Blistering dishonesty, festering corruption, uninhibited contagion among Conservatives. 2. Most prevalent among those closest to Prime Minister Harper (Vic Toews, Dean Del Mastro). Also known to infect Conservative rap duos (Easy-E and K-Mart).

The closer it gets to November, the more emboldened they come. But this poster from far-right blog Protein Wisdom is OK because a woman drew it and it’s satire. Yeah right. Remember when the right was so upset over Playboy’s admittedly sexist accounting of the top conservative women? Not so
Continue readingEthical Oil: the Puppet Rap
Kathryn Marshall has been kept under wraps since her infamous meltdown on Power & Politics. Sure she’s popped up on the typical wingnut welfare orgs like FrumPost and most likely Sun Media but as far as the non-state broadcasting orgs, not much. Marshall may have been put on ice but
Continue readingThe deification of Andrew Breitbart: BREITBART IS HERE!
In the movie Game Change, John McCain’s post-defeat words to Sarah Palin go something like this, “don’t get co-opted by Limbaugh and the other extremists. You’ll destroy the party.” True to form, Sarah Palin had done exactly the opposite of everything about which she was schooled by McCain and his
Continue readingBC teachers to fight Bill 22
With the federal Conservatives trying to destroy unions and bully working men and women, the BC Liberals are following suit with teachers. Unlike Air Canada employees, BC’s teachers are not going to take this one lying down. The bill, which will become law by Saturday, orders a six-month cooling-off period
Continue readingLike porn? You won’t like a Santorum presidency.
In another sign just how dangerous to freedom and the American way Rick Santorum really is, this statement from the presidential contender should send chills down one’s spine. Current federal “obscenity” laws prohibit distribution of hardcore (obscene) pornography on the Internet, on cable/satellite TV, on hotel/motel TV, in retail shops

Ah the Catholic church, in all our lives whether we want them or not. As for Komen, there are better alternatives to support finding the cure for breast cancer. Give generously by all means to charities battling cancer but don’t give to a puppet of an organization knee-deep in child
Continue readingQueen Christy Clark further apes her King Stephen Harper. Refuses to talk to press.
And doesn’t Sara MacIntyre sound like such a lovely person. The more I read and hear about Christy Clark, the less I like the Liberals. Since when did the centre-left party become the party of the wannabe-Cons in BC?
Continue readingHeadline of the day: "Sex-deprived fruit flies turn to alcohol, bump into walls and pass out"
Two of the lucky, sober ones Kind of like people. Er, exactly like people. But fruit flies are smarter than people. Some sex-starved humans turn to religion, gluttony or conservatism. Liquor’s quicker and much better for you. Not so lucky human
Continue readingMarch Madness: South Mississippi band chants "Where’s your green card?" to Hispanic opponent
Wow. The racism from the right, especially from those in the south, is accelerating exponentially as the November elections come closer.
Continue readingObama addresses Rex Murphy, Ezra Levant, Stephen Harper
Rex and Ezra look for Stephen. “I know he’s around here somewhere.” Not by name of course; Obama has no idea who the first two are and merely a begrudging acknowledgement of the third. But by speaking about climate change denialists, equating them with flat earthers, Obama could have been
Continue readingNew from the right, stickers that read: "Don’t Re-Nig in 2012"
Whatever gave you the impression the right was racist and anti-Semitic? How silly of you.
Continue readingCNN contributer Dana Loesch’s husband accuses CNN host Soledad O’Brien of anti-Semitism
In another bit of news on the anit-Semitism front, the husband of CNN’s Dana Loesch has publicly accused CNN host Soledad O’Brien of being an anti-Semite. It’s not quite clear why O’Brien is an ‘anti-Semite’ but it must’ve sounded good to Mr. Loesch when he wrote it. Dana Loesch is also
Continue readingUS right’s new fight against Sandra Fluke: her boyfriend is a Jew!
Jew and Jew lover The right has been very upset at Sandra Fluke. What has most pissed off the right about Fluke is that Americans have not approved of the sexist comments about Fluke from the right’s leader, Rush Limbaugh. The lack of support for both Limbaugh and the right’s
Continue readingMust see TV: "Game Change" on HBO
I was a little resistant going into this. I’ve grown weary of Sarah Palin and the inordinate amount of coverage she receives just because she’s an idiot. The director of this movie is the same guy who puts out silly comedies not known for their technical expertise. So the entire
Continue readingCatholic League pres Bill Donohue’s war on rape victims. He wants to fight them "one by one".
Well, isn’t this special! Ah, those poor child-abusing priests. Their victims are so mean to them. Catholic League president Bill Donohue is sick and tired of coddling rape victims. That’s why he supports efforts by lawyers for two Missouri priests accused of sexual abuse to cripple an organization that advocates
Continue readingQuebec government to stand up to Conservatives on C-10
It must be nice to live in a province where its government isn’t the Conservatives’ bitch. The provincial government announced Tuesday that it would do everything in its power to limit the clout of the legislation that passed a day earlier. Because the provinces are responsible for applying the laws
Continue readingAlmost one in 10 Albertan men say it’s OK to physically assault a woman
Words fail. On the one hand, some of the responses are cause for optimism — for example, 56 per cent of men say they are more aware of domestic violence issues than they were five years ago, and 91 per cent say they would intervene if they knew someone in

UPDATE: @saskboy advises this video is a fake. @PopeShakey provides the photo evidence: “I have a lot more dirt than this and it’s all going to come out now.” “By the way everybody, there are worse and more disturbing Robocalls to come.” H/T: @PopeShakey
