While I’m the first to acknowledge that right-winger Erick Erickson is off his rocker in the most biblical sense of the term, this proliferation of the words ‘derp’ and ‘derpy’ by lefty journalists to describe the homophobic and sexist Fox News analyst is a little lame. “Stupid” is apt enough a

Let Freedom Rain II: Free press? Apparently, it’s only for Conservatives.
Just ask Don Martin. Or better yet, ask his cowardly bosses at CTV (Conservative Television).
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Sheeit. I just can’t help it but Rob Ford’s crack smoking is the first thing I’ve liked about him.
It shows he’s human. It’s a start. Unless of course he and his brother are in league with the drug dealers.
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Huffington Post: "Who says women aren’t sexist?"
Dr. Dressler not going to be so popular after this one (emphasis mine): When I suggested to Sari that she was behaving in a pretty obviously sexist manner, she was shocked. In her mind, she was simply reacting to facts and patterns she’d seen over her long career. “Sexist?” she
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Obama photos with hot blonde prom date
This is gonna drive the right wing even nuttier than it usually is. But it is this photo which makes me laugh the most. Who’s the first right blogger to claim Barack’s grabbing the shorter girl’s ass? LOL. http://swampland.time.com/2013/05/23/time-exclusive-obamas-1979-prom-photos/

One of the things that defines leaders is their lack of morality and poverty of ethics. You don’t get to the top without fucking over a major portion of your opposition, including those who stumbled in your way. Stephen Harper is the ultimate 21st century leader. No compassion, no heart,
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Parents: don’t send your sons to St. George’s School in Vancouver
At the ripe old age of 62, I experienced my first blush with ageism, sexism, mockery and verbal insults from the senior staff of the two stores at the exclusive St. Georgre’s boy’s school as clerk last spring. During the 2 1/2 month tenure, so bullied was I that my
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Wolf Fucking Blitzer to OK survivor: "You gotta thank the Lord, right?" Survivor: "I’m an atheist."
The survivor is so nice to such a bullying, ignorant question. I would have responded, “Yeah, thank the same entity that caused this shit? You moron.” CNN and its religiosity makes me sick.
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Almost all you media types endorsed Harper’s Conservatives. You now own ’em.
I think it’s time for a little redneck punching. National Post, don’t try to weasel out of this. Globe & Mail, you made your bed but we have to sleep in it. Sun Media, you shouldn’t shit where you eat. We 61% suffer for your madness, ignorance and beholding to
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: The lesson politicians need to learn from Obama: don’t piss off the media!
I’ve followed the media aspect of politics for a long time but not necessarily the politics itself. The former is far more telling about the state of a locale than the policies that enhance and hamper the lives of its citizens. Take a look at how the media is handling
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Gawker and the Rob Ford crack video
Graydon enjoying the high life I don’t think much of Gawker. It’s a trashy site but I go to it fairly regularly because there is usually something amusing to read. Plus, a post a wrote once on LFR about childhood friend and Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter was picked up
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Radio host: "I want to shoot her [Hillary Clinton] right in the vagina and I don’t want her to die right away"
What progressives are up against. This is acceptable language for the right wing. UPDATE: Nobody on the right seems to know about this action. So I did a little experiment. I tweeted to Ben Shapiro that I hoped Carney ripped his lungs out. I got a ton of reaction from
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Things learned from the British Columbia provincial election
Christy Clark is cute, elegant and surrounds herself with rabid federal Conservatives. Negative ads work (if done properly). Adrian Dix is not a speaker. The NDP does not understand the importance of media and messaging. British Columbia has a large religious, conservative population. Negative ads work (if done properly). The Green
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Cocaine Cowboy Conservative Boss Hoss Rob Ford
Rumours have been swirling for awhile about the Harper Conservataives. Cocaine, I could almost understand. But crack? Rob Ford, instant heart attack. Sheeit. So, what’s Mike Duffy’s excuse for his philandering?
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Eric Holder’s ‘have you no sense of decency, sir’ moment
It’s always nice to see a car thief like Darrell Issa get his ass handed to him. I’m no Holder fan but this was delicious. “It is inappropriate and too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of Congress,” the attorney general said. “It is
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Welcome to New Alberta, formerly known as British Columbia
Looks like negative campaigning really does work. Look at hapless Adrian Dix. Can’t wait for our first spill along the coast. Whooheee! And Justin Trudeau, see how positive campaigning is a loser’s game? Don’t be an idiot. Canada is too important for you to act like a rube, which Adrian
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Andrew Breitbart meets St. Peter. It does not go well.
When right-wing provocateur Andrew Breitbart passed on, a good source at heaven’s gate tells me his meeting with gatekeeper St. Peter was not what Andrew expected. First of all, and to Breitbart’s shock, Peter is black. Tsk, tsking in admonition, Peter told Andrew that he could read the prankster’s thoughts and he
Continue readingLet Freedom Rain II: Chris Hadfield: making Canada cool again
As if to remind the world that we’re not all Stephen Harper shaming us all singing John Lennon’s Imagine without our PM getting it that he is the anti-Lennon. Hadfield is every bit space cowboy, Canadian adventurer and Bowie. He’s the real stuff. He’s what makes us proud.

Anyone who can quote from ‘Arrested Development’ is AOK in my book. H/T: Crooks and Liars

“Something is wrong here!. Dead giveaway.” This interview is causing a sensation on the youtube. The reason is simple: here is a person with an ease of both language and delivery. But what really makes this video stand out is the very end, where local hero Charles Ramsey, who found the three
