By ck, on December 13th, 2011

It’s not like it hasn’t been done since 1999, they say. Let’s see how some of them justify these latest actions, shall we?

I Can See Lieutenant Pike Doing That

By ck, on November 20th, 2011

Indeed I think that’s exactly how Georges Seurat would’ve visualized ol’ Lieutenant Pike.

Aaron Rand, You Still Think You’re Comfortable With Warrantless Online Spying? That Your Final Answer?

By ck, on November 16th, 2011

I remember when that hideous dumb on crime omnibus bill was first tabled and the noon hour “Free For All” show, starring Ric Petersen, Aaron Rand and of course, Tea-baggin’ Tommy Schnurmacher, on CJAD was discussing that very lunacy.

“Moral convictions”, Republicans and bullying

By Jymn, on November 4th, 2011

You gotta love Republicans. In Michigan, the Republican-heavy Senate has passed a new anti-bullying bill that promotes bullying by giving perpetrators the ‘moral conviction’ right to bully on behalf of their religion. In effect, bullying is AOK in Michigan if you do it and claim religious reasons.

By Jymn, on October 25th, 2011

"I say dear Kate, you may want to have that growth on your head checked out."
