They’ll be arrested for smoking pot, but experimenting with ecstasy’s okay.
Sometimes, the department of national defense really screws with my head. I think they do it on purpose. Soldiers suffering from PTSD won’t be prescribed marijuana, which the folks on the pro-legalisation and/or decriminalisation side of the issue say can and does help with situations like that among other things. … Read the rest

English must not be Sarah Palin’s first language.
She does a semi-decent job at pretending, though. Or is that just royally butchering? According to the former U.S. vice-presidential candidate, her newly created word – ‘refudiate’ – is her contribution to the “living language.” Please forgive me for not considering sending any future children to the Sarah Palin … Read the rest

Where’s Jeff Foxworthy when you need him?
Only in Quebec. A guy ends up with a property tax bill upwards of 200000 dollars. He’s not exactly enthused with the rate of increases to his taxes, and decides to make a point of telling the folks down at city hall exactly that by showing up, one assumes on … Read the rest

And once again, a restaurant gets threatened because the parents don’t want to say no.
Parents, when a restaurant pushes out commercials advertising x toy with y meal, and you don’t want your kid(s) anywhere near that restaurant whether they’re giving out that specific toy or $150, do you: 1.

And they want me to vote for this?
Canada’s parliament. Also known as that place where the country’s future–and sometimes present–are decided almost overnight. Sometimes. Or, rather, that place that inevitably takes me back to my highschool days. Really, now. this? In Ottawa? Really? The remainder of question period was notable mostly for the insults. “Sit down, you … Read the rest

Patriotism only counts if it’s US patriotism.
A couple Canadian residents living in the US, upon Canada’s winning of the gold metal against the US during the olympics, took it upon themselves to replace a US flag with a Canadian one in response to a bet they’d entered into in a bar. In response to that, they … Read the rest

Now there’s a model parent if ever I saw one.
Suddenly, all the bad parenting stories I’ve heard in my life–yes, including the one about the kid smoking 2 packs a day–don’t seem quite so bad as this. Mom physically abuses her two-year-old, gives him crack for 14 months, nearly kills him, and winds up with 8 years in … Read the rest

Woman’s failure to use her brain lands her in a legal fight with… Google?
Why you would go walking along an interstate highway at 6:00 in the morning is anyone’s guess. Why you would do it in an area you’ve never been? That’s a leap of logic I don’t feel safe making. Yet, that’s what lead to an LA woman being hit by a … Read the rest

Note to potential landlords. My age has nothing to do with giving you money.
I’ve been trying to find halfway decent ways to save me some money–cutting back on things where possible, changing companies if another company offers me a price significantly lower than what I’m paying now, and most recently, looking for possible places to call my temporary residence that end up being … Read the rest

Someone kindly enroll this kid’s father in parenting classes.
I’ve met some bad–naye, horrible–parents in my 26 years. granted, I’ve med some even worse kids, too, but still. Nothing has quite come close to this. “I’m not worried about his health, he looks healthy”‘ shrugged the boy’s father Mohammad Rizal. “He cries and throws tantrums when we don’t … Read the rest
