This will be the first in what I hope will become a series of posts: Recipes!
I was in the mood for lamb, but I wanted to make it a bit Greek. (Thus the inspiration for the name!). 
Ingredients:

Lamb Chops (4)
Potatoes (4-6 medium sized)

For the seasoning:

Oregano
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Paprika
Basil
Half a lemon (juice)
1 tbsp of Extra Virgin [...]

This is funny. A bit much, but funny.

I suppose Evil doesn’t much care what colour the person is, when it choses someone as its vehicle of mayhem and destruction. What amazes me is that people seem to care… Adolf Hitler kills his own people, we get a World War. Robert Mugabe does the same, and we politely ask him to step down [...]

The Big 3 want cash. $15 billion or so should do it. The US House of Representatives said sure. The Senate said sure, but… then they told the Big 3 to cut wages before they’d sign off on anything. The United Auto Workers Union told the Senate where it could shove its plans for wage [...]

Well, the cat is out of the bag. The BCE deal is dead… And I’m going to say - ahem - HA!
Now I know a lot of people have money invested in BCE, probably some in my own family, and that the 40% premium over the share price from the early summer would have been [...]

I can’t say I’ve ever really liked him as a politician. As an academic, he’s great. I think I’ve even cited him in some of my papers. But for some reason, Iggy and I weren’t seeing eye-to-eye on a few things.
But strangely enough, I feel compelled to give him the benefit of the doubt. I [...]

It’s too bad the Liberals don’t have anyone like this anymore:

I like Bob Rae - seems like a nice guy - but this whole unite the left thing is a bit too much for me. Michael Ignatieff… I’m not a fan. There’s something about him I can’t trust.
To be quite honest, I think Dominic LeBlanc [...]

 
Jean Charest quietly worked his way to a majority this evening. It was interesting to see that he had at one point reached a seat count in the low 70s, which would have given him a pretty decent majority, but he ended the night with 66 - a 3 seat majority. It’s slim, but it’ll [...]

Here’s the story.
A guy named Jerry Rose in Nanaimo, BC is trying to sue Microsoft, Google, Telus and the RCMP claiming they all invaded his brain and manipulated his thoughts.
In terms of damages, the guy is asking for a Ferrari, a Lamboghini, 2 Harley’s, 2 Honda dirtbikes, and a Dodge pickup.
Ummmm…. ok….
I still have JICP [...]
