Home…finally. There is something to be said for sleeping in your own bed with your own dogs laying on your head. Empty fridges, on the other hand, are not so fun to come home to. Puts things in perspective.

I did a recent interview with CBC Radio that appeared on The House, but there is little point in checking it out. I spoke with them for more than a half hour and it was edited down to sound bites that completely make my comments sound trite. Everything I said in support of what they used with regards to information explaining my position in an in-depth manner was edited out. Personally, I’m getting a little tired of it, and such is the reason why blogging is far better. There is no editorial oversight that is out of your control, your arguments are presented in full.

Looking back over the last few days there are a few things that I wanted to touch upon.

The first is the fact that flooding in South Asia has displaced some 20 million people. That’s 10 million people shy of the population of Canada. Oxfam has information on how you can help.

It seems that Weapon is being used on a website called Caledonia Wake Up Call, with which I have absolutely no affiliation whatsoever. In truth, I am massively offended that any of my work would be used by a website such as that without my permission, and the proper steps will be taken to ensure that it is removed.

Last, The International News recently ran a frightening story about comments made by Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo…

“Republican presidential hopeful Tom Tancredo says the best way he can think of to deter a nuclear terrorist attack on the US is to threaten to retaliate by bombing Islamic holy sites.

The Colorado congressman on Tuesday told about 30 people at a town hall meeting in the state of Iowa that he believes such a terrorist attack could be imminent and that the US needs to hurry up and think of a way to stop it.

“If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina,” Tancredo said at the Family Table restaurant.”

Yes, you read that correctly.
