Orange Blood II, the NDP Edition…

By Kim, on April 9th, 2012

This is about the NDP Leadership Convention 2012, and why I think that democracy has failed. I became a member of the NDP for the BCNDP Leadership race. My partner and I both joined the Party to support our MLA, John Horgan. A man of principle, who listened to the concerns of his . . . → Read More: Orange Blood II, the NDP Edition…

I Always Thought That Women’s Rights and Access to Proper Care Was a Progressive Value

By ck, on April 8th, 2012

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, due to the fact that certain bloggers who are gung ho over Stevie Wankworth’s Bill C-312 and the fact that there was some patronizing going on for anyone daring to refute them full circle, one of my favourite blogs, Dammit Janet! is no longer found at the aggragator, Progressive . . . → Read More: I Always Thought That Women’s Rights and Access to Proper Care Was a Progressive Value

Peggy Wente first goes into her commentary over Patrick Brazeau and Justin Trudeau’s boxing match last week-end and saying that Justin Trudeau would not be a good leader for the Liberals, because the west hates his dad, yadda! yadda! yadda. Yes, I’m sure Peggy would be one of the first to go ga . . . → Read More: Oh Peggy, Your Anti-Quebec Bias Is Showing!

Woody-Worthless!

By ck, on April 3rd, 2012

Boys ‘n’ girls, it seems that that abortion debate is going to be reopened, whether we want it to or not. Yikes! Even certain “progressive” bloggers seem to be taking a shine to it. This one seems to not like it when a reporter is doing his/her job when questioning ol’ Woody-Worthless. Oh, . . . → Read More: Woody-Worthless!

Right’s war on women, er girls, reaches new lows with this lovely cartoon

By Jymn, on March 16th, 2012

The closer it gets to November, the more emboldened they come. But this poster from far-right blog Protein Wisdom is OK because a woman drew it and it’s satire. Yeah right.

Remember when the right was so upset over Playboy’s admittedly sexist accounting of the top conservative women? Not so much when . . . → Read More: Right’s war on women, er girls, reaches new lows with this lovely cartoon

Almost one in 10 Albertan men say it’s OK to physically assault a woman

By Jymn, on March 13th, 2012

Words fail.

On the one hand, some of the responses are cause for optimism — for example, 56 per cent of men say they are more aware of domestic violence issues than they were five years ago, and 91 per cent say they would intervene if they knew someone in a violent relationship.

Cheney chickens out of visit to Toronto

By Jymn, on March 13th, 2012

Must be all those mandatory minimum sentences that spooked the skittish Mr. Cheney. Do the crime, do the time must be scary words to a man wanted in much of the world for crimes against humanity. Plus I doubt the recent slaughter of innocent Iraqis at the hand of a US soldier will help . . . → Read More: Cheney chickens out of visit to Toronto

Boys ‘n’ girls, remember Hunter who always wonders where the feminists are? Well, apparently, her would be crush on Rush is showing these days as she jumps on his bandwagon, agreeing with him that law student, Sandra Fluke is a “slut” for simply saying that birth control should be covered by health insurance.

What Rush hath wrought: 16-year-old harassed for being a “slut, a prostitute, a horny piece of trash that is out to sleep with every guy in school”

By Jymn, on March 5th, 2012

The fallout from Rush Limbaugh’s attack on Sandra Fluke has more far-reaching consequences than the public humiliation Fluke received at the hands of the radio star and the subsequent withdrawal of advertisers from the blowhard’s show. Caught in the headlines suddenly are the young women of America who have become the new Easy A’s of . . . → Read More: What Rush hath wrought: 16-year-old harassed for being a “slut, a prostitute, a horny piece of trash that is out to sleep with every guy in school”

By Jymn, on March 3rd, 2012

After Limbaugh called the woman refused a place at Darrell Issa’s birth control table ”slut” and “prostitute”, the media and the progressive blogosphere and even Republican presidential contenders (save Romney who just couldn’t bring himself to criticize Limbaugh – Bain Capital co-owns Limbaugh’s broadcaster) denounced Limbaugh’s remarks.

Globe & Mail dips its toes into Robogate

By Jymn, on March 1st, 2012

Globe & Mail editorial office

The Globe & Mail, that dusty old Miss Havisham of a newspaper, has been notably silent on the Robogate scandal, dancing around it like a wounded Dervish. It has yielded the floor to another Conservative publication, the National Post of all papers, to take the ball and . . . → Read More: Globe & Mail dips its toes into Robogate

By Jymn, on February 29th, 2012

"Holy shit Helena, what do I do now?" "Shut up and eat it."

You have to feel for Michael Sona. We don’t know if he’s guilty or not, much in the same way we still don’t really know the facts about Helena Guergis’ fall from Conservative grace.

L. Ian MacDonald quacks: “Even if there were robocalls, Stephen Harper won fair and square”

By Jymn, on February 29th, 2012

Old MacDonald had a wank

I, L. Jymn Parrett, almost spit a mouthful of Cazadores over my PC reading that headline from Postmedia. The lede is just as good: “Dirty tricks are nothing new in politics. Sometimes they’re even part of the fun.”

I realize that modern journalism is like reading a cereal . . . → Read More: L. Ian MacDonald quacks: “Even if there were robocalls, Stephen Harper won fair and square”

Perfect combo: Pamela Geller and Ezra Levant on Zombie Muhammad. Sharia!

By Jymn, on February 28th, 2012

I was scouring Memorandum last night and I see Atlas Shrugs blogger Pamela Geller is posting about her convo with Ezra Levant on Sun News (she calls it ‘Sun TV’). The subject is a topic I blogged about earlier: a Pennsylvania judge dismissed charges against a man for assaulting another because the victim, an atheist, . . . → Read More: Perfect combo: Pamela Geller and Ezra Levant on Zombie Muhammad.
