March 3rd marks a day for somber remembrance. It’s a day that four young men died while in service for their country. One of them, Peter Schiemann, was a personal friend to all here at SomethingTV and that black day was one of the worst days of our lives. Peter, an RCMP officer, was a great man who loved to serve and he defended this county’s laws and its people with a quiet fierceness. He died standing up against corruption and crime and we must never forget the ultimate sacrifice he made for us. (Please refer to the RCMP Veteran’s page to get a brief background of Peter and the circumstances related to the Mayerthorpe shootings - http://www.rcmpvets.com/Honour/schiemann.htm )

Now that I have calmly paid my respects I must shout out my indignation to all those that haven’t got a clue and seem content to wallow in their ignorance. Read the rest of this entry »

Is there a silver lining to be found somewhere in this economic crisis? Darn skippy there is and it makes me smile. It’s not just normal Joe or mister millionaire exec getting the screws now the Taliban are feeling the crunch too.

It seems that the jerks that make financial donations to the Taliban and it’s affiliats have been loosing money due to the “the subprime mortgage crisis” just like everyone else and now the pinch is on. You can read all about it here. Read the rest of this entry »

The City of Oklahoma City, in the wake of being hit by a tornado, is using Twitter to disseminate information to its people. This is a great example of the practical uses that have evolved from the twitter platform. check out the screenshot below:

Gross.

Alex Rodriguez admits to the use of steroids. I’m right ticked and you wanna know why? Nothing is going to happen to the guy! Before you dismiss this as just another sports story let me set the stage a bit. This man is billed ‘the best in the game’ and is also the highest paid player in history. He has a nine year contract with the Yankees that will cost them, during this uncertain economic time no less, $250 MILLION freaking dollars. This man is a hero to countless children.

What was the Yankee’s response? “…we realize that Alex, like all of us, is a human being not immune to fault.” (found in the artice - As Rodriguez Delivers His Admission, the Yanks Offer Support) Well isn’t that nice. Makes me feel better; how about you? His team will not punish him and neither will the law (as explained in this video ). Why? because of the wonderful statute of limitations. That means that he cannot be held accountable for anything he admits from over 5 years ago; which is the exact time frame our friend admits to. Is that a real law in the states?!?
