Postmedia: Don’t cry for us, Canada. We publish creeps like Michael Den Tandt.

Jymn — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:01:34 +0000

I tried to force a tear for Postmedia’s Ottawa bureau cuts but I just can’t bring myself to feel anything for the Conservative media outlet but reserved scorn. Like the Globe & Mail’s consideration of using a paywall, Postmedia is searching in vain for answers to the boogeyman in the room, social media, . . . → Read More: Postmedia: Don’t cry for us, Canada.

How Many More Gaffs Can ol’ Petey MacKay Afford?

ck — Fri, 11 May 2012 02:09:28 +0000

It seems to be as many as he likes. It don’t look like Stevie’s assigned babysitter, ol’ Robocop Fantino, is doin’ a good job neither. Now Petey MacKay and his military buddies have a way with manual covers.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay has apologized after a photo of convicted murderer Russell Williams appeared . . . → Read More: How Many More Gaffs Can ol’ Petey MacKay Afford?

Fox News contributor: “One of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote.”

Jymn — Tue, 08 May 2012 17:27:26 +0000

Nothing for me to add. Digby says it all: “I like it when conservatives say what they really believe.”

Oh look, this dickhead just happens to be a pastor. Fancy that.

“We should’ve never turned this over to women. And these women are voting in the wrong people. They’re voting in people who are evil . . . → Read More: Fox News contributor: “One of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote.”

Speaker Andy Scheer To The Rescue! AGAIN!!

ck — Tue, 08 May 2012 01:13:29 +0000

Opposition parties, when will you learn that Andy is not your typical speaker of the House of Commons? He only serves one master and that is Stevie Spiteful, and by extension, Stevie’s merry band of obedient lost sheep. Find another way around him! Boys ‘n’ girls, why are we paying Andy, again?

Greeks & French Throw the Bums Out!

ck — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:56:54 +0000

More to the point, boys ‘n’ girls, Greeks and French, as well as other Europeans have basically rejected austerity imposed by the Eurozone. They have started to see what economists like Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz have known all along: austerity just doesn’t work. After all this time, where is that confidence fairy? . . . → Read More: Greeks & French Throw the Bums Out!

Another Step Toward the Death of Asbestos

Boys ‘n’ girls, good news! That pro-asbestos lobby group, the Chrysotile Institute is shutting its’ doors! Now, a word from Pat Martin, an anti-asbestos activist:

NDP MP Pat Martin — a longtime critic of the asbestos industry and former miner himself — said the closing of the institute signals the “death knell” of . . . → Read More: Another Step Toward the Death of Asbestos

What the Hell is “Adopt a Pro-Abort”?

ck — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 00:13:30 +0000

Is this something like “pray away the gay campaigns”? It certainly seems that way.

…identify one pro-abort individual in your circle of interest (family member, acquaintance, co-worker, blogger, etc.) and commit to remembering that person in your prayer time and earnestly ask Our Lady for their conversion to the pro-life cause.

There you have it, . . . → Read More: What the Hell is “Adopt a Pro-Abort”?

Canada’s journos name Harper Conservatives “most secretive”.

Jymn — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 16:28:35 +0000

"No Max, that's the CODE of Silence. We're still cool."

You can bet the right wingers will be whining about the ‘liberal media’ again. The Canadian Association of Journalists has awarded the Conservative government with the Code of Silence Award, given to the most secretive government or public-funded agency.

The federal government was . . . → Read More: Canada’s journos name Harper Conservatives “most secretive”.

Does Jean Charest Really Think Students Can’t Count or Calculate?

ck — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:55:44 +0000

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, it seems that our Premier Johnny-Boy and his education lap dog, Line Beauchamp, either really think that students don’t know how to do math, or this was a more elaborate scheme, counting on right wingnutz who have been condemning them “lazy”, “self-entitled”, “selfish” brats not being . . . → Read More: Does Jean Charest Really Think Students Can’t Count or Calculate?

Harper’s war on women marches on. Part deux.

