YESTERDAY SAW 29 BRITONS INJURED WHEN A BOMB WENT OFF IN THE LONDON SUBWAY. FORTUNATELY, UNLIKE PREVIOUS TIMES, NO ONE WAS KILLED BUT THAT WAS DUE MORE TO GOOD FORTUNE SINCE THE BOMB ONLY PARTIALLY EXPLODED. NONETHELESS, IN ADDITION TO THE INJURED, HUNDREDS WERE SCARED OUT OF THEIR WITS AS THEY TRIED TO FLEE FROM THE UNDERGROUND.
The one big problem remains is that no one seems to know who is behind these atrocities.
That said, London's Mayor, who is Muslim, was quick to label the attack as a "Terrorist" Attack.
The British Prime Minister quickly followed by narrowing down the list of suspects calling the Attack as one committed by "Cowardly Terrorists" and US President Donald Trump, usually one not to be afraid to call a spade a shovel, pronounced the bombing as the evil doings of "A Loser Terrorist".
So now we know ...the animal(s) behind yesterday's bombing is a 'Cowardly, Loser, Terrorist'.
Indeed British Authorities are asking its citizens to be on the lookout for these self-same creeps.
But just in case the Mayor's/Prime Minister's/President's descriptions of these evil doers falls short, I ...Dear Reader...am here to help out.
I think I know who is behind all of this....why it is Al Right Nazis. If, like me, you read the papers and watch the news you will know that everything that is wrong today is due to these reprehensible skin heads.
So if I was to advise a British Citizen on who to look out for, I would tell him or her to pay special attention to those giving the Heil Hitler Salute and brandishing a Tattoo on their upper shoulder with the numbers 88.
"But Galagher we are not aware of any Terrorist Attacks that have been committed by Neo-Nazis."
Good Point.
Oh and this just in...ISIS has just taken responsibility for yesterday's Bombing.
Aren't they some sort of Islamic Extremists?
Who'd a Thunk?
As I see it....

Ottawa Has Enough Money For A New Taj Mahal-Like Main Library ...
Well Truth Be Known, Our Country Canada Has Oodles Of Money For Whatever Comes Down The Pike....We are so blessed. Even if that blessing does not extend to our Children and our Children's Children.
Since it is not like we pay our way, heck Canada and its 10 Provinces have accumulated the highest debt in our country's young history... some $1.5 Trillion Dollars or approx. $40,000 per man, woman and child.
Not bad for a Country with a population of only 35 million.
And that dear reader does not include the various pension shortfalls!
Galagher we thought today's Blog was about Ottawa's Main Library?
Oh right - I was simply setting the stage for why we in Canada continue to dig ourselves further and further into debt, and am using the construction of the Taj Mahal Library as an example of a needless expenditure. Indeed, such edifices are a relic of the last century but plans continue to build one in downtown Ottawa. The last estimate I could find was just shy of $170 Million which you and I know will exceed well over $200 Million by the time shovels break ground.
True many Baby Boomers still rely on hard-copy books but those coming after, have transferred en mass to electronic versions. But for us Baby Boomers there is still a workable Library Infrastructure in place - why Ottawa alone has well in excess of 30 Branch Libraries. They too can be expected to downsize and eventually disappear as the last of us Boomers go one to our rewards.
So why then the Taj Mahal...other than for the fact that money is never an object when it comes to government spending.
The best explanation was given by the City Councillor in charge of Libraries who readily admitted on radio that it was not needed for books anymore as they are becoming more and more passe. Rather, it was because other major cities have Taj-Mahal like edifices housing their Central Libraries. I guess that is the 'keeping up with the Jones argument'. The other reason he gave was the need for such a building to accommodate the needs of refugees and immigrants...a meeting place if you like. Silly me, I had thought that was one of the main purposes for Community Halls.
On the radio today a big discussion took place around another growing use for Libraries and that pertains to freely accessing porn...even young children are not prevented from viewing it. It used to be the neighbourhood pervert skulked around to do his nefarious deeds, now he can go to the nearest Library and work his ill as a respected patron. Unbelievable but True. And you and I are paying for it.
So in the future when you see more money spent on initiatives such as the Paris Accord or on Green Energy fiascoes, think about our spanking new but totally unneeded Central Library.
And speaking of wasting money.
On the front page of one of Canada's national newspapers today is an article about a small tribe in Southern Ontario population 368... spending $546,000 Canadian Tax Dollars on a Pow Wow. Included in the article was reference to the Chief contracting to have her son video the event in return for $190,000. Not a bad pay day even for our Governments' low standards.
But I have to think that if I was native and had to sit through a Pow Wow I'd want ample liquid refreshment close at hand too.
As I see it...
