Happy Birthday __No.5, the man with many names.  :hbd: What does one do in Dubai to celebrate?  (Not counting going off coast on a yacht and blowing money on blow and cheap women). :D

I was in NYC last weekend and saw 'Rock of Ages' musical on Broadway starring Dee Snider and also featuring David Cloverdale off-stage doing a short introduction for the musical. The musical features song of many 80s rock bands including Dee's own Twisted Sister, as well as Poison, Journey, Bon...

I've been reading bits and pieces about Joe Stack and his enraged suicide.  I did not know if I wanted to post anything about it or not, as I don't want this to be about the man in particular.  Rather this piece is more political for me.  I find it fascinating that the neo-conservatives, which I...

We've talked quite a lot about American health care.  Now I'd like to divert you attention to Ontario health care for the interested parties.  Ontarians pay 43-46 cents upon a tax dollar for health care.  Here is the state of it today.  I'll let you be the judge.  By the way, OHIP stands for...

This is old news, but when I read it I had to post it in Madness.  This is what happens when you've got the wet dreams of capitalism, but no idea on how it works.  Supply comes years before demand.  Try to read this article and see if you can stop yourself from laughing.  I couldn't.

I first read this story in a local paper, so I sought it out.  I found it highly interesting as I've never heard of anything like this before.  I'm sure we're all wondering what this will do with the American-Muslim relations. NEW YORK - Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four...

I was reading this and thought it was brilliant and worthy of posting.  Many American cities are experiencing economic and population declines as a post-industrial shift.  Many of these cities have trouble evolving into a service industry city.  How can this problem be solved?  Here is a great...

:hbd: Per! Hope you enjoy your special day.

I found this and thought it was hilarious.

For us KISS fans...  The new album souds like it should be a good sound.  A lit bit of classics mixed with the heavier stuff from the 80s.  None of the 'Psycho Circus' silliness which is their worst album after that disco one 'Unmasked'.

On Halloween, Oct. 31, my babe and I saw the Queen musical in Toronto.  Overall, we both enjoyed the show.  The acting was decent and the singing was very good.  My opinion on the musical definitely swayed depending on the particualar song being played.  If I liked the song, the show was great...

Apparently Chinese Democracy is coming.  Not the country's government change, but even more unexpected -- Axl's new CD.  The first studio album since 1993.  I'll believe it when I see it in stores.  Until then... Rock Hard GUNS N' ROSES - Chinese Democracy Artwork, Tracklisting Revealed Posted...

In less than a month, Megadeth is back in the studio. Now, I am currently in the studio and I will be signing a bunch of stuff for the fan club and hopefully getting the last of the "backed up fan club packages" sent out. We are also setting up the coffee club chat AND I am also almost done...

I've been noticing a large decrease in my post count, about 160 posts.  Does anyone have an idea why?

It must be good to be young, eh!  One of the few regular female members and a valued contributor to our discussions.  :hbd: Natalie. 

In the past, we've discussed a similar parenting situation where a mother caught her child drinking in his car and sold the car as a form of punishment.  She also wrote in the ad why the car is being sold to embarrass the boy and teach him a lesson. The following story is short, but interesting...
