Conservative solution to bad service: break the server’s finger

By Jymn, on January 11th, 2012

You Schmuck!

Times are tough for the 1% these days. What with Occupiers, the press, even the government hounding them, the rich are getting edgy.

The poor just don’t appreciate the sacrifices they have made. But what really pisses off the rich is that the fucking poor don’t even know how . . . → Read More: Conservative solution to bad service: break the server’s finger

Shorter Jason Kenney

By ck, on December 20th, 2011

I hate everything and everybody but I sure love to spend their money. But, of course, isn’t that true of most of these Harpercons and those Rethuglicans south of the border these days? I’m only mentioning it because it seems that the speculation regarding Stevie Spiteful’s potential successor have begun. Jason Kenney happens . . . → Read More: Shorter Jason Kenney

We Don’t Have a Speaker! We Have a Stevie Spiteful Yes Man!

By ck, on December 13th, 2011

I honestly don’t know why people are so shocked about our adorable speaker, Andy Scheer. I always knew he would be a hyper-partisan speaker. Others speculated about whether or not he could be non-partisan, as well, despite the fact that the Harpercons would’ve preferred someone older.

And when push comes to shove in the . . . → Read More: We Don’t Have a Speaker! We Have a Stevie Spiteful Yes Man!

Christie Blatchy Blatchford Misses John Wayne And Other Machismo–Plus Other Bonus Tracks

By ck, on December 10th, 2011

Poor Chrissie, down time from hanging around the Shafia trial and sounding “honour killing” dog whistles is proving not to suit her too much. Her latest column in the Nasty post proves as much. I guess during down time for Chrissie, she can only write so many autobiographical columns about being a bitter . . . → Read More: Christie Blatchy Blatchford Misses John Wayne And Other Machismo–Plus Other Bonus Tracks

Conservatives: to hell with the courts. Where’s the outrage?

By Jymn, on December 9th, 2011

Conservatives and family gather in Chicago to re-enact the 'good ol' days'

With the Wheat Board fiasco roaring, the Conservatives don’t seem to care about rule of law or even ‘the normal legislative process’.

How are Canadians not being affected by this obvious abuse of law?

Aren’t the Conservatives the ‘law and . . . → Read More: Conservatives: to hell with the courts. Where’s the outrage?

Tom Flanagan: Time For Climate Change Deniers to Come Out of The Closet

By ck, on December 9th, 2011

Yep, ol’ Tom is a denier and proud of it, boys ‘n’ girls! He also wants all deniers to ‘come out of the closet’! Er, Tom, hasn’t that ship already sailed a long time ago, and haven’t they been debunked over and over again? Somewhere, Dr Jabba the Roy must be ga ga . . . → Read More: Tom Flanagan: Time For Climate Change Deniers to Come Out of The Closet

Bully Away The Gay is A-OK, According To Religious Wingnuts

By ck, on December 7th, 2011

Religious zealots like the Charles McVetys of this world are getting more certifiable by the day as they pervert religion further. Well, now some of these zealots have really outdone themselves this time around as they are opposing an anti-bullying bill tabled by the McGuinty government, as they think it’s some weird radical . . . → Read More: Bully Away The Gay is A-OK, According To Religious Wingnuts

Sue, Peter, Sue!

By Jymn, on December 7th, 2011

Oh course Peter MacKay will never sue his MP critics on his improbable use of search-and-rescue helicopters. It’s just another case of Conservative bawling over what people are saying about them.

But I do hope MacKay actually sues. It will show what a petty bunch of thin-skinned whiners Conservatives have become.

December 6, 22nd Anniversary of the Polytechnique Massacre–With Every Passing Year, We Seem To Keep Going Backward

By ck, on December 6th, 2011

Here we are again, boys ‘n’ girls, another somber December 6; another year has come and gone and it is time again to commemorate the Polytechnique Massacre when fourteen young women’s lives were lost at the hands of a deranged misogynist. For the two plus years since I’ve started Sister Sage’s Musings, I’ve . . . → Read More: December 6, 22nd Anniversary of the Polytechnique Massacre–With Every Passing Year, We Seem To Keep Going Backward

Another Lawn Order Harpercon Not Practicin’ What He a Preaches

By ck, on December 5th, 2011

Well, well, well! What have we here, boys ‘n’ girls? A Harpercon MP has bit it. Yes indeedy! Peter Goldring, MP for Edmonton-East has been arrested for drunk driving and refusing a breathalyzer! Apparently, he is has ‘voluntarily’ withdrawn from Harpercon caucus. Yeah, right! If you say so. Didn’t they originally say that Helena . . . → Read More: Another Lawn Order Harpercon Not Practicin’ What He a Preaches

Mayor Fordzilla Is Being Tormented–By a Real Newspaper

By ck, on December 2nd, 2011

Poor Mayor Boss Hogg, He just can’t take it anymore! He looks like he’s about to go a cryin’ to his big bro, Doughnut Dougy. I mean, just take a look at how pathetic he is!

