Tuesday evening musings

Here's what I think is funny - I have facebook friends from all over - Brazil, Ireland, U.S. and Canada and today many of them posted the link to this


youtube video of the Muppets doing Bohemian Rhapsody - there must be a link but I wonder what it is. . . It must have been posted somewhere ele, or maybe it is just a high scorer on youtube?

On another bizarre front - from CTV comes this story of a deer in donwtown Toronto that was tasered to capture and reloacte it. See the story here.




And one last thing that had me amused today was this story from the NY Times. . .

Making War on Women

Read this story from the Toronto Star! Click on title below pic.


Liberation was just a big lie .

I did not see her when she was here in Halifax (had a class, and they are booked 6-9 months in advance - so no way to change) .

Hope someone gives me her book for Christmas.

She wants all the troops out of Afghanistan . She says in the article:
Yes, she says, there is a risk of civil war, as happened when the Soviet Union gave up the fight against U.S.-backed Afghan Islamists 20 years ago. But it would still be better than "night raids, torture and aerial bombardment" that killed hundreds of Afghan civilians while the Taliban made steady gains.

"Liberation was just a big lie." Joya believes Afghans are now better prepared to battle the Taliban alone – if the warlords are disarmed, and the international community helps build a society that can push back against extremism.

I so want Canada to be working for peace, again, and not engaging in war. It was why Remembrance Day troubled me so much this year.

Have a nice day.
