Reviewing this week's news


I'm trying to figure out why it is legal to own a Beretta CX4 Storm semi-automatic rifle in this country. What possible logical, legal use could a civilian have for this weapon? And just because it may be very cool and powerful to shoot one doesn't mean it should be legal.

All of our local killer's weapons were legally purchased and registered. This is nuts.

I said Condi was here to seduce Peter into sending 1,000 more Canadian troops to Afghanistan. Well, I overestimated. We're ONLY increasing our troop level by 450. Condi, you minx, you always get what you want. Excuse me, while I go throw up. Our troop levels should be going down, not up. Grrrr.

Being angry all the time is getting tiring.

There's a picture in the paper today of US troops relaxing in one of Saddam Hussein's swimming pools in one of his palaces. Why does this turn my stomach? If these facilities are to be prettied up and used at all, shouldn't they be for the Iraqi people to enjoy. Didn't they earn that right?

We don't even need a visit from Condi to do George's bidding - in the past couple of weeks we've sent off more troops to Iraq and also to Afghanistan - all announcements hidden in amongst other news - all that Steve Irwin stuff has provided a handy hiding place.....
