KFC makes a mockery of the UN

This probably goes down as the greatest publicity stunt I've seen a major company do in quite some time. :lol: At the same time, it paints quite a sad and seriously worrying picture of security at U.N. headquarters. UNITED NATIONS -- Red-faced United Nations officials on Monday admitted to a major ...

Re: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor discussion thread

Sounds pretty good. I've always liked Stover's work. I wish they got him to do more. I might pick it up and read my first SW novel since Dark Lord.

Re: Any other York University students?

I'm a York student at Schulich, and I'm pretty pissed off about this whole thing. The fact that CUPE refuses to go into binding arbitration with the school shows that they're full of shit. The only reason they keep turning down a 3-year deal with 9.25% pay increases is because CUPE wants a 2-year de...

Looks like Lehman is finished. My brother's an employee at the advisory service in Toronto and I helped him clean out his office last night. There's still a chance some of the subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings might be sold off, but most people at the office are looking for new jobs now.

I personally think Dion's Carbon Tax idea will torpedo Liberal chances in this election, just like how John Tory's retarded Faith-based schools idea completely sunk the Ontario PCs campaign against Dalton McGuinty last year. I cannot fathom how Dion badly will perform in the leaders debate against t...

What a complete joke of an option John Tory was for this election.

Lies, lies, and more lies. From here you can see the annual deficit or surplus going back to 1948. For one thing, Trudeau never left behind a $37B deficit as you claim. Second, the Mulroney government was never "on track" to eliminate the deficit during the 80's boom as the deficit was ac...

That's a funny one, considering that the national debt was around $160B when Trudeau left office and had gone up to $480B or so by the time Mulroney was done with the mess. Also of note, Mulroney was in power during the greatest economic upswing since the post WWII boom and he still managed to rack...

The deficit mess that the Chretien government cleaned up was actually started by the free-wheeling government of Pierre Trudeau from the 1970s and 1980s. The size of the deficit relative to GDP was actually at its largest point when Trudeau left office in 1984, something like 9% IIRC. The Mulroney g...

God, John Tory is a complete idiot. Anyone, ANYONE but John Tory would be able to defeat Dalton McGuinty and his crowd of liars and incompetents in the coming election. But instead they voted this douche as their leader. The man responsible for the 1993 Federal PC election disaster.

It's not a book, but to me Dark Empire appears to best embody the spirit of the OT and makes for a very smooth continuation from the narrative of ROTJ. It also keeps the same villains in the form of Palpatine, the Empire, and the Dark Side.
