Interesting aside from the "You Ain't Seen Nuthin' Yet" post
Posted by admin / Under Magna Graecia

In the article linked on Drudge, it mentions, somewhat as an aside, the following: He joked at the second fundraiser that she graduated summa cum laude, "not just magna or laude laude, but summa cum laude."Not sure if this is a pointed comment, a gaffe, or what, but I do believe a rough translation is actually: cum laude = with honors suma cum laude = with high honors magna cum laude = with highest honors I'm open...

Magna deal would make King smile
Posted by admin / Under Magna Graecia
Canadian Autoworkers chief Buzz Hargrove lauds his no-strike agreement with car-part giant Magna International as path-breaking. "Trade unions have been abolished as being an antagonism to employers and brought into one organization, and all parts having a share in government of industry," he wrote approvingly in his diary. "This is virtually advocated in Industry and Humanity; the state appoints referees and in this way strikes are ended. I confess that what one sees here of the (National) Socialist state causes one to see many merits in the system."

Victim stance self-serving (women journalists lay beating on Liberal princess Stronach)

Victim stance self-serving Ottawa Sun September, 28, 2006 By SUSAN SHERRING Just what world is Belinda Stronach living in? Or perhaps more importantly, what world does she want to live in? The Tory-turned-Liberal MP believes it's still a man's world. That's her assessment after the member of parliament was named in divorce papers filed by former Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi's estranged wife Leanne. In a society that craves salacious gossip, the story of the alleged affair quickly became front page news this week. No surprise there. Domi's wife alleges her husband flaunted the alleged relationship with Stronach, ignoring...
