I think there can be little doubt that Boris Johnson, whatever his shortcomings, is a student of Seinfeld. Here is what he had to say about the drink fests he hosted during Covid-19 lockdowns. And here is what George Costanza offered as he faced termination after having sex with the

Politics and its Discontents: The Unthinking Hordes
H/t Greg Perry As a student of human behaviour, one of the things this pandemic has made abundantly clear to me is that a significant number of people are ill-equipped to think. Whether through a lack of education or the sometimes cruel play of genetics, there are those amongst us

Some seem to have a difficult time understanding the vitriol directed at the strident anti-vaxxers. I hope the following helps clear up any confusion they might be feeling. A 30-year-old Ontario woman diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer has had her surgery postponed indefinitely and says it could be too

Given the contentious nature of measures to force the anti-vaxxers into line, perhaps the following is a viable alternative? H/t Graeme MacKay Recommend this Post

H/t Theo Moudakis Unlike viruses that allegedly ultimately ‘burn themselves out’, stupidity and the flagrant disregard for public health and safety will always be with us. Toronto Star readers have some ideas on how to deal with them: Time to raise the price for those who still won’t get vaxxed,

That is the assessment in today’s Toronto Star editorial of those who refuse to get vaccinated, thereby holding the rest of us (or, as I like to say, the sane majority) hostage. And it is time to start making them pay for their obdurate, anti-social stance. It is their irresponsibility

H/t Theo Moudakis Truth be told, I don’t feel much like writing these days. The news is unrelentingly grim, the pandemic soldiers on, and the stupid continue to run around extolling their ‘gospel.’ My sympathy/empathy for the unvaxxed is non-existent, and given the deaths they are and will be

You may remember Capitol Hill rioter Jenna Ryan. The blonde, well-put-together Texas real estate agent travelled on a private jet to join the January 6 festivities and wound up getting into a spot of trouble that netted her 60 days in lockup. This unrepentant and self-justifying lady granted an interview

As 2021 comes to a close, if you are still looking for a worthy cause to contribute to and get a tax receipt from, I have a suggestion. But first, allow me to provide a bit of context. As a teacher for 30 years, my deepest respect went to those

While the title would seem to be redundant, the following story demonstrates especially well how crazy our neighbours to the south are: A Los Angeles woman is facing a federal assault charge after she allegedly punched and spit on a man aboard a recent Delta Air Lines flight following a mask

While reading the early part of a recent column by Rosie DiManno, as a Canadian I couldn’t help but feel a measure of smugness, but that sentiment quickly evaporated the further I got into her piece. At a school board meeting last month in what I choose to call

As parents, almost all of us want the best for our kids and would do anything to protect them from harm. In the following news report, you will meet a Canadian family divided over Covid-19 shots. That in itself is not news, but when you learn of the medical circumstances

As I have said before, people who read this blog will know I have zero patience for the idiot brigades known as anti-vaxxers. Convinced of the ‘righteousness’ of their cause, these pseudo-martyrs insist on spreading their ‘gospel’ in the most confrontational ways possible, causing all manner of disruption, discomfort and
