Whoa, garbage truck driver: What’s amazing isn’t that the driver crashed it through the windows/walls/whatever: what’s truly amazing, and pretty good driving in my books, is that he managed to stop it at just the right time to get it to hang like that. It happened in New York City, the driver was injured but […]

Todd spills the beans!
As I said in that other post, I’m pretty sure that all but Sarah Palin’s most panting and delusional fans understand that she has no intention of running for president. Some of them may even understand the purpose of the coy allusions she occasionally makes to getting in the race: it raises her value as […]
Hard-Earned Obscurity vs Panting for Palin
In another post, commenter Terrence links to a demented little screechfest from semi-lucid bigotblogger Pamela Geller. For the fortunately uninitiated, Geller is one of those turds who’s achieved minor notoriety in the fetid corner of Internetland labeled “POLITICAL BLOGGERS” with a routine that she’s been flogging like a pack mule for years: The Voice in […]
I’ve been listening to early David Bowie music non-stop lately
Rebel Rebel: great Bowie song? Or THE GREATEST Bowie song?
But then… Cracked Actor… Suffragette City… Aladin Sane… Diamond Dogs… Ziggy Stardust… Jean Genie… The Man Who Sold The World… etc. etc. et-fre…

The feverish madness of USian politics continues apace, entertaining as usual. If you thought the GOP couldn’t possibly come up with a goofier presidential candidate than CrazyEyes, you’d be wrong. This past weekend their collective delirium spiraled even further out of control when Texas Governor Rick “Goodhair” Perry threw his 10-gallon hat in the ring, […]
Coren is a moron
…that much was clear long before his rancid race-baiting rant about the Tottenham riots, projectile-vomited at anyone who happened to be dozing, bored to tears, in front of a TV tuned to Brian Lilley’s show on Sun News last week. Stand back! Incoming! Hoho. Black-berries, Black-thuggies. Cute. Many found Coren’s stinky little diatribe offensive in […]
Back away slowly, Canada…
Potential next President of the USA: CrazyEyes, come on down! Yes. It’s true. And amidst the squirming-like-a-toad insanity that’s been holding the collective USian brain in its grip lately, it could happen… a lot more easily than we probably think. Saner people are already making a mad dash for the exits, raising the Batshit Index […]
Broken Internets/Killer Teabaggers on Crack
It’s not a truck, it’s a series of tubes. Very fragile glass tubes, and sometimes they break. In the course of doing the so-called “upgrade” they’ve been bragging about for the last 2 months on TV commercials and in the junk mail that relentlessly jams up my postbox, my cable company broke the internets. I […]
I’m downgrading the teabaggers to peebaggers
…because they piss their own bed and gleefully wallow around in it. So who’s to blame for the US government’s credit rating being downgraded by S&P for the first time in history? Who else? Yes, the Teapublicans: the same bozos who were ready to go all Thelma and Louise with the economy bound and gagged […]
The 7 Stages of Dow
After nine ominous down days on the stock market, yesterday investors were treated to a 500-point fiscal bungy jump with a worn-out cord that took them on a wild ride to the bottom, slackened and instead of springing back up, whipsawed sickeningly for the next 36 hours. Meanwhile, the investing public had already collapsed into […]
You stay classy, Pat!
Watching one of his brain-damaged, spittle-flecked rants, I’ve sometimes wondered what a regressive, racist old paleocon whackadoo like Pat Buchanan (or if you like, Pat BucKKKanan) is doing as a “political analyst” on a generally liberal-leaning media outlet like MSNBC. But as someone who’s never been afraid of expressing or being challenged by contrarian viewpoints, […]
Maybe it’s just me
…but today’s National Post carries a headline that made me do a doubletake to find out if it was about a real story or just an analogy for the Great Out-of-Control Debt Ceiling Debate that’s been dragging on in the States lately. Kn…
Continue readingCanada’s government has experienced shrinkage?
At least according to the Wall Street Journal. “Why Canada is beating America” is a concept I imagine is rarely pondered south of the border, primarily because in that neck of the woods the prevailing opinion is that nobody beats them at anything, ever. But the Wall Street Journal boldly goes there, and I […]
Imagine…
…a world where Democrats didn’t always fold like cheap card tables at a trailer park bingo hall.

Yo, FYI: I’ve changed the commenting format to “threaded”, so commenters may reply directly to each other. If you want to reply to a specific comment, just click on the “Reply” link found in the bottom right corner of that comment. So far, I have sometimes used it and sometimes not… admittedly not a very […]
T(bag)-minus 3 days til Debtmageddon
I knew this day would come, and finally, it’s arrived… but incredibly, it’s much worse than I ever anticipated. I refer to the furious fracas going on south of the border over raising the US Debt Ceiling: that wholly self-inflicted hemorrhaging scalp wound in the American economic psyche also known as “The Debt Crisis”. As […]
Ten years later
…former Preznit Georgie W Bush finally explains the embarrassingly protracted 7-minute-long brain fart that was his response to the news that New York City and the Pentagon were in utter devastation and the nation was under attack: Former U.S. President George W. Bush says his apparent lack of reaction to the first news of the […]
Trucknutz!
When I saw the story via Tweeter I “LOL’d” and planned to blog about it. But something that slipped my mind while on vacay was the need for speed in the pursuit and capture of blogging material. It’s not good enough to file an amusing story somewhere in the Cabinets of Your Mind (in the section […]
Let’s see… how to start… um… *ahem*… okay… It was a dark & stormy night…
…and fern hill was kicking ass all over the place! W00t! DJ has the links that tell the entire tawdry tale. And while we’re giving props to those who deserve, how about an honourary scoop of freshly-minted dogpoop to the Toronto Star, supposedly Canada’s Flaming Liberal Newspaper of Record, for refusing to publish even a Letter […]
~Test~
♥ Just wanted to see if this old thang will still fire up and run, or if its piston rings are so rusted out from lack of use that they’re permanently cemented to its bloggy cylinder walls… W00T! So far so good… now let’s road test the audiovisual capability with this astonishing vid of me […]