Oh yeah! Since ol’ Angie Perischilli left the Toronto Star, the paper’s journos and columnists now . . . → Read More: Mayor Fordzilla Is Being Tormented–By a Real Newspaper

Shorter Harpercons: Yeah, We’re Behind Those Pesky Phone Calls, Spreading Irwin Cotler Resigning Rumours, So What?

By ck, on December 1st, 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?

“Every political party in the House identifies its voters in one way or another,” Conservative MP John Williamson said. “This is an important part of the political process.”

Hmm, perhaps, . . . → Read More: Shorter Harpercons: Yeah, We’re Behind Those Pesky Phone Calls, Spreading Irwin Cotler Resigning Rumours, So What?

Trying To Understand Politics In Quebec These Days–Part 1–Is Sovereignty Really Dead? The Potential Resurrection of Gilles Duceppe

By ck, on November 30th, 2011

I had heard nothing from the federalist media, particularly from those from the right who say nothing but sovereignty is dead in la belle province. The evidence they have? Well, some polls, which I do take with a grain of salt–the usual suspects–Leger Marketing. Sadly, that is all most Quebecers have to work . . . → Read More: Trying To Understand Politics In Quebec These Days–Part 1–Is Sovereignty Really Dead? The Potential Resurrection of Gilles Duceppe

Well, well, well! What do we have here? Occupy Best Buy? In a manner of speaking. All those campers are not there to for Occupy movement values though. No, they’re not protesting whatever poor business practices the big box store may practice. No, . . . → Read More: Tents? Pepper Spray? On Black Friday? Where’s the Public Outrage?

What Gregor Robertson’s win means to the right wing: “Vancouverites are now raising sheep and growing corn in their backyards”

By Jymn, on November 22nd, 2011

You know how right wingers love to predict the end of the world if a non-conservative is elected? Republican presidential contenders in the States are conjuring death panels, rampant socialism if not communism (or is it fascism – the right can’t seem to make up its mind), gay parents raping their . . . → Read More: What Gregor Robertson’s win means to the right wing: “Vancouverites are now raising sheep and growing corn in their backyards”

And The Harpercon Hits Just Keep On Coming! Peter Kent: Basically, If I Don’t Know What it Is, It Can’t Be Important

By ck, on November 21st, 2011

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, we have a science and technology minister in ol’ Gary Goodyear who is a creationist and doesn’t believe in evolution. Ok, not all that surprising, given the gang of Christian evangelicals in our government.

Now, it appears that our very own environment minister, Peter Kent, is actually making Rona . . . → Read More: And The Harpercon Hits Just Keep On Coming! Peter Kent: Basically, If I Don’t Know What it Is, It Can’t Be Important

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.

As Jymn said, he is definitely UC Davis’ answer to Toronto’s Officer Bubbles.

Other fun images of ol’ Lieutenant Pike can be found here.

UC Davis Chancellor Katehi’s perp walk

By Jymn, on November 20th, 2011

Dawg and others have posted this but it’s powerful enough to post once again. This is indeed powerful; Dr. Katehi walking to her car, passing by OccupyUCDavis seated in absolute silence. This is an iconic video, representing the perp and the peaceful.

UPDATE: More from someone close to the scene:

A pretty remarkable thing just happened. . . . → Read More: UC Davis Chancellor Katehi’s perp walk

Harpercons Cut Debate, Behave Like Dictators And The Biggest Story These Media Hacks Can Come up With is Pat Martin Tweeting the F-Bomb?

By ck, on November 17th, 2011

Oooh! Shiver me timbers! Pat Martin used the word “Fuck”. Wow! Not like he the first politician to use it publicly. Remember Senator Nancy Ruth’s shut the fuck up moment? And another, more forgettable moment from John the pitbull Baird? Yes, we do let them slide, don’ t we?
