Quintessentially Liberal: The White Suit
Nothing says “I’m a liberal” on a man more than a white suit. It is characteristic of a liberal’s persona of uninhibited style, non-conformist attitude and a sense of individualism, long forgotten and buried by the now conservative staple of boxy black suits sported by the least stylish of the political bunch. In other
Continue readingMen attract bacteria more than women
It’s not guesswork to say that men are generally more filthier than women. It’s not necessary to construe this statement as men don’t wash themselves as often, or that men do not use as many body wash products as women, or even that men actually like being dirtier. Unfortunately, a new scientific study
Continue readingThe religious come up with more crackpot reasons for their beliefs, this time it’s health
Despite the fact that people are significantly healthier when attending a yoga class, palates, TRX, or just working out by themselves versus not doing any kind of exercise or physical activity on a regular basis, the religious care not but to emphasize the health benefits of going to church. In

I’ve always thought of Zuckeberg as a hack, a man that was well positioned to take advantage of an emerging trend, armed with a great idea, some money and a good support system, but never really a Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. He achieved what he achieved… what exactly did he
Continue readingU.S. Politics: The political process is run by the rich on both sides of the political spectrum
Here in Canada, there are certain limits on how much an individual donor can give to the political campaign of a candidate. I believe it’s around the vicinity of $1400 CAD. Additionally, private corporate entities are banned from donating under the company name. Although there are many things to complain about in Canadian

The May Show of today is a pale imitation of the May Show that was so successful through the 1980′s and the first half of the 90′s, so maybe it’s time to stop pretending and just let it die. The … Continue reading →

The students still protesting in Quebec against tuition hikes should make sure that they don’t track their progress by the political reaction of the opposition parties and of the Charest government. What these politicians have to say is largely inconsequential to the revolutionary effort and mission statement of the students. The movement shouldn’t
Continue readingVibrators and dudes, what’s so damn intimidating about a plastic, glass or rubbery toy?
All of us men know that women love their vibrators. This is why some carry their’s in their purse, some beg their use in the bedroom and others are addicted to the machine’s instant gratification proprieties. Unfortunately, because of this some men think that a dildo or a vibrator is
Continue readingCanadians spend at least 10% of their lifetimes stuck in traffic, and it pisses me off
The breath and expanse of Canada, as the world’s second largest country, is both a curse and a blessing for Canadians. The country is beautiful, its scenery breathtaking and of course the people are probably the most cultured, caring and grounded people I have ever met in my travels. However, due to the fact
Continue readingClooney hosts wicked fundraiser and shoots some hoops with Obama
At least Obama has the backing of some serious Hollywood heavyweights when it comes to funding, something that the Romney campaign can only dream of. With George Clooney raising over $15 million for Obama’s re-election campaign and the Democratic party itself, the President is sure to put these new funds to
Continue readingObama, first President in U.S. history to publicly endorse same-sex marriage
Many liberals and democrats will now say: “Finally! ” and ask: “What took you so long Mr. President?” Yes indeed, what prevented Barrack Obama to show his support of gay marriage publicly until now? Perhaps the question isn’t worth asking. The Republican party and it’s ranks of racist, bigoted and religiously extremist Americans, that’s who.
Continue readingStudent loan interest rate freeze fails to garner bipartisan support
First of all, let’s be clear about who the real job creators are in the U.S. and around the world. They’re the future generation of young adults, currently in post-secondary, pursuing new business ventures and studying for their undergraduate degrees to enter the workforce. They are the future entrepreneurs that will
Continue readingGypsy representative complains of unfair Tory immigration policies
Normally, I would defend to the death many fellow immigrants and their right to claim refugee status here in Canada. There are plenty of countries in the Balkans that are still so messed up, that any average citizen emigrating from them can be considered a refuge. However, this isn’t the
Continue readingNo, you can’t achieve anything you set your mind to
We all remember when we were kids or even adolescents how our parents used to tell us that we can accomplish anything we set our minds to, that we can conquer any obstacle society puts in front of us, that our achievements would only be limited by the amount of enthusiasm and
Continue readingCompromise be gone, how radical change cannot be achieved without violence
I think the world by now generally understands that great social change, the kind that affects the public generationally, like Martin Luther’s Civil Rights Movement and Mahatma Gandhi’s fight against Apartheid in India, cannot be achieved without some violence and without some suffering, minimal or otherwise. Whether it’s the oppressor or the

Mitt Romney is so flippant nowadays and his campaign jockeys so clueless as to what to tell him to say in public that it’s painstaking to watch the campaign unfold. Every single time this man opens his mouth, he either makes a ridiculous statement, or he backtracks on his statement
Continue readingOntario Liberals get second chance for a majority without going through another election
PC MPP for Kitchener-Waterloo Elizabeth Witmer is resigning her post only after six months of being re-elected. The Ontario Liberals also currently hold 52 seats in a 107 seat legislature. If they manage to fill the vacant seat with a Liberal MPP, the OLP will have a total of 53 seats. The Speaker of the

Recently, German newspaper Bild released a map of the world dubbed “Atlas of Cup Sizes” depicting color coded countries based on the average cup size of women’s breasts ranging from A cup to greater than D. Canada did rather decently with the average cup size being C, while in the United States, women

Just like the title says, to illustrate the ridiculousness of the pro oil-sands lobbying group Ethical Oil and their request to the CRA to investigate Canada’s premier Environmental Protection Group, the David Suzuki Foundation, for “political and partisan activity” I will use a simple analogy: Say that you had a village full
