According to the CBC, we’re a bunch of scoundrels who try and scam consumers out of their hard earned vacation dollars. I resent that. I’ve only ever cheated one consumer out of his bank account (and his Porsche, and New…
Norwegian Cruise Line has invited me to their Summer Blockbuster opening, Pumpkins. It makes up for the snubbing I received from Cannes this year. Apparently I’m banned from the city. After the way I threw myself at Carla Bruni’s flats…
As if we don’t have enough hurdles to deal with, Pumpkins. Come winter, Americans can bar your client from flying to Mexico. Or Jamaica. Or Barbados. Or anywhere south of the States. The air above America is American and…

Blame it all on bad women, dahrlings. According to schooled Iranian clerics, loose women are the cause of their recent deadly earthquakes. Apparently God is pissed about hair peeking out from under headscarves (considered a clear sign of promiscuity)…
I remember the great plumes of sweet smoke burning hash made. I, for one, had a little trouble navigating, I can tell you that. But to burn enough of the stuff to ground most of the continent is a bit over…
