Oh yes indeedy little ladies! Shhhhhhhhhhh. Just whisper about it. Do not tell anyone unless you make them pinkie swear they won`t tell anyone else, or Heaven forbid…..do anything about it! Something bizarre popped into my head this morning when I was reading the misguided remarks by one Meagan Leslie.

You have to know what a joke you really are? Far be it from me, a lowly consumer of all kinds of news,  to tell you how wrong you are- on just about everything. (And, apparently fake. ) But lets concentrate on the current Sun News poster child for wrong, Ezra

Many of us found out today that Skdadl, AKA Susan Kent-Davidson has passed. She was one of the most idealistic people I have come across on the blogs. Lovely, funny. Smart as a whip, and a fantastic writer. She was also a very nice person.  We also find out because

It is International talk like a pirate day!  So beware all ye landlubbers and Scurvy dawgs!  We be flyin’ the ACR IPD flag! Raise a glass and sing a bawdy sea song! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

So, every spring, the flowers start to bloom, the grass grows, the trees bud, and the host for the Canadian progressives Aggregator demands a massive sum of money to host us. (to me its massive, I’m thrift girl.) This year, we had a whole swath of amazing contributions from the usual suspects,

I know, this is a soapbox I have been on for years. But many have walked on by as if I was one of those crazy street preachers forecasting the end of the world. Here is where I would say, “I told ya so!” and get some weird perverse pleasure

So we are in the midst of having our elections act changed by the very party that have been under investigation for committing election fraud, the ones that have most likely been pulling the nasty stunts. Makes total sense, right? They are changing it so that it will be harder for the people

So, how was your long sleep? In this week’s newz, the Biebs turned himself in on an assault charge, and the media circus we shall call Cirque’DUH! Rob Ford is rolling through…..Still. In other newz the Canadian government has been spying on you using your cellfone and laptops. The Harper

So we are all probably pretty familiar with the new money. It’s horrible to have to count a stack of it, very slow, and often has to be recounted as the buggas stick together. If it gets folded up in a pocket or a wallet, the creases become almost permanent.

Wow. Not only are we bankrolling this expedition and the Harper and the Rocking Rabbi’s Roadie tour, but we are being looped into supporting the Israeli government no matter what. They wanna bomb Iran? Apparently we do too! Not in my name. Thanks very much. I’m more of a traditional Canadian, not

“But you can’t make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can’t last.” ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 No. We cannot make people listen. That is most obvious after so many years of standing

So I have a few items up for sale on Craigslist. Last evening I got a query, asking email and phone number, and is the item still available? Yes, and I responded with my home phone number. I got an email reply very early this morning, basically asking what the

Well, every year here at ACR it is a tradition that a Christmas song gets subverted. (The inspiration is usually the news.) Why should this year be any different? pale presents, Dying in this Harper Wonderland. You all know the tune!   And I dedicate this picture to all the

Here is a still, from the Harper family production of ‘A Christmas carol’, with the ghost of Christmas present. I would hate to be haunted by this one. Even the Chinchilla looks mortified.

A repost from 2007, and 2008. Just to say that at this time of year, and especially this year with the economy still in the trench, there are children who need a "kitty" of their very own.  -pale kitty, in better days, before the stuffing came out. Its that time

*pale taps her black nails on the desk and thinks……* Oh! Ya! Same gig from a couple years back….When anyone who protested proposed laws that invaded our privacy was labelled as a paedophile. This is a regular occurrence with the Harper Government. When a bill fails (whether Through public outrage,

Or, Happy Halloween. The leaves were swirling all over the yard yesterday as I grabbed one of our old xmas trees out of the back in the guerilla composting pile. It has been resurrected and once again graces our living room. The gurlies and I put lights and pumpkins and
