I was just joking around. I did read the full book for high school English, but do not recall my impression of the book. There were several high school novel which had a big impact on me. Song of Solomon, by Toni Morrison. The Old Gringo, by Carlos Fuentes. And most powerfully, George Orwell's...

In high school, I quite enjoyed the Coles Notes.

I can see a number of scenarios, alone or combined, which might bring the Liberals over 155 in 2015. - a continuing or worsening global economic situation leads centre-right voters to punish the Conservatives, and reward the Liberals. - Harper or his government is irreparably tarnished by...

A Globe and Mail article on one of the CBC journalists most often accused of political bias. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/terry-milewski-an-equal-opportunity-offender/article2082381/

Somewhere between 0 and 100%.

It is premature to write an obituary for the Liberal Party. Given the volatile nature of our electorate, the next election could see the Liberals winning anywhere from 0 to 200 seats. My forecasts at the start of the latest campaign were off by more than a Calgary weather report. Election Night...

Much of what I'm listening to is recent Top 40. Flo Rida http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgM3r8xKfGE However I presume the emphasis on this thread is sharing songs and covers you might not have heard. Buddy Holly  - Apartment tape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHQUwQiaMEU Janis Joplin...

Canadian federal politics is highly unpredictable. Who in 1988 guessed that five years later, the PCs would have 2 seats, with a separatist official opposition? How many of us in 2006 foresaw 103 seats for the NDP, and the Bloc pretty much wiped off the map? Heck, how many of us predicted that...

Genetic engineers may also provide the solutions to fulfilling our energy demands. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/12/091210162222.htm

I thought Empire Strikes Back had great dialogue. Han and Leia are pretty much my favorite screen couple of all time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSHinT0i6G4&feature=related However, the franchise went downhill starting with the Ewoks. The only thing creepier than that image is this...

That comment about fools proves that you're a real joker.

I guess great minds think alike! 2001 is by far my favorite film. The music, imagery and sets are beautiful. The science is accurate, or at the very least, realistic. The movie has a greater scope than almost any other, sweeping from Earth millions of years ago, out to the edges of time and...

Letter from prosecutors on the accuser of Strauss-Kahn http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/europe/letter-from-prosecutors-on-the-accuser-of-strauss-kahn/article2083747/ It makes for a pretty disturbing read.

No, they don't. It was meant as a pun, not a serious statement on recreation officials. However, if people are getting upset, I will remove the post.

I just want to say thank you to all the veterans here who risked their lives for "that stuff". :yellow:

No, no. Do share! :D

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/02/nyregion/new-yorkers-and-french-await-latest-dominique-strauss-kahn-legal-turn.html?_r=1&hp I always despise the media fixation with personal scandal, over political analysis. I doubt one Canadian in a 50 knew who Dominique Strauss Kahn was before his alleged...
