Give it up, Woodworth
When you’ve lost the National Post, it’s Game Over: Anyone paying attention over the past few weeks would have spotted the most unlikely of Canadian events: a debate over abortion. […] Mr. Woodworth’s quixotic campaign — and the P.E.I. activists’ failed attempts — prove that a broad debate in Canada

A leftover from the other night that was screaming to get out of the hopper: Who could blame CNN for making this mistake during their coverage of the Iowa Caucus on Tuesday? Bachmann Palin, Palin Bachmann, my daughter my sister, my sister my daughter… Does this prove the Media is

The GOP Primary Reality Clown Show has packed up its balloons and clown shoes and fart whistles and red foam noses and is headed for New Hampshire after a terrifying Tuesday night in Iowa. Terrifying to sane humans, for sure, but even more terrifying to dogs. It’s true: dogs everywhere

Yesterday was the End of something and today is the Beginning of something else — I can tell by the way the execrable gloom that always pursues me at this time of year is finally losing ground and dissipating. Nothing helps put an old year behind better than making predictions

Fapfapfapfapfapfapfap! The Blogosphere just got a little less fappier, the Culture of Death a little zestier, and this blog a little less mocking, derisive and occasionally hilarious, as one of my favourite sources of material over the years shuts down. On the upside, I no longer have to worry about

…and wanted a visit from some of those hunky Secret Service dudes: Hours after Pennsylvania State Police arrested a 21-year-old Idaho man for allegedly firing a semi-automatic rifle at the White House, the top student official for the College Republicans at the University of Texas tweeted that the idea of

As the children of Attawapiskat endure yet another day of grinding poverty, the “Harper Government” cries “Oh look! A fetus!”: A Conservative MP is seeking to reopen Canada’s abortion debate, apparently against his government’s wishes, by asking Parliament to consider “21st century medical evidence” on when a fetus becomes a

…but not necessarily in one piece: In the video description, Goobie55 writes “The sad part is that I was home at the time with the front door wide open. All he would have had to do was ring the bell on the gate.” After being posted on YouTube, the video

Insensitive Douchebaggery was a popular item this week, flying off the shelves like half-price X-Boxes at Walmart on Black Friday (but without the pepper spray, heart attacks and constabulary boots to the head). It was everywhere, like on Old McDoucheald’s farm: here a douche, there a douche, everywhere a douche-douche.

There’s no revenge like Church Lady Revenge. A couple of years ago, some Edmonton Church Ladies were in the grips of a savage altercation over a Church Gentleman, and predictably, it wasn’t long before the situation spiraled into insanity. The chief antagonist in the dispute launched a Facebook Vendetta

More good news for Blackberry! Research In Motion canned a couple of high-level executives who got so viciously, psychotically drunk on an Air Canada flight to Beijing that it had to turn around over Alaska and land in Vancouver so they could be removed and arrested: Two top BlackBerry executives

From the “In What Will Come As No Surprise to Anyone” files, GOP presidential primary contender, pizzamonger and inveterate skirt-chaser extraordinaire Herman Cain has left the building: Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain effectively ended his 2012 White House race on Saturday, saying “false and unproved” sexual accusations have made it
