Yeah, because a group of passive Canadians singing ‘O Canada’ is really, really threatening. (I won’t even mention bubble blowing.)”Vee vuz just following orders”.

Don’t do it. You’re only fluffing his pillows.

Charges against Geert Wilders for defamation have been dismissed. The Dutch court has found no reason to convict the hate speech warrior. Wilders has been vetted by courts and found to be not guilty. I can accept that.What disturbs me is that rightblog…

I have an iPhone 4 and am always trying apps but find most of them a disappointment. I would never think of attempting to use the phone to read a book; the iPhone is just too small. But I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that the wildly popula…

John Boehner left the Oval Office this morning after having his tears dried by a sympathetic but firm Obama.

This time it’s the half-term governor’s error-prone bus trip across America. I guess there’s just enough money in visiting historical sites and avoiding questions.As Palin enjoys her sojourn to the 49th state, she has not reconnected with key earl…

Just a guess.

Because Stephen Harper instructed them to.

Nice to see an American blog recognizing what we Canuck blogs have known for some time: Kathy Shaidle is a flaming homophobe (among other reprehensible things).Sadly No! paraphrases a classic Shaidle post:”I don’t understand why these prissy fairies …

Ed Rollins, the veteran Republican political operative who has been charged with running Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign, has been ordered by his boss to apologize to Sarah Palin. Rollins’ crime? He called Palin ‘not serious’. Yes. That’s all….

Stunning. Yet not particularly surprising when you think of Carrie Prejean and the level of intelligence at these things. I hate to label all American beauties as somewhat short a loaf, but the history of the Miss USA pageant doesn’t hold much hope. At…

It looks like Stephen Harper’s threat against Canada’s media is already paying dividends. When G&M writer Bill Curry wrote this puff piece yesterday, strategically placed in the Globe to soften Lisa Raitt’s image and project one of a ‘for…

Mr. Sinister makes a good point that all this ‘abolishing’ the Senate business is just Harper stomping his little feet (or more correctly, using Jason Kenney’s little feet) to get his way. The bloated and mostly inconsequential Senate is everythin…

With the woefully-miscast version of  ‘On the Road’ about to hit the big screen, I lament that the book took so long to be filmed. Especially this afternoon watching 1968’s “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter”. My god, Stacy Keach is Neal Cassady. Seriously…

Alan Colmes, that nice but too nice guy progressive who has appeared on Fox News for years, sent a missive to Andrew Breitbart apologizing for the rude welcome he received when he tried to crash a Democratic event. Breitbart read the email during a spe…

 
You can always tell the health of a democracy not just by the personal freedoms that are allowed but by those that are verboten. The US is struggling to arise from the dark ages of fundamentalist politics with a renewed embrace – at least in some s…

He needs to build a monster PR machine. By that I mean he needs to raise funds for a crackerjack advertising campaign all year round. Not just any advertising. But repetitive, sometimes negative-with-a-twist television ads that air during sports games,…

The left has given up him, calling him far too empathetic to the right. Meanwhile, the right continues to paint Obama as a Marxist Socialist Muslim with the most savage of all language for any president in my lifetime. I can understand the frustration …
