Let Freedom Rain II: It’s a riot watching Canadian pundits twisting themselves into knots on the teevee over Duffy, Wallin and whatshisname
I’ve only got basic cable meaning the only things to watch are sports and news. The latter is relatively new to me because I have stayed away from news shows for the past decade when I had full cable. They seemed too inept to pay any attention to. But it

Sometimes it takes a Texan to tell us who the real Canadian heroes are.

They say that good taste is timeless. Nowhere can this be seen more clearly than the lack of taste demonstrated on both sides of the border the last few days. The best example of this political kitsch comes from the latest round of weeping and bawling from Republicans who just

This picture encapsulates the situation in Washington better than any words could.

Yeah, Ed Henry is a Fox News ‘reporter’ but as we all know that’s equivalent to the communications director for the Republicans. So, why are the Republicans crumbling? This video demonstrates the pettiness and infantile nature of the GOP. Don’t get what you want? Stomp your little feet and walk

Well there you have it. Exactly what this GOP hissy fit has been about all along.

I don’t know what bee flew up Arianna Huffington’s bum but she’s featuring a 3-part smear column from disgraced Niall Ferguson on New York Times’ Paul Krugman. Meanwhile, the morning folks at MSNBC have joined with Ferguson to likewise smear Krugman. To make matters worse, it seems neither outlet has
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Study: Beginning at age 18, 52% males and 48% females perpetrate some sort of sexual violence
Surprising to some, I suppose. It is not until ages 18 or 19 years that males (52%) and females (48%) are relatively equally represented as perpetrators. Perhaps related to age at first perpetration, females were more likely to perpetrate against older victims, and males were more likely to perpetrate against

While 80’s youth are generally described as the “me generation,” Hunter S. Thompson had a better term for the Reagan-raised assholes who reigned in the first Bush’s America – Generation of Swine. Looking at today’s Republican party holding the country (mostly the poor, the young, the vulnerable) hostage, and Harper’s

I have a dislike for CBC’s Toronto-centric, Vancouver-hating NHL coverage that grows with every time I watch it (very rarely anymore). The panel is full of assholes. Then there’s Don Cherry and Ron Maclean, two sad sacks who should be kicked off the air. So, I enjoyed this little reproach

At 14, I was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings. Hire me. I lie like a motherfucker. Isn’t that what you want, Mr. Harper?

This is democracy? Is it the transparency we were promised? US wingnuts love to call everyone else “thugs.” We only have one group of thugs in our country of which we should be afraid. No, not the Hell’s Angels. Not the Mafia. Well, both of those in a way. In

I’m a little late to this but the Daily News cover has to be seen to be believed. Can you imagine any Canadian paper performing such sacrilege with Harper, the Senate or any Conservative for that matter?
