Migraine Hell and Other Thoughts
The Fifth Columnist has just gone through migraine hell, spending two weeks with an almost continuous migraine. Thus blogging was sporadic over the last couple of weeks. After a visit to emergency, and a CT scan determined my brain was normal and a visit to the doctor put me on new medication, I am actually feeling quite optimistic that my migraines may now become much fewer.
Unfortunately a lot was happening and I was thinking about blogging about things but was not able to – like how pissed off Stevie must have been when Michaëlle shared the front page photo of the Ottawa Citizen with Barack, rather than him, especially as he tried so hard to hide her from the press, but she and they would have none of it.
The other thing I contemplated was other “controversial” ads that OC Transpo could ban from their buses, like:
The Earth is Not Flat, Stop Worrying You Won't Fall Off The Edge
Gravity Keeps You Down – Don't Worry If You Run Out of Crazy Glue
The Climate is Changing and it's Our Fault – Don't Worry, Do Something About It
The interesting thing that all these slogans have in common with “there’s probably no god”, is that they have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with science. It is a sad day for Canada when scientific facts become too “controversial” for the side of a bus.

If there was a god …
these ads would not be allowed on OC Transpo buses...
and these ads would.
NOTE: the Gods of Rock ads have been withdrawn, no thanks to OC Transpo or any mythical creature, but due to Virgin Radio listening to the people. Now will OC Transpo listen to reason and allow atheists the same freedom of expression they allow religionists on OC Transpo buses.
