Ireland – please return MY land
Finally.
It seems the University of Saskatchewan is — bit-by-bit — returning land to the rightful owners. Descendants of Aboriginal peoples. 🙂
The Department of Native Studies was celebrating June 12th. I enjoyed a free drink (Diet Coke) and traditional food (bacon wrapped asparagus and Samosas).
I’m celebrating too.
With this precedent, I’m planning to claim 4 farms in Ireland.
All 4 of my Grandparents are from Ireland. All were wrongly displaced, forced into economic migration to the Prison Colony of southern Alberta.
Their former properties are rightfully MINE.
… I’d like to also claim my Grandparent’s descendent’s properties, some of it in Scotland. But that would be silly. Why would anyone think I’d have any rights to claim property from so long ago?
Look at this Instagram (Nickelback Parody)
I noted on Facebook that there are 90 million “selfies” on Instagram.
… None of them ME.

The best of many, many covers. It’s a meme.

on self-deportation …
I laughed out loud the first time I heard Romney mention self-deportation.
Self-deportation is an approach to dealing with illegal immigrants in the United States that involves the creation of legal structures which will make life in the US so difficult as to encourage illegal immigrants to voluntarily return to their home countries …
The 2012 Republican Party platform included self-deportation as a response to Illegal immigration to the United States. …
Later it started to make some sense.
Of many possible anti-illegal immigrant policies, I quite like self-deportation. Non violent.
Lalo Alcaraz is a Mexican-American cartoonist.
… the creator of the figure “Daniel D. Portado“, a satirical Hispanic character who in the 1994 called on Mexican immigrants to return south–“”reverse immigration” …

He was born in San Diego, by the way.
Like Gay marriage, the anti-Hispanic policies of the Republican Party are a long term losing issue.
Something like the DREAM Act is needed.
Best case scenario, the Mexican economy continues to improve faster than the American. Illegal immigrants decide to go home.

gas pump karaoke
UPDATE – this was faked for TV, I believe.
… A man who delivers a killer impromptu karaoke rendition of Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” And that’s not all — his wife then does her own spot-on performance of “Sweet Dreams” by the Eurythmics. …

When I took the Stage at Viscount Bennett High School Grad 1975, I tripped while running up the stairs to deliver my Valedictory sermon address. 😦
Happily, we didn’t have Facebook in 1975. Nobody captured that pratfall on … film.
I blamed the footwear, having borrowed my Dad’s dress shoes for the ceremony.
not only is my short-term memory horrible …
Thanks Helen.
Beefcakes, Cape Town
I Assume this establishment offers cakes of beef.
It’s a burger joint.
And tubesteaks. Almost certainly tubesteaks.
