A New Expression for the English Language

New expressions for the English language: "He's Bushed it" = he's screwed it up beyond repair. "He's gonna Bush it!" = He's about to screw it up beyond repair. "Are you Bushed?" = Are you clueless? A fitting punishment for the worst president in American history. Sign in to see full entry.

The Abortion Boogyman never rests

In the opinion of this blogger, an out right ban on abortion would mean sending a message to woman that they no longer have full autonomy over their own bodies. For me, that's enough; case closed. I personally and firmly believe that we can not take away the rights of woman or anyone else with... Sign in to see full entry.

Are love and popular opinion running at the same pace?

Former player turned romantica-here, yes that's me-AKA-NorthernYankee. I adore woman and for a signifcant period of time in my life, they adored me. I think the player "thing" is a natural stage to go through, and I recommend all to try it, in a safe and responsible way. And, Im serious about the... Sign in to see full entry.

Where would we be without religion?

I have always freely admitted that I am liberal; as such, I have always been critical of “religious conservatives”, right wing religious radicals or Bin Laden types. At the same time I am however, not an indoctrinated liberal; anyone with a half-wit can understand the faults of indoctrination. I do... Sign in to see full entry.

Anti-this or Anti-that....

The other day, I was talking to a fellow from Vancouver. We happen to both be Canadians but in Tokyo at the time. Somewhere along the line during our conversation, I mention to him that I was from Ontario. He immediately told me that he hated the place, he especially hated Toronto because he said it...

Why do I feel the way I do about the USA?

I admit, when I think of the USA and when I see the star spangled banner, the words nationalistic (not patriotic), imperialistic, bully, ignorant, culturally-insensative, self-interested and just plain overrated but also, optimistic- come to mind. My American friends and family, which I do have both... Sign in to see full entry.

America....what would happen if?

Dear American blogit junkies, What would happen if American had never left the commonwealth? Would the country be worse or better off? Would the people be worse or better off? The idea may sound repugnant and blasphemous, but I, being a Canadian and proud commonwealth member, would love to know. Sign in to see full entry.

The Gay male thing......what's the big deal? I don't know, you tell me!

We all know it isn’t always easy being gay, and when I say gay; I mean, gay male. I have met a lot of gay men with mental problems, destructive tendencies, long on going depressions and neurosis. Why? In the opinion of this blogger, a lack of acceptance by society and in many cases straight out... Sign in to see full entry.

Why do Americans stand with their President?

Why is it bad in the USA to piss on George Bush? I noticed that even though this is a political collum, people seem reluctant or uninterested in any harsh criticisms of George W Bush? As an outsider, I don't understand the affinity that goes a long with a president who has had two disastrous terms... Sign in to see full entry.

George Bush is the geekiest president in American History

I admit freely that, I'm a Canadian, by admitting this out right, I'm sure that in the eyes of many Americans, my position on the Iraq war will be moot. Even so, I believe that as a citizen of the world, whom has also been affected by the reckless policies the current American administration, I have... Sign in to see full entry.
