awful natural disaster

The United States, who currently has no shortage of expenditures, initially pledged $15 million dollars, though that number has since been raised to $35 million for the Tsunami Relief Pledge. Interestingly, and to put things in perspective, here are some comparison figures which might interest you…

  • US Tsunami Relief Pledge - $35 Million
  • 2004 Florida Hurricane Relief - $3.17 Billion
  • Cost of Bush's 2005 Inauguration - $40 Million+
  • US per capita Tsunami Relief Pledge - $35 million/295 million = $0.12
  • Australian per capita Relief Pledge - $27.6 million/19 million = $1.45 (in US dollars)

  • They are now saying that over 100,000 people have died because of this natural disaster, this is about the same # to people who have died in Iraq. Cost of the Iraqi war so far.... $147 billion dollars.
    At least Mother Nature does it for free.

    so i tap my glass and nod my chin and wonder who you've been in rhythm with

    Another good article by Linda McQuaig explaining the reality of American Imperalism and its conquest for oil.


    china and russia will be flexing their military muscles this new year.
    In political terms this is a "Hey fuck you America, bring it on."
    Remember the good old days in the 60s, during the cold war when the world was constantly on the verge of nuclear war? You know when one man could decide the fate of mankind.....

    Well I only got to read about it, now I to can experince the same excitment my parents did!!


    i've got nothing else. i miss montreal.

    $956 billion spent annually worldwide on military items

    What would Jesus want for christmas?
    Something HUGE!!! or shiney?? maybe nothing at all?
    It is (in theory) his fucking birthday.

    Its not like you can get him a bottle of wine.

    I always thought Christians were supposed to know the answers to these kind of question.
    I guess their invisible man in the sky ain't providing all the answers.

    christmas time is a unique time

    Funny thing about christmas time is that it is a wicked combination of alot of things.
    Selflessness - Always interesting to see which people have a tendency of buying themselves more shit rather then others. I'll spend $180 on myself for shoes, and then get my family a bunch of cheap gifts for under twenty bucks. Maybe you've spent the last 3 days at the homeless shelter and you feel really good about it.
    Guilt - When people recieve gifts from others unexpectedly and then feel guilty about it, and quickly go and get something in order to give this person something in "return".
    Being back in your home town - For many it is the only time of the year when people make the treck back to their hometown to spend a few days being nostalgic, and being happy to be back home. As well as seeing old friends and lovers (either wondering how these people were ever your friends, or wondering why you don't see or talk to them enough), maybe feeling old or not as grown up as other people around you.
    Family - Being so blisfully happy to be around then and their warmth, or wondering when the fuck you will be given permision to get away from them while they generally drive you up the wall.
    Christmas Carols - Either beautifully sung by some talented carolers, or making you go insane while you try and make some extra cash for the holidays while working at the local grovery store. "If I hear jingle bell rock one more time, I'll fucking kill somebody!!!"
    Make or Break time for many relationships - For some reason around this time of year people either break up or end up in relationships... don't really know why this is.


    I'd like to write more, but company is here.. anyhow I hope christmas is happy and wonderful for all, and if it isn't... don't worry its almost over scrooge.

    Abraham Lincoln quote

    "You may deceive all the people part of the time, and part of the people all the time, but not all the people all the time."

    remember now this is a quote from "The Greatest" American President ever.
    Kennedy fixed the election versus Nixion with the assistance of the Mob. Many say he would have been the greatest president had he not got shot.... but isn't that what really makes Lincol so great.... getting shot?

    it at least helped the cause I'm sure.

    get a cloned pet for only $50,000!!

    Canadian Newspapers

    I stumbled upon this article in the Toronto Sun of all places. Its good to see our media is still willing to publish articles that are critical of western governments and are willing to try and explain the reality of the situation rather then just try and paint a pretty picture.


    This one is from the author of "its in the crude dude", a stupid book title, but a very interesting book. This one was published in the Toronto Star.

    Further evidence mounts that George Bush should not have won Ohio. What the fuck is the point of having a democraticly elected government if votes aren't counted properly! I don't care if our Prime Minister is the Anti-Christ or George Bush, as long as the people actually voted him into power. At least then it is self-induced, honest, missery. Rather then unjust, imposed, tyranny.

    merry christmas.

