North Korea is in Charge of World Disarmament – Part 2

Update:

This link points out that Canada is the only country to speak out on this travesty.  John Baird, Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister,  has asked the North Koreans to pass on the appointment.  In addition, he said that Canada will be reviewing it’s participation in the conference.  The ONLY country, wow.  I am proud of our country for this, and our government.  Happy Canada Day!

From the very foolish file comes this tidbit.  Believe it or not, North Korea has taken over the chairmanship of, get this, the UN Conference on Disarmament.  I have no idea where this comes from but it is on par with the United Nation’s endorsement of Iran’s proposed anti-terrorism conference in Tehran.  The world is going crazy in a hurry or am I missing something logical in here.

Now I Believe Everything They Say About UBB

Thanks Bell Canada, thanks for strengthening my disbelief at anything you have said, or will say, about UBB.  They have been fined 10 million smackeroos for misleading advertising about pricing of their services.  I assume the 10 million will be made up by an increase in my cell rates to pay for, let’s see, network upgrades, or carbon credits or some other fictitious reason.

Another cute video, this one about a Jack Russell who appears to very well trained.  Forgive me if you have seen before, (11,000,000 views), if you haven’t, then you will enjoy it.  Smart dog.

I did a post a while back called the “The Border Between Heaven and Earth”.  The same site has a post called “The Door to Hell“.  It is located in the Kara-Kum desert in Turkmenistan.  Where do people find this stuff, now I have another place on my bucket list.

Brian Burke Disses Winnipeg and Their Hockey Future

You have to admire Brian Burke‘s hockey acumen.  His work with the Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks was outstanding (the Toronto Maple Leafs, not so much, but then who cares).  His biggest issue is his mouth.  He continually shoots from the lip with no regard to how people perceive him.  Still thinks he’s with the Canucks, I guess.  At any rate, he dissed Winnipeg‘s ability to keep their hard fought new team.

My Name is “2 Calgary Men”, and We Are Fools

Read this article in the Calgary Herald.  These two gentlemen definitely qualify for the prestigious Fool Award.  The headline says it all, but I especially enjoyed the final sentence.  All at once everybody, say “Do You Think!!!”

Anthony Weiner, The End in a Nutshell

Anthony Weiner finally did the right thing.  In what sounded like a speech for re-erecting his career, he resigned.  CNN has gone nuts over this story and reported on his press conference (Weiner Roast?)  They sum up the entire sordid tale in a nutshell (aka Boxer shorts).  It appears at this point that he will spend no time in a penal institution, so no rock pounding.

All kidding aside, he is doing the right thing by quitting.  His credibility is effectively gone.

Donald Trump and Obama Agree on Something

Donald Trump‘s latest video has some further thoughts on everyone’s favourite hot dog, Anthony Weiner.  To the Donald’s amazement, he finds common ground with Barack Obama.

Listening to OK Go

I normally post for the music.  In this case, I am not a big fan of the song, but the video, wow.  A Rube Goldberg machine par excellence.
