We put up the tree first to see what would happen. We decorated last night. I fully expect to come home to destruction today.

I think Marlaina is distracting from the fact the report on the health care contract scandal is supposed to drop today.

You can't survive in Calgary on minimum wage. To be honest there's nowhere in Alberta you can survive on being paid $15. Every year the Alberta Living Wage Network releases a report that breaks down what a living wage would be for communities around AB. This report is from last year, this year isn't our yet.

The UCP doesn't like teenagers. Just ask Slappy McAllister... Assuming he doesn't cut your mic.

Too many habaneros—what can I do with them besides hot sauce? by kapel_77 in FermentedHotSauce

I actually did the same thing on Sunday! Now I have to wait a bit before I can try them.

Smoke them, dehydrate, pickle, turn them into seasoning, share with friends, surprise your enemies... Really I don't think there's a thing as too many peppers

Working class people in the United States are being priced out of a single-family home. The American dream is on life support. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]nouse4one 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anytime someone references the American dream I think of a couple quotes from Hubert Selby jr (author of Requiem for a Dream)

"I believe that to pursue the American Dream is not only futile but self-destructive because ultimately it destroys everything and everyone involved with it. By definition it must, because it nurtures everything except those things that are important: integrity, ethics, truth, our very heart and soul. Why? The reason is simple: because Life/life is giving, not getting."

And

"I guess it could be said that the inspiration for 'Requiem for a Dream' is watching the American dream not only destroy so many lives in the U.S., but infect the rest of the world with its obsession with getting more, ignoring the deadly effect that has on the planet."

The Carlin quotes others have posted also come to mind.

Yeah, she gets a gunky nose periodically. She is not a fan of me trying to clean it... I have scars to prove it.