No matter upon which side of the fence you sit, if you're a woman in Harper's Canada, you're fucked

Sex and pot: the evil duo targeted by the Conservatives due exclusively to evangelical ideology. Caught in the Conservative path to achieving its cock blocking referendum on pleasure, women have become an inconvenient impediment to . . . → Read More: Harper’s war on women marches on. Part deux.

Harper’s war on women marches on

Jymn — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:12:55 +0000

Actually, it’s the Conservative war on the poor, science, pleasure seekers, the arts, common sense, atheists, liberals, the environment, CBC, progressives but mostly against women.

Six federally funded organizations devoted to research and communication in women’s health learned this week that their funding will end March 31, 2013.

The Cure (for what ails us)

Kim — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:39:51 +0000

Everybody I have come across lately share a common thread. We are all experiencing a general malaise. Downright bitchy even. I know I have been feeling that way. Frustrated, out of sorts and unable to articulate exactly why. Hence my recent lack of blogposts. But then it occurred to me. It doesn’t feel . . . → Read More: The Cure (for what ails us)

Bevie Oda ^Not Fiscally Responsible–Apparently, 5-Star Just Ain’t Good Enough

ck — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 23:40:03 +0000

It would appear that the female Roy Orbison wannabe decided that a 5-star hotel, where the conference she was attending last year, was just not good enough for her!

Oda was originally supposed to stay at the Grange St. Paul’s Hotel, site of the conference on international immunizations . . . → Read More: Bevie Oda ^Not Fiscally Responsible–Apparently, 5-Star Just Ain’t Good Enough

Just Four More Days Before M-312 is Put Forward

Boys 'n' girls, it all happens come this Thursday, April 26. We can hope that ol' Stevie Wankworth's bill will be voted down before anything can happen, but I'm not holding my breath. That horrible debate is likely to happen, despite the fact the Supreme Court already ended that over . . . → Read More: Just Four More Days Before M-312 is Put Forward

Ontario Should Join Quebec and Go For Secular School System

ck — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 00:30:17 +0000

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, CC over at the tweeter best describes this situation. It is indeed breath taking how those religious wingnuts who whine about the so-called indoctrination of impressionable youngsters in universities of “lefty”, evul “soshalist” values, crying the blues about how social conservatism has no voice there. Those very same people . . . → Read More: Ontario Should Join Quebec and Go For Secular School System

National Post endorses extremist Wildrose party

Jymn — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:17:27 +0000

Yesterday I foolishly posted about the new diversity at the National Post because of its excellent, fair and balanced coverage of the Robo-calls scandal. I concluded that, with its publication of an opinion piece by Jodie Emery, the paper had come to its senses and decided to be a real newspaper, taking in all points . . . → Read More: National Post endorses extremist Wildrose party

Toddler Sun News Network turns one. Still in diapers.

Jymn — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:41:24 +0000

Diana Mehta of the Canadian Press tries her best to polish a dirty diaper but in the end comes off somewhat like a nursemaid confronting a bawling infant. Fox News North is one year old and failing badly. It’s pulling in a paltry 0.1 per cent of viewers.

Although Mehta attempts to paint the network’s . . . → Read More: Toddler Sun News Network turns one. Still in diapers.

Wildrose: Party of “Conscience”–They Go From Homophobia To White Supremacy

Well, boys 'n' girls, there's a catchy slogan if I ever saw one---for red necks who live in a bunker, on a compound. Ain't he just peachy?

I wonder what Calgary mayor, Naheed Nenshi thinks about that one?

Alberta after Wildrose: gagged and bound

Danielle Smith likes to portray her party as the moderate alternative to Alberta's Conservatives. Turns out, she's just spinning her wheels. This is one scary bunch of ignorant rednecks. Not to mention climate deniers, religious fanatics, homophobes and general assholes.

In Harperland, Only Punishment, No Rehabilitation Or Prevention of Recidivism

ck — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:19:21 +0000

Well, boys ‘n’ girls, those “dumb on crime” Harpercons have proven to only care about punishment and not rehabilitation, yet again. You see, they want to implement new laws with mandatory minimums and then just cuff ‘em and stuff ‘em in their mega-prisons like Thanksgiving turkeys.