    Merry Christmas

    It's comming to that time of year where you are thankfull as hell that exams are over, and many a person is wondering "another year is over, what the fuck am I doing with myself?"
    The holidays always cause people to act in interesting ways. Wether it is getting back together with old lovers, breaking up with current ones, assholes behaving strangly kind and wonderful, wonderful people behaving even more wonderful then normal, or whatever, it is all great to take in. I fucking love Christmas.
    So is December 25th actually Jesus' Birthday?

    Of course not you dumb fucks! Jesus was actually born sometime in October according to most Historians. The Church in attempts to sway Pagans on to the Jesus love, turned the Pagan holiday Yule into Christmas. Yule was when they would burn a large log for several days and binge drink. Log turned into a Tree, add a dash of Christ, mix in some commercialism thanks to Coke and you have Santa, mix in consumerism and we all start buying each other expensive gifts, volia Modern Day Christmas as we know it.

    James X-mas Tips:
    1/ Getting stoned late at night and watching any of the following 3 christmas movies is always a great way to bring the family together: Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, and the Ref.

    2/ Girlfriend wants a diamond for X-mas. Solution: Give her a peice of charcol and tell her to wait a billion years. Then explain to her how the diamond trade has caused great misfortune to peoples lives in Africa, and South America. Articles in Harpers and National Geographic are good.

    3/ Buy all your gifts over the internet. Who the fuck wants to spend 15 seconds in a mall at this time of year?

    4/ Wine is best bought in cases in order to avoid long line ups at the LCBO, SAQ.

    5/ Baking cookies (shortbread, and molasis, etc...) and building gingerbread houses is a tasty and rewarding experince. Unless your shit, and everything you make is awful.

    6/ When drinking egg nog, use dark rum. Don't get drunk off of this. Someone who drinks too much egg nog is not cool.

    7/ Don't behave like an asshole. Do your best to not annoy or piss of the people around you. Let most things slide. Feeling tense, stressed, or a bit sad. Have another drink.

    Merry Christmas Everyone.

    Ahh yes some music of mine is available for download at www.grapefruitrecords.com

    Also, the cock sucker department store Ogilvy's that sells overpriced cosmetics and other designer horse shit is trying to ban the spoon player on St. Catherines.
    Fuck these assholes, and spit of there store when you walk by.

    comments WOW!

    thanks to my friend angelo, all of you bastards can now leave comments with great ease. No stupid "please login into blogger" bull shit!!! are you as excited as i am? no... well that isn't surprising. I thank the kind people at haloscan.com for providing the free service.

    Also interesting is that John Forbes Kerry (the man that recently ran for President), is cousin to Steve Forbes (owner of Forbes magazine). Steve Forbes is one of the evil fuckers that is part of the neo-conservative think tank project for the new american century.

    If you don't know what this is, please for the love of god take a look at it. Had you read this in 1997 you could have predicted the future of the world with frightening clairity.
    If you don't think the current Bush administration is scary, read this, and you will see how far these fucking nut cases want to go. If you aren't going to take a look at it and generally don't care about the well being of humanity, then I hope you get a burned down house and aids for christmas... after all, it is what you deserve.

    ooh thats a bit harsh... but Jesus gave me the OK. See God doesn't just talk to George Bush!!! But im just kidding. i really need to stop studying and get out of the house.

    Shit almost forgot. Recently got a chance to see "the world according to Bush", and my god is it good. merry christmas, i love you.

    English As a Second Language

    I got this from this months Harpers. An excellent xmas gift for all.

    From a guide intended to help foreigners, understand the idosyncrasies of British English, found by a journalist for the The Economist earlier this year on an office wall in the European Court of Justice.

    What they Say: I'm sure it's my fault
    What is understood: It is his fault.
    What They Mean: It is your fault.

    What they Say: I'll bear it in mind.
    What is understood: He will probably do it.
    What they Mean: I will do nothing about it.

    What they Say: I was a bit disappointed that...
    What is understood: It doesn't really matter.
    What they Mean: I am most upset and cross.

    What they Say: By the way/incidentally...
    What is understood: This is not important.
    What they Mean:The primary purpose of our discussion is...

