Kinky judge sex. Imagine!
We have had a titillating judicial scandal here in Canada in Winnipeg. A lawyer and her husband, also a lawyer, seem to have had a proclivity for kinky sex. He sent some pictures of her inbondage and performing oral sex to a web site dedicated to inter racial sex. He wanted to watch her have […]
Be careful what we wish for
The Miramichi Airport Commission has received federal and provincial government money (actually taxpayers’ money, our own money) to pursue economic development. Some of that money will be used to hire a development officer. At, or near, the top of the commission’s wish list is a flying school. Perhaps we should be careful what we wish […]
What is Smart showcase Miramichi?

No sex in the war zone – Good luck with that!
Canadian Brigadier-General Daniel Ménard, commander of Joint Task Force Afghanistan has been relieved of his command and faces possible court martial. He is alleged to have had a sexual relationship with a female member of military personnel. The situation evokes a discussion of a Cadogan’s Law: There are only two things going on in the […]
The Pope and Tiger Woods
The Roman Catholic Church is proving the truth of Lord Acton’s claim that power corrupts and absolutel power corrupts absolutely. Obviously hundreds, perhaps thousands, of members of the church hierarchy were aware of claims by alleged victims of abuse. Many abused their power by what they did or did not do about those claims within […]
US health care best for kings
Some of the things I see or hear in the news make me wonder about some people’s thought processes. For example, recently a Florida newscaster breathlessly announced that Florida had 28% of the national bicycle fatalities last year although it has only 6% of the national population. Well, duh! Florida does not have snow, is […]
Tokers over the line
My late father was, and is, my hero. One of the characteristics that endeared him to me was his marvellous grasp of the obvious. One example was his oft-repeated statement that “It is better to be rich and healthy than poor and sick”. David Foot, is the author of “Boom, Bust And Echo,” a book […]
Three sources of fulfillment
One of the most together women I know, Diana McAskill, regularly posts ideas with a Buddhist theme on Facebook. A lifetime of observation from the vantage point of a community newspaper led me to conclude that the happiest people I met were the ones who were involved in doing something for others and who were […]
Release you into the wild?
Recently a killer whale with a Canadian passport killed a trainer at Sea World in Florida. It seems likely the whale mistook the trainer’s ponytail for a toy. There were also signs the whale was also in turmoil so who knows? In Florida, one sees signs near any pond, bayou or swamp that read, “Do […]
Why won’t Women learn?
Why do women miss so many easy opportunities to learn from male experience? Lori Gottlieb wrote an “Atlantic” magazine article a couple of years ago titled, “Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough”. According to an update she did last month, the gist of it was that women should look for the […]
