Murder and Mayhem

Summer is here, probably for a short stay.

When I opened the newspaper this morning, all I could see was murder & mayhem. Downtown Halifax, yesterday afternoon, two guys hit another on the head with an axe. Then there was the guy, with a bat and a couple of other items, headed into the hospital, th whack his 59 yr. old wife and two children. They stopped him at the door. A couple of shootings ans a couple of court trials, where murderers are set free. I don't know if the one in Florida is a murderer or not, but the one in Montreal certainly is. Stabbed his two children. Set free because he wasn't in his right mind. I wouldn't want someone not in their right mind living next to me. Oh crap, there is someone like that next door. I better get a guard cat or something.

I see the highland games are going on and I noticed from photos that men do wear something under their kilts. It reminds me of a photo I saw recently with Queen Elizabeth sitting with a regiment. The front row was sitting on chairs and it was quite visible no soldier wore anything under his kilt.

A Lot Of Bull

What's with these Spainards and their bulls? Read an article this morning,"Bulls To the Sea". Same as the Running Of The Bulls except the end is a wharf where the young idiots trick them into an attack and Plop! in they go. I don't know if bulls can swim. I'm wondering if this is a way to pre salt the meat. Something else I've wondered about is what happens to the bulls in the ring after they are done in? Is there a mass barbacue or what? Anyway, this is a lot of bull and if you are running behind , a lot of bullshit.

You never see any protestors at these events. Can't interfer with anything that's a sport. Easier to protest the killing of seals. If you protest the killing of bulls, you would piss of a lot of people. But seals. You would only upset a few people. Those that use it for their livelihood. Another thing, you never see them protesting the killing of cows. Now that would really upset the apple cart. Imagine upsetting McDonalds. Anyway, I'm sure the protestors enjoy a good burger after a hard day of protesting. Hey, in there might be a solution. Maybe we can get them hooked on seal burgers.

See that the Queen is going to New York today. I guess you could say she is going from the frying pan into the fire. I'm referring to the temperature not the residents.

Long LIve The Queen and Tony Soprono

When I saw the latest picture of the Queen today, it reminded me of Tony Soprano. No, she doesn't look like Tony, but he goes to church and hits the track in the afternoon. Wonder if she makes any bets? Like "Philip, could you trot down and put 2 pounds on Runny Nose." No. Probably not. She would have a personal bookie like Lord Hot To Trot.
But I noticed she didn't go to the Gay Parade. Well, I didn't either. Anyway the races were probably more interesting. The Gay Parade-Some of those guys are just too gross for me.

I just went to Drudge to see if there was anything new. Same page for the last three days. Since they have become well known, they have become a lot lazier. Then again, why should I care. I don't pay for it. And a lot of it is just crap.

Lady Gaga sets Facebook record. Has more than 10 million fans. I learned something from that. Ther are at least 10 million idiots in the world. Plus the ones that changed the Wonder Woman costume.

Just came back from flipping thru channels. Ran into "The View." Eight women all talking the same time. What a racket. They sounded worse than the Vuvuzelas. Probably made just as much sense.

Ranting

As you are aware, or if you are American, you are not aware, the Queen was here for a visit. To me, I don't care if she visits or not. I am not going to stand in a crowd just to look at her. That's fine for people who do that. That's their thing. They are not nutcases.

When I rant, I usually rant to myself. That's not venting, that's just getting grey. Anyway I was talking about the Queen before I interrupted myself. I was so glad the Queen arrived. Now you're wondering. I was glad because now the CBC News can switch over to something else besides the G8 & G20. That news just went on and on. Showing the same videos over and over. That guy must have smashed that window a 1000 times. Trying too hard to be like Americans. You have to remember that the Americans are a gun toting wild bunch with ten times the population. They are bound to have more eyeball glueing incidents. Maybe three a day. Here we have to settle with maybe one a week. Imagine on the edge of your seat for that. Show the news a couple of times a day. If there is nothing new, switch over to movies.

On second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea. Canadian content and all. Why did I write "and all." People always write that. I don't know what that even means. It just looks good.
