I try so hard not to wax political on my blog, but, with the news of late it's so hard not to!
For the past year Canadians have had wafting exposure to the Liberal Party's not-so-secret Sponsorship Scandal. If you haven't heard about it, essentially, it is rumoured that the Liberal Party distributed millions of dollars to friends in high places for "so-called" services that were never provided.
Now, I'm all for supporting your friends! Heck, if you can't share the wealth with those you love, what good is it? But, I'm not one for dipping into my funders (for me it's my parents, for the government it's the public) to make the rich richer... to what end?!? Greed!
Now there is a publication ban on information pertaining to the hearings. So Canadians, who were the victims here (as always, when are we NOT victimized?!) have no access to information. Okay, fine, we can deal with it, I mean, it was put in place to ensure that those involved aren't unfairly judged prior to a court decision being reached. Where theoretically, when the case goes to court then the judge and the jury won't have preconceived notions.
However, with the invent of this fancy peer to peer environment, called The Internet, where we share thoughts, ideas, and even news, Canadians now have access to details that were previously banned.
Slow down that itchy clicker finger there, Compadre! The Liberals are now royally t.o.'d! They have gone so far to explore punishing individuals who go so far as providing a link to the U.S. Based Blog, or even the name of the Minnesota based man, or even a link to anything that might link to a link. Oh man oh man oh man oh man!
So in one day, 10's of millions of Canadians are sneaking like bad little 3 year olds to a website the government can't touch because it isn't Canada and are just lapping up the details.
If you haven't already gone, Canada, you have a choice:
Take the blue pill - and go on with your life; be comfortably unaware. Heck, you'll probably go on voting for the Liberals.
or
Take the Red pill - and google yourself the truth. If for no other reason, then because... you can.

I have 5 ADORABLE baby DWARF hamsters looking for homes.
Are you a lover of miniature, soft, fluffy and cuddly creatures?
Do long whiskers, little twitching pink noses, and soft squeaks make you melt?
Do You find yourself looking at the Baby Animals Posters?
Well you might be a Dwarf Hamster-phile in waiting!
If you're in the GTA area and you want a hamster, why not send me an email, post a comment or otherwise. I would be happy to help you adopt (AT NO COST) a sweet little Dwarf Hamster for your love and affection!!!

My hamster, who I thought was a boy, had babies.
5.
So not only is he not a boy, he is not a boy 5 times over!
AND, what I thought was play fighting was really... not. And, that is all I'm going to say on that one.
In other news, I logged on to MSN today and read the following:
Bombing for Peace is like Having Sex for Virginity.
It made me giggle... because there is a seed of truth to that.

Today was a good day, a grey day, but, overall a good day.
I woke up, ate some apple pie, enjoyed some lively and lovely text messages from my boyfriend then passed out like the part time narcoleptic that I am.
When I came to I remembered an appointment that I had with a friend of mine at the Help Us Help the Children organization. We are in the throes of preparing for an upcoming Fashion Show Fundraiser at The Mod Club on April 14th.
After meeting with her, I head home to GNC to pick up the latest in dietary aids, TrimSpa.
I have tried Hydroxy Cut, Zantrex-3 and now TrimSpa. I'll be giving daily updates on my progress to answer everyone's question "DOES IT WORK!?" well, Zantrex did something, but, not a lot. Hydroxy Cut is my favorite to date, but, Look at Anna Nicole Smith, if it worked for her! It'll work for my last 13 lbs!
Look for TS -/+ ##lbs at the end of my posts.
After I purchased my TrimSpa I bought a bottle of Pepsi to celebrate my last day of junk food, fast food and fatty food! But, this isn't JUST ANY bottle of Pepsi. This bottle has odds, a 1 in 5 chances to win!!
I thought about the odds... 1 in 5 that's better than the Princess Margaret Hospital Lottery and at the $1 price tag it's an expenditure that fits perfectly in my Artistically Funded Budget!
So I bought the bottle.
I wasn't the one in 5.
And, I really didn't have that much fun playing, to tell you the truth, I feel kind of bloaty.
If you have a tendancy to purchase in excess of 100 bottles of Pepsi a year. I suggest you just buy the Ipod Mini.
Until next time!

Apparently internal issues at Blogster prevent my blog from being posted.
So I write again.
My sister is recovering well, although, relationships between in-laws have turned into that of out-laws.
There is little else to write
So until the next blog!
