More About the (Ahem!) “Compassionate” Rethuglicans, Tea-baggers, & other Cons

By ck, on October 22nd, 2010

I just caught the link to the frightening video below. Many of the still images are so reminiscent of images we see in old newspapers and history books of the sights of The Great Depression. In fact, only the fact that they’re in colour and that the scenery looks somewhat modern separates the . . . → Read More: More About the (Ahem!) “Compassionate” Rethuglicans, Tea-baggers, & other Cons

The October Crisis and the Destruction of the “Canayen” Culture.

By ck, on October 18th, 2010

I’m late with everything these days. Between health issues and apartment hunting, plus struggling going back to work and just plain battle fatigue makes for that kind of recipe.

I wanted to commemorate the anniversaries of the October crisis, PM Trudeau’s invoking of the War Measure’s Act and murder of Pierre Laporte, by . . . → Read More: The October Crisis and the Destruction of the “Canayen” Culture.

Matte misses the mark

By Jymn, on October 10th, 2010

Antonia Zerbisias has a thought-provoking article today in the Star regarding the easing of prostitution laws in Canada. She points out the disparity of views among feminists. Not surprisingly, many feminists are appalled at the decision. And it’s not just because historically some feminists are actually more puritans than feminists.

Happy Birthday John Lennon, Wherever You may Be!

By ck, on October 9th, 2010

No, I’m not back to full time blogging, yet. Although, things are starting to come together, albeit slower than I would like. I am at the tail end of pneumonia, but for the first time since getting sick, took public transit, went out for coffee, and ran some errands and I’m exhausted!

I don’t get Facebook’s morality

By Jymn, on October 2nd, 2010

Facebook is full of questionable images, most recently of the Pitt Meadows rave rape (at least until authorities got on FB’s case) but it was quick to delete a page featuring women breastfeeding. I’m not sure what it is about women’s breasts that so scares people. Wasn’t the modern bra invented in the . . . → Read More: I don’t get Facebook’s morality

Gun Registry Passed; Stevie Spiteful Sets Trap Out of Spite; Opposition Don’t Step In It! Time to Move On

By ck, on September 23rd, 2010

Everywhere I’m reading from blogs, pundits; mainly the Harpercon cheerleaders; all saying that Stevie will get his majority due to this loss; he will campaign pretty much solely on scrapping the registry. They actually think he will be successful! That’s fine. I wouldn’t expect anything less. Pathetic, really. One trick pony for the . . . → Read More: Gun Registry Passed; Stevie Spiteful Sets Trap Out of Spite; Opposition Don’t Step In It! Time to Move On

What Does The Anniversary of 9/11 Mean Anymore? Seems To Be Not Much More Than a Travesty–Celebration of Hate!

By ck, on September 12th, 2010

Yeah, yeah! I blaspheme, get over it! Bring the fainting couches in at once, have the smelling salts handy. Yeah, I said it. The anniversary of 9/11 is looking more and more like a travesty to me. Sick, isn’t it? A day now devoted to paranoia and hate. Not that the U.S. . . . → Read More: What Does The Anniversary of 9/11 Mean Anymore?

Can a Tax-Payer Funded Arena Buy Jean Charest & Stevie Spiteful Love?

By ck, on September 8th, 2010

I can’t say this is surprising. I knew that Jean Charest would jump at the chance to attempt to buy himself some love again from the Quebec voters. Yesterday, he committed 180 million dollars for this project in addition to what Quebec City mayor, Regis Lebeaume has already committed. In all, 400 million . . . → Read More: Can a Tax-Payer Funded Arena Buy Jean Charest & Stevie Spiteful Love?

Well, the Reseau Liberte Quebecois, aka The Tea-bagger hit parade, the Quebecois edition, as I’ve mentioned, is having their launching luncheon at Hotel des Gouverneurs Ste-Foye in Quebec City come October 23. For those who haven’t caught the details of this extravaganza, details here.

It ain’t a political party…yet! But, when one of the six founders is, get ready…Blogging SupposiTory, the Rancid Dr. Jabba the Roy, hisself! And he’s just all ga ga giddy over it! I guess the Lucides movement was just too Progressive Conservativise-ish/not enough soCon-ish tea-baggy enough, was it? What a circus! Here’s the . . . → Read More: Quebecois Poches de The!

