I'd have said the Evangelical base wouldn't appreciate him having sex with porn stars either, but here we are

There is so much money involved. I would almost say that there is too much money involved to leave the results up to the athletes.

How much corruption is there that never gets publicized or even discovered?

But he did say something like, "after I sold my restaurants to a corporation, the chicken tastes like shit".

Not to mention the literally billions of birds that are killed every year by cats in the US.

I believe that it burns, but it doesn't explode.

I have two words for you: ice cream.

I rest my case.

They are thinking that they have made billions of dollars, so why stop now?

Yes, Quebec's health system seems to be one step below the rest of Canada. That's why it's very odd that The Pontiac has no orphan patients. And the doctors don't seem to be overworked. When I have called my GP, I can usually get an appointment within a week.

Oddly enough (because in many ways it is the red-headed stepchild of Quebec regions), everyone in the Pontiac region of Quebec, west of Gatineau/Hull, has a family doctor. We were assigned one within a month of receiving our provincial health cards.

In Sesotho, a language of Southern Africa, there are no swear words, however there are insults that (I was told) may cause someone to want to fight or even kill you.

Those insults:

  • I'm not your mother
  • You are like a cat that jumps across a ravine and scribbles up the other side

I also have RockSmith and a bass guitar. However, for 3 years I have been playing in local groups (the last year has been a community open mic where up to a dozen musicians sit around and strum together) and having a lot of fun. The thing is that these are almost all elderly people, self-taught, so they are not trying to become rock stars, just to enjoy playing music together. Playing music I have never heard before has been very good for developing my ear.

I go through periods of playing RockSmith a lot, and then not playing it at all for several months. Discovering user-created tracks that can be added as DLC has been fantastic.

Given that she, and her entire band, have been proven to use recorded tracks instead of performing live at their concerts, I don't see that this is a big departure.

Prime Minister Jean Chretien grabbed a protester and wrestled him to the ground, it has become known as "The Shawinigan Handshake".
