Good Evening, I’m Wes Mantooth and this is what’s happening in your world tonight.
On Tuesday, we were graced with the Conservative Budget plan. While there may have been tax cuts across the board, and spending like wild, I didn’t see much in the line of support for the everyday Anchorman. All I can expect out of this is roughly $1300 towards house renovations (more Mahogany?) and a little extra on each paycheque to go and spend. There will be about enough to buy a glass of scotch and a Burrito. I find it hard to call this budget an economic stimulus.
Breaking news in the Middle East of England. The 3rd time in the past year, a woman was murdered by her husband over popular social networking site, Facebook. It appears that she changed her status from married to single, and this sparked an outrage that lead to her death. Oh what a wonderful thing this whole social networking fad has turned out to be… look for Stayclassy.net on Facebook, and become a fan!
This just in: Canon is the world’s greatest camera manufacturer. And it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with their cameras. In response to Japan’s aging population and the fact that couples are having too few children, Canon called off the traditional 12-hour workday twice a week, encouraging their employees to go home early and have some Afternoon Delight.
How secure is your personal information? Probably not as secure as you would think. Recently, an MP3 player was purchased from a pawnshop in Oklahoma, with a little bit of a surprise. 60 files containing deployed soldiers personal info, mission briefings and base equipment manifests. Way to go US Department of defense, that’s bush. Bush league!
Locally, Ottawa Senators owner, “Mean Gene” Melnyk is in the news again. This time he is working all levels of government for support on his bid for an Major League Soccer (MLS) team in the nation’s Capital for 2011. While Melnyk has said he’ll front the $40 Million for the franchise, he is looking to the city for the land and stadium support. Ottawa Mayor, Larry O’Brien is now at a toss up on who to support, the bid for yet another try at a CFL franchise, or try for something new with the MLS. Let’s hope a decision on this subject can be made a little quicker than the great OC Transpo bus strike. Personally, StayClassy.net back’s Melnyk on this. He is a proven businessman that can make a professional team last. Hell, he single handedly saved the Sens from sinking one $20 beer at a time! As well, he’s a passionate owner and fully understands the value of hiring professionals and empowering the management. Eugene is cool in our books and we support his MLS movement.
Thinks to look at in the days to come….
- Ottawa’s transit problems still have no end in sight, someone must’ve taken the other out for a nice seafood diner and never called the next day.
- Ottawa for the 2012 All-Star game? HELLS YEA!!!
- In 1944 the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals merged teams for a year, they were known as the Car-Pitts. Who will win this year… my money’s on the shag!
Until next time,
Dorothy Mantooth is a Saint… A SAINT!