Could The American Tea-Bagger Hit Parade Be A Passing Fad?

By ck, on August 29th, 2010

What is is it with white conservative losers when they don’t get their way invoking Martin Luther King? We, in Canada, saw it not long ago with the bimbo, Sa-wah Palin look-a-like, Sarah Landriault when she discovered she couldn’t jump to the top of the employment ladder with no marketable skills, certificates, education . . . → Read More: Could The American Tea-Bagger Hit Parade Be A Passing Fad?

Steve Oogying and Boogying The Evil Spirits of Russian Planes Away From Canadian Air Space

By ck, on August 26th, 2010

Well, I remember how the Blogging SupposiTories were mercilessly chiding Iggy for getting down and boogying in front of the Much Music building during the Liberal Bus tour.

Now, Stevie Spiteful does it in the Arctic; some native dance. Betcha Hunter, Sandra Dee Crux and the rest of those Shrieking cheerleaders known as . . . → Read More: Steve Oogying and Boogying The Evil Spirits of Russian Planes Away From Canadian Air Space

Rogue Reggae-Bob Marley and Peter Tosh-Saturday Nite Nostalgia

By ck, on August 21st, 2010

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted an edition of nostalgia. Not really sure why, perhaps I’m getting lazy. Summer does that to one.

After what happened to Brunaud Moise earlier this week, getting banned at Laronde, a ‘family values’ Six Flags owned amusement park in Montreal, for sporting a Bob Marley t-shirt emblazoned . . . → Read More: Rogue Reggae-Bob Marley and Peter Tosh-Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Approved Viewing For Movie Night at The Harper’s After a Hard Day of Dealing With Annoying Irritants Like Canadians

By ck, on August 16th, 2010

According to one of Jane Taber’s many “Deep throats” inside Parliament Hill, her latest gossip is that Stevie spiteful thinks we’re annoying; that, and our reaction to the scrapping of the mandatory long form census is an “irritant”. Poor Stevie will have to tough it out. Many of us think Jane Taber’s columns . . . → Read More: Approved Viewing For Movie Night at The Harper’s After a Hard Day of Dealing With Annoying Irritants Like Canadians

Harpercon Junction — Another Thing For Harpercons To Blame on Quebec

By ck, on August 12th, 2010

Just came back from Montreal Simon’s post, Stephen Harper and Daddy Knows Best in response to Lawrence Martin’s latest effort regarding sweater vest Stevie and his backward puritanical wet dreams of how Canada should look in his view. I agree with Simon, this really isn’t one of Martin’s best efforts, in fact . . . → Read More: Harpercon Junction — Another Thing For Harpercons To Blame on Quebec

A Harpercon Fundraising Letter With Same Old Tired Arguments

By ck, on August 2nd, 2010

Indeed. I found this letter over at Susan Delacourt’s blog. We should be amused at this letter, the arguments are just that tired and old and seriously, just don’t reflect today’s reality and in all likelihood, shouldn’t deflect an angry base from why they’re pissed with the Harpercons-the abolition of the census.

No, Lorrie Goldstein And Other Wingnut Columnists, This Ain’t 1962 or The ‘Good Ol’ Days’ Dumb-Asses!

By ck, on July 25th, 2010

What is with that magic year 1962 when it comes to comparing crime statistics in Canada? Better still, what is with this longing for the so-called ‘good ol’ days’? I mean, with anything; be it crime rates; be it women’s issues; gay rights; immigration; etc.

Marching and Singing in the Rain and Fun With Useless Umbrellas and Killer Bubbles

Well, I’m back and I survived to tell the tale.

It Might as Well Have Been Preston Manning as Far as I’m Concerned

By ck, on July 9th, 2010

So David Johnston, a septuagenarian academic type; president of Waterloo University and former principal of McGill University is going to be our new Governor General and apparently appointed with the blessing of both the Liberals and the NDP; as if that really matters in Master Steve’s world. He would have gone and appointed . . . → Read More: It Might as Well Have Been Preston Manning as Far as I’m Concerned

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Saturday Nite Nostalgia edition, hasn’t it? And I’m a doin’ it on Wednesday to boot!
