Cole's Notes - The Sunday Journalist

Thomas Sowell : "Jolting" the Economy - Townhall.com : "What we are talking about is a golden political opportunity for politicians to use the current financial crisis to fundamentally change an economy that has been successful for more than two centuries, so that politicians can henceforth micro-manage all sorts of businesses and play Robin Hood, taking from those who are not likely to vote for them and transferring part of their earnings to those who will vote for them."

From a while back - here's Faith Lee from Koko's in her VEX magazine appearance. Almost forgot to post it.

Of most importance to us Canadians on the American Thanksgiving weekend – is Grey Cup Sunday and the Grey Cup parties.  Mine is starting at 2:30 at Koko’s Sports and Bikini Bar in Calgary.  There’s a Facebook group for Koko’s – but here’s a shot of Jennifer , Jitu and Faith Lee for your Friday viewing. This shot is from Halloween this year – but I’m sure whoever’s working Sunday will have the appropriate GO STAMPS GO attire.  For the the folks in the states – happy Thanksgiving to you. Here’s a classic Turkey day promotion from WKRP in Cincinnati WKRP Turkey giveaway

Susie, the little Blue Coupe Now I know I have a new Blue car – but mine isn’t called Susie. I wonder if the Overhauling gang ever saw this? Update: got a note from YouTube This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

Strunk and White’s caution in The Elements of Style, “Do not affect a breezy manner. The breezy style is often the work of an egocentric, the person who imagines that everything that pops into his head is of general interest and that uninhibited prose creates high spirits and carries the day.” Stand up for Margaret Wente, who has run afoul of the political correctness crowd in Canada for speaking plainly about things that the PCers want to pretend don’t exist and many of them are clamouring for her to lose her job over it. Ben Moshe over at Breath of the Beast had the full story.  Click here

The e-vite has gone out – but I’m posting here for those folks who’s e-mails I’ve not been able to find. Location :  Donegal Irish Pub 1637 - 37th Street SW, Calgary, AB When :  Friday, November 28, 11:45am A little different lunch this year.  Rather than the usual Chinese Buffet - we're having an Irish style wake and reunion at Donegal Irish Pub.  More details on Donegal can be found at www.calgarysbestpubs.com . November 28 is a special day - it's ten years to the day of the announcement of the Stentor wind down - so this makes this the 10th Annual Post Stentor Christmas Lunch. Or if you count the lunches at Stentor - the 16th Annual Lunch.  Either way come along or send this invite to any Stentor Alumni you have the e-mail address for - or check out the invite at my Cole's Notes web site at http://colecoop.blogspot.com. Hope to see you there - especially if Clint comes dressed as a leprechaun.
