OH, LOVELY!
MC donalds recalls Toxic Shrek glassware
Interesting reponse by Alice Terpstr inthe toronto Star:-
"...So why is our drinking ter being dosed, as per Health Canada's firm recomendation, with flouridation chemicals that contain it? Cadmium, lead and arsenic are allowable contaminants of the phosphate fertiliser factory scrubber waste promoted as magic tooth madicne in tap water.
I smell a credibiity gap."

Glad I missed this spout of asshattery
Apparently, Ann Coulter was touring Canada on speaking engagements, and the one in the nation's capital got shut down...
While real-life things were preoccupying my time, I'm not sorry that passed my radar.
I'll just link ya to another blogger; that's says enough for where my cynicism meter goes.
I mean, really...
Things that make you go "hmmm..." Over at Runesmith, comments section:- "Why doesn't everyone simply ignore this hag instead of giving her the very thing she (and Levant) wants - the publicity of controversy. AC has fallen on tough times. According to the CBC's Neil MacDonald, she can barely command a $10,000 appearance fee which, in the US, is chump change. That's how Levant was able to get her to come up here at all."
"Cheap price tag for revitalising one's brand."

Burger King commercial capitalized "on some of those most negative stereotypes of people with mental illnesses"
Burger King has sparked the ire of mental health advocates with a commercial depicting its King mascot as "crazy."
The behavior exhibited by the "crazy" King in the commercial "would be rare and those kinds of stereotypes perpetuate discrimination against people with mental illnesses and stimulate fears," Shern said.

the kinda sh*t that leaves a bad taste in your mouth
But really, in this day and age, is one really surprised...?
(I'm not.)
"Publicly, he has served as Blackwater’s C.E.O. and chairman... Privately, and secretly, he has been doing the C.I.A.’s bidding... Prince, according to sources with knowledge of his activities, has been working as a C.I.A. asset: in a word, as a spy."
Yuck.
This is what they're ADMITTING to. Imagine what they're not...

Support for Gaetan
Come Out To Support Gaetan In His Refusal To Leave The Downtown East!
DATE: Monday, December 7th, 2009
TIME: 9 a.m.
PLACE: Street Health
338 Dundas Street East
(just east of Sherbourne, on Dundas St., north side)
"Please join us in supporting Gaetan Heroux, a deeply respected,
much-loved, and invaluable mentor, leader, and friend in the struggle for dignity and justice for homeless and poor people, who has been a front-line worker at Dundas and Sherbourne for the past 20 years. Gaetan has provided ID clinics and drop-in services, and fostered deep relationships with community members, for years - all of this is now in jeopardy.
By moving Gaetan, his employer, Neighbourhood Link, in apparent
cooperation with Street Health management, will effectively deny people access to a service that is essential to their lives. What will happen to people who need to access their ID outside of clinic hours? What will happen to people who cannot afford or are literally unable to travel to Scarborough? What will happen to people who urgently need their ID, to access social assistance or PNA, who need to be within walking distance of the PAID Project in order to meet their basic needs? Will people be provided with the transit fares they cannot afford, in order to travel to Scarborough? What about the additional essential support people have gained by accessing Street Health for other services, when they have come to the agency to access Gaetan?
...Since March 2009, Street Health has lost over 50 years
(at least 12 staff members) of experience and connection with the
community it serves."
