Vancouver Papers: Cheese Eaters

The Sun is so cute today. Trying so hard to be all "newsy". There is Big Headline: "Dalai Lama Visit Angers China" (which I guess answers my question of yesterday about the Lama selling papers, clearly the Sun thinks so). There is the Main story with photo: "Bush Admits CIA has secret prisons" with the subheader "Terror suspects face war crimes trials". But then there is a cartoon rat, mouse whatever, and some cartoon cheese. I don't get this not can I see the story online. Whatever, it's ridiculous. Inside you can read the details on the Willie Pickton movie. Yes, Movie.

The Province offers a breathless account about "A Middle Eastern company spurned by the United States is about to launch a Lower Mainland shopping spree worth hundreds of millions of dollars after investing $200 million in Vancouver's port." And on the back, "The Shot is Back" with this overhyped and laughale intro: "t took months of rehab. It took agonizing setbacks. It took a discouraging battle with self-doubt.
But now Sami Salo is convinced. The shot is back." Bwhahahahaahahah. You've got to be kidding me.

24 Hours teases us with day two of it's Taser coverage. "Taser tale a surprise" is about as exciting as it sounds. But the main cover story - you know, the one with the pictures that everyone actually reads is, about cleaning up Surrey's Nicomeki River. The headline: "Making the river extra clean". Wow. Breaking News! Meanwhile the story about the Fringe Festival - sorry "Got Fringe" is the tagline? Come on you're supposed to be kind of edgy non?

Province paper has a story on the homosexual activists couple the Correns. This couple got the B.C. public schools a pro-homosexual course the students must be involved in. Personally I disagree because public schools are not for endoctrination.

Luke, you been well trained in limited thinking. Also left-wing name calling. Ever considered you, yourself just might be intollerant. Intollerants is not a minority exclusive but rather to one whom cannot tollerante others different opinions. Thus they low name call.

Luke,seemingly you'd like The Vancouverite comments to be left-political correct only. Disregarding freedom and truth. Simply get the editor here to place at the top of this Website left political-correct comments only. This way all comments will be in tow with you.{Public schools are intended for teaching students to learn how to think critically not social engineering}. This means viewing issues and topics from pro and negative also inside and outside namely analyse to get to fully understand and the truth. Truth is not to please nor hurt it just is and certaintly not political correctness.

Both of you have now left comments regarding your views of Homosexuals on posts that have nothing to do with the subject. It makes me think it's propaganda because it's so god damn repetitive.

You could have posted something about Kenny Rogers playing at the River Rock and how HOT he looks now with short hair and a face lift. That's news!
