Yup. The same free market prophets that consistently bitch and whine about FREEDUM and preach hateful things about all the not white people. SUN TV. They have applied for mandatory carriage with the CRTC. Its because they say they are losing MILLIONS a year because no one wants to pay

I hope Santa was good to all the good boyz and girlz. We are sitting here in the Batcave having a quiet holiday. Its a scaled down affair. The kidlets are happy with whatever Santa brought, which with today’s consumer kids is amazing in and of itself. They got a

Check it out! As Star writer Tonda MacCharles reported on Wednesday, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is mulling a sweeping set of proposals from the pro-gun camp that would further water down federal controls. In future, gun owners’ licences would run for 10 years or longer without renewal, up from

a thread on twitter, #CPCXmasCarols inspired this song. Sing along! on the first day of austerity, Harper gave to me, a pink slip made from a tree…. On the second day of austerity, Harper gave to me, a thousand dead ducks, and a pink slip made from a tree… On

I will always turn up….
I have been away a fair bit.
Couple items:
I experienced a small heart attack. No pain really, just a tightness in the chest and some arm and back pain. I was at work, and drove myself to the emerg. (not the best plan) Ya……..

Last night a huge sigh of relief could be heard across North America and many other parts of the world, the Republican party lost pretty badly.

They not only lost badly, they really hadn’t seen it coming.
President Obama was re-elected by a good eno…

The twitter has been alive today with mentions of a certain community newspaper that told a freelancer she could no longer cover actual news because of the petulant whinging of MP James Bezan, and then basically cut all ties with her because as a private citizen she signed a petition

I know many of us here in Canada are obsessively watching the US elections. We know how it affects us when the Repubs are in office. I don’t see that many differences between the Harper conservatives and the Romney republicans; they are both extreme when it comes to social issues,

‘Tis that day again, little goblins all ramped up on sugar, fog in the air… Trick or Treat? With the news of the storm called Sandy, it is hard to get into the holiday spirit at times. But Sandy did turn up something that is almost Halloween related, a skeleton

Yanno, I do agree that the whole XL debacle is a great example of how important food safety and regulation is. Totally. I get it. If we are going to allow these massive meat processing centers to operate, the main focus needs to be food safety. I cook as part

Ya, I am Mama blogging. Bear with me. Last evening after the gurlies had been put into bed and kissed and hugged, they got into a kerfuffle about a book. The 7 year old had "borrowed" the book that her sister had taken out from the classroom library and she

    The other night was the most hilarious thing I have seen on TV in a long while. Romney lied and smiled that horrible smile, and he face planted on the Benghazi Rose Garden statement. Romney also made many noteworthy gaffes. He thinks women want to go home to

With the news full of Amanda Todd, many of us have gone into some deep reflection of school years where we were harassed and tormented on a daily basis. We feel very deeply for that young girl, even though we didn’t know her. It has struck a chord because we

We came across a site the other day that made the whole family in the batcave laugh, dog-shaming.com. People post pictures of their dogs with guilt riddled faces and a note explaining the "crime" that the dog has committed.         Funny stuff. The dogs don’t care too

I was just watching this preview on CBC’s Fifth Estate site, and damned if that quote didn’t enter my head…. A gentleman in the clip says that the F-35’s can’t really do anything well, they are Turkey’s as he says…… Classic…. read more

Today’s full comment by Dan Delmar, the short paraphrased pale version: It is hard werk making sure you don’t steal errrrrrrrrr borrow, errrrrrrrrr missapropriate! (ya, that’s it)  others words! And you Twitterers and " novice journalists" have no idea how hard it is to come up with original thoughts! To

Just when you thought you had heard it all… Here it comes again!     Bev Oda was busted for smoking in a Washington DC hotel room, and fined $250 dollars for the privilege. She then tried to charge it as an expense, but paid it back when it was

Harper likes to keep everything "in the family" as it were. They may not be blood relatives, but they are all related somehow somewhere. Six degrees of Kevin Bacon? More like the 1st degree. Headline: PMO chief lobbied by Barrick Gold despite personal ties Pointed questions are beginning to swirl

In my twitter feed today I spotted a conversation with two people I think highly of, and another….I really don’t know what to think mostly. I am never sure if he is that clueless or if it’s a Devil’s advocate kinda thing? There have been troubles in the past with

Carney put his tootsies into the piranha pool the other day and the corporate fishies are now attempting to take off his leg. In this instance he is totally correct. Oh sure, the corporate piranha’s are telling us they are just being prudent and all. They are just saving for
