Kansei, a robot who makes faces when he hears certain words, reacts with “fear and disgust” when he hears the word “President”. He associates that word with Bush and Bush with Iraq. Just imagine if he knew about Katrina and everything else.

Even Robots Hate Bush

Although Ryan Oakley began his career as a simple rake (drunk) he has since become Toronto’s most renowned flaneur (no car) and notorious dandy (overdresses). A misanthropic composer of psycho-geographical fictions (sci-fi), he is also a server of food, a tender of bar and a washer of dishes. While performing all these functions with efficiency and elegance (disdain and malice), he somehow finds the time to publicly criticize friends, strangers and cultural crap.

Fascinating story but a sad commentary that these will be the companions of the elderly in nursing homes. Then again,this may be a big improvement on the relatives. I still think the ice flow is the best option . That’s where my folks are going.

It is a sad commentary. Why should they get all the cool robots? Most of them can’t even set the time on their VCRs.
