Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run”

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 12:35:21 PDT
Canadian socialist IRONY DU JOUR: CBC calls Zimbabwe’s media “state-run” This morning, the state-run, state-owned CBC Newsworld state-media employed news anchor, Suhana Meharchand, referred to Zimbabwe’s “state-run news media” and how they are accusing the political opposition of treason.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief… Ahhhhh I learned something very exciting today on My Apex website (where I log in to my Bodybugg program). It’s funny because I was actually having a conversation with my friend Shannon about this very subject on Monday night. Her trainer had taken her off Diet Cokes completely because she said that the artificial sweeteners are not able to be broken down by our bodies and therefore can lead to puffiness around our midsections. Nobody wants that… I myself d

A news junkie’s dream …. or nightmare

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:46:47 PDT
I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office.

But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

Ancient Greeks and Romans started the trend, coming to goggle at the cyclopean scale of the Pyramids and the Colossi of Thebes. At the onset of colonial times, Napoleon and the British in turn looted Egypt's treasures to fill their national museums, sparking off a trickle of Grand Tourists that, by the 1860s, had grown into a flood of travellers,
