Kato

Sep 27, 2004 by Mike Browne in Downers | 3 Comments

My friends Ken and Theresa Richardson in NS had to put their dog Kato to sleep. His kidneys were failing and he had cancer. Although a big scary Rottweiler he was really just a pussy cat. He even peed on Carol's foot when we were there once. Condolences to the Richardsons. It's never an easy decision to make. I watched my dad, as a vet, struggle with euthanasia a number of times. I feel sad. Bye Kato.

Federal Ban on Assault Weapons Expiring

Who said George Bush was a bad President? He's allowed the ban on assault weapons to lapse so now folks can go to their favourite gun broker in the US and get tham important hunting weapons like Tec-9s (like the Columbine killers used), UZIs and AK-47s. Great for bunnies. Also fantastic for target shooting. I hear an UZI on full auto is very accurate.

CBC News: 3 killed in shopping stampede at Saudi Ikea
Who knew people in the Arab world really wanted this crappily thrown togther and cheaply made furniture. Everyone else has it (including myself). Why shouldn't they?
