Harpie speaks! about the “Occupy” protests taking place in Canada today! Or maybe not so much — Mr.H doesn’t seem very interested in discussing the “Occupy” phenomenon. If he thinks the protests are all about how the economy went off a cliff in the wake of 2008′s Exploding Shit House Of Dumbness & Greed, he’s […]

Double-barreled irony
The future isn’t looking too bright for the controversial Long Gun Registry, currently whiling away its final weeks on Bad Legislation Death Row, smoking rollies and using the ashes to scratch “LOVE/HATE” tattoos into its knuckles as it waits for a CPC government Termination Technician to put it to sleep: The long gun registry is […]
Someone’s cranky about the Ontario elxn
Why so bitter?: Voting Conservative is “Gutter Morality!??” Tsk. So you got a little spanking on Election Day… okay, you were beaten like a gong. No, make that ‘beaten like a Cinco de Mayo pinata’. But look on the bright side: one less vote would have put you in the ’beaten like a crack baby in […]
It’s not just Blackberry
Blackberry users aren’t the only ones having trouble, at least today. Apple’s servers gave up the ghost today when millions of iPhone users tried to update their phones with the new IOS 5 software: Users on Apple’s help forums have begun reporting that they’re not able to activate iOS 5, noting that Apple’s activation servers […]
“We Are The 53%”
For every action, there’s an equal reaction — within + or -3%. I suppose that would be an apt characterization of “We Are The 53%”, a Tumblr site started by a conservative blogger as a counterbalance to Occupation Wall Street’s “We Are The 99%“. “We Are The 99%” tells individual stories of Wall Street protest […]
Goldman’s Blankfein bails on college address
Oh, those damn *cough/eyeroll/puke* scheduling conflicts: The students of Barnard College were expecting to hear from Lloyd C. Blankfein, the chief executive of Goldman Sachs, as part of a lecture series titled “Power Talks.” But over the weekend, Mr. Blankfein informed the college that he was canceling his appearance, originally planned for Wednesday night, because […]
CRTC Chair Von Finckenstein stepping down in 2012
Laid low with some kind of vicious viral crud for the last 2 weeks, I missed this story. But I think it’s worth commenting on, if only because one teeny-weeny year ago there was so much gnashing of teeth over the possibility that the thuggish Steveoid Government would immediately jackboot von Finckenstein’s ass out of […]
Small Government!
When people like Michele Bachmann (R-Batshit) jabber inanely about “small government”, what they mean is government so small it can crawl up your vagina and do an ultrasound of the contents of your womb: Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) proposed a bill on Thursday that would force women in the early stages of […]

NatPo issues lame & wrong apology for insulting ad, fixes it, well done NatPo
Religious right crackpot Charles McVety has been a busy little bible-banger lately, and as usual it’s all about S E X , raising the question: Does this guy EVER get any? (Whoops, sorry if that conjured up any unpleasant visuals. Next time I’ll use a trigger warning.) Chuck’s latest Adventure in Sexland was an ad […]
Harper’s Trost Trouble No Trouble
And what are we to think of mouthy little Brad Trost, the CPC backbencher from Saskatchewan who’s gotten into the habit of losing control of his yap and going rogue on the topic of abortion lately, even on nationwide TV? Speaking to CBC’s Evan Solomon, host of Power & Politics, Trost said the government should […]

Word of the Day: “Satire”
Look it up, Washington.
Please.
(P.S. to The Terrorists: You can stop now. You’ve won.)
Free the Wall Street Bull!
Wall Street’s famous “Charging Bull” has been incarcerated — for his own good, of course. Because this hasn’t been a typical 10 days in the cold, constantly pounding, never sleeping heart of international finance that is his home. In a testament to Twitterpower, the message to “#occupy” New York’s financial district instantly spread far and […]
Harper “ensconced” in power for next 8 years??
“Ensconced” — I love that word. But in this case… As much as I might roll my eyes at the feverish fear and loathing Harper provokes in some of the more doctrinaire corners of Left Blogistan, even I have trouble with the idea of him being ensconced — or even sconced – in power for […]
Leaky nose, poundy head, chesty cough
Yep, that would be me. A thousand pardons for the lack of blogging — my brain is sore.
On a semi-related note, if you haven’t already done so then go read about Dr. Dawg’s experience with our horrible health care system. Compare a…
Santorum the Rick vs. Santorum the “Frothy Mixture of Lube and Fecal Matter”
So nice to have that bible-whomping Republican wingnut Rick Santorum back in the spotlight again, if ever so briefly. Anyone who’s ever googled “Santorum” — and why the hell wouldn’t you? — is aware of what’s commonly known as Santorum’s “Google Problem”: a highly successful campaign to mock the goofy homophobic ex-Senator by linking his […]
Poe: Next Generation?
We knew it all along: US House Speaker John Boehner isn’t orange, he’s PINK, as in PINKO! And he better watch his pink ass, because somebody wants his job (besides Eric Cantor)… a tea party challenger, and this guy’s a doozy: So how many teabagger stereotypes did that guy exhibit? Let’s tally it up. Raging […]
Can’t even go to the internet
…without having to see dumbass ignorant bigots, to the point that I literally have a hard time even turning on my computer to do something as simple as surf the net… And this is freedom?? And what about The Children, when they go to the internet?? Whenever they’re on the internet and see some ignorant […]
Because it’s Saturday
When Amazon set up their website to allow Customer Reviews of the psychotic myriad of products they flog, I wonder if they knew those reviews would become such a source of entertainment that they’d have their own Top Ten Lists? My favourite product from that list has to be the Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank. This is […]