    What they Say: I hear what you say.
    What is understood: He accepts my point of view.
    What they Mean: I disagree and do not want to discuss it any further.

    What they Say: Correct me if I'm wrong.
    What is understood: Tell me what you think.
    What they Mean: I know I'm right - please don't contradict me.

    What is understood: He is impressed.
    What they Mean: I don't agree, or I don't believe you.

    What they Say: You must come for dinner sometime.

    computer help for all you poor bastards

    Ok for all you poor fuckers you are all pissed off at your computers and don't know why they are so fucked up this is for you.
    Don't use programs such as spyware remover, etc... These will fuck up your system registry and they just replace other companies spyware with their own spyware. Sneaky fuckers!!!
    1st! MSCONFIG - This is how you control what programs boot up when you start up your computer. to get to it do this. go to the start ment> then run? then type in "msconfig" then enter. A menu will pop up. Go to Startup. This will have a list of programs that boot up when you start your computer. Generally you don't fucking need any of them. So uncheck all of these sluts. click ok. and restart your computer.
    it will boot up with somemenu saying "blablbablablbla" click on the box so this doesn't come up anymore. This is how you turn these programs off. HOWEVER these sneaky fuckers will turn themselves back on.

    2ND! Go through your control panel and remove all shit you don't think you need. You most likely will be like? well i dont know what the fuck to delete!! If you are the only person using your computer. Think of all the programs you run. If you aren't sure, fucking get rid of it. If you need it, changes are you can download it and install it again, or you have the discs to install it.

    In order to make sure you don't keep on getting fucking spyware USE A DIFFERENT INTERNET WEB BROWSER. IE (internet explorer) is a peice of shit. Download FIREFOX. It is the safest and 2nd most compatible with all website. I use OPERA but on some websites things don't work 100%. download all this shit at download.com

    3RD. There are tons of fucking things you can and should do. Basics are "DEFRGMENT" and "scan disc" your computer alot. I reccomend reformating your computer every 6 months. But thats just me.

    4th. You can turn off all these stupid services that windows always boots up, that you dont ever need. This is a little more complex. For other tips visit tweakxp.com

    5th. If you want a real solution! go buy a fucking MAC. PC's and Microsoft are intentionally made to be shitty as hell. This way they can build an entire industry around it. Why do you think Bill Gates is one of the richest men in the world? Good Software? Genius? Sneaky EVIL, PROFITING FUCKER!

    Merry Christmas FUCKERS.

    oh quebec and oh fuck exams

    Never got around to blogging about what I intended to, and now that exams are here, I may never.
    Anyhow I wish everyone good luck on their exams, and also a merry christmas.
    OK here we go:
    - The Bush protest was quite the experince. It was the first time I had ever been to a protest and known what was actually being protested. There were a fuck load of people there, and by fuck load roughly 15 to 20 THOUSAND people, on an interesting side note rush limbaugh (spelling) and a few other republican retards were reporting to thier audiences that there were only 185 protesters and that Canadians really have no problem with George Bush.
    - I would like to thank the Quebec Liberals for allready stating that they are opposed to the misille plan in Canada. Though they could be doing this to save their own political carrers, we will give them the benefit of the doubt.
    - And though america doesn't provide humanity with much hope, Latin America is trying to do its part.
    - Naomi Klein I still love you despite never finishing "NO LOGO".

    I should be studying, or at least killing Iraqi insurgents. Both seem pretty futile at this point. IMFUCKED4EXAMS!!!

    - and i've recently recorded some music for my annual "singing for my mother" christmas CD. Some of the b-sides will be ready for download soon....

    This post wasn't very exciting, nor interesting...... untill I ADDED THIS!

    These are propoganda leaflets that the American military was dropping over Iraq, at some point in time. This one is my favorite so far They can see EVERYTHING!!! AHHHHHH

    Also on centcom's casualty list you will notice that names are always being withheld and everything is under investigation. I'm waiting for an email response for them to explain why this is. There also seems to be a large quantity of injured mixed in with the KIA, so it makes me wonder what type of condition these people are in.

    TRANSNATIONAL BRODCASTING STUDIES - And last an interesting website that seasonally puts out a report about journalism, media, and all that jazz in the american, arab and islamic parts of the world.

    GOOD LUCK FUCKERS
