting in recent memory. The race came down to the Saturday's TT and trying to figure out the the final outcome among the six contenders... 290 views | 6 comments | 17 recommendations
Opinion:Democracy is at risk when we ignore the rule of law
Since 9/11 the fight against terrorism has been one of the biggest challenges facing western democracies. Terrorists have the advantage of anonymity, mobility and a loose structure that makes it very difficult to track them down and stop new attacks. When the attacks do...
