Short Snappers Too

This is the second installment of short snappers, one sentence and one paragraph observations on common subjects.

You have to give a lot of credit to the Ukrainian military for not retaliating to Russian provocation.  If they had retaliated, Russia would undoubtedly have used it as an excuse for all out-war against the Ukraine. 

 

Malaysian flight 370 has raised more theories than Einstein in his prime.  The only one I have not heard is that it is the beginning of the Rapture. That’s probably because most of the passengers were not Christian.

Justice Minister Peter McKay is in a snit against the small Nova Scotia town newspaper in his riding.  As a result, he has cancelled his subscription to the paper.  So much for paying attention to the goings on in your riding.

Mme. Marois, she of Parti Quebec fame, seems to be doing all she can to lose the upcoming provincial election.  In the eighteen or so months she has been in office, she has spent so much time with language issues, the ridiculous charter idea and other ideological issues that she has forgotten that one of her key responsibilities is the economic health of her province.

Since we’re talking about politics, how about the government tabling another omnibus bill, supposedly to implement their budget?  However, many of the items have nothing to do with the budget, including the provision to add “Royal” to the name of the Canadian Air Force and Canadian Navy (again).  Maybe the government would like to put forward one enormous omnibus year per year, pass it quickly with their majority, and then send everyone home.

I spent the last day and a half trying to find a switch on a computer to turn the WiFi on and off.  It turns out there is no switch.  It’s all done with soft switch commands, but it is almost impossible to find that out using their on-line help or even the computer manual (even if you can find that).

And apparently it is not over yet.  There is another one due tomorrow and again on, you guessed it, Wednesday.  So much for the west coasters complaining about the rain.

Has anyone figured out what’s secret about Victoria’s Secrets?
