Because context no longer matters…
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Justin Trudeau “Striptease”
The Liberal MP for Papineau strips down to his undershirt (oops! spoiler alert there) at a recent charity fundraising auction. Evidently, some people aren’t impressed… “reason kabillion” why he will never be Liberal leader harrumphs “gritchick” rather inexplicably.

Panelists on the BBC comedy quiz show Have I Got News For You trade jibes about the OCW movement in London. Great line by Ian Hislop responding to the silly right-wing trope that protesters patronizing Starbucks are hypocrites: “You don’t have to want to return to a barter system and
Continue readingRed Tory v.3.0.3: Herman Cain Art Project?
I would love to subscribe to this amusing theory Rachel Maddow has been propounding of late to explain the otherwise perplexing Herman Cain campaign… Unfortunately, I just can’t seem to reconcile myself with the notion that Cain is a brilliantly satirical performance art genius to the more stubbornly held belief

Here’s the latest attack ad from the Rick Perry campaign: “Can you believe that?” Governor Perry incredulously asks. “That’s what our president thinks is wrong with America… that Americans are lazy?” Hmmm. I wonder where Perry might have gotten his inspiration for this grotesque distortion from? Oh, right, of course…

Protesters from Occupy Vancouver marched earlier today to the building that houses the offices of Brookfield Properties to show solidarity with Occupy Wall Street, who have been evicted from Zuccotti Park, which the company owns.

Last night’s TDS featured correspondent Sam Bee reporting on the class division that supposedly had been growing between different factions in the OCW encampment before it was dismantled. “As it dragged on, the movement had been in danger of becoming the very thing it was fighting against,” she opined. In

Talking to the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal newspaper, Herman Cain demonstrates his foreign policy acumen with respect to the recent conflict in Libya… “Um, I do not agree with the way [Obama] handled it for the following … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: Bob Rae on the Economy
Good speech from last week by Bob Rae on the Canadian economy in the global context.
It’s short on details, but well aimed in its critique of “ideological islands of waste and profligacy” in the Conservatives’ government spending agenda.

Red Tory v.3.0.3: The Guilt Trip
Can a wholly innocent man be manipulated into confessing to a murder he didn’t commit? That’s the question posed in this edition of Darren Brown’s program, The Experiments. Brown, a British illusionist and mentalist, describes his latest series as an … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: Mine Your Own Business
Interesting documentary from 2007 that presents what its creators describe as the “dark side of the environmental movement”… The film contends that opposition from Greenpeace and other environmentalist NGOs to a gold mining project by a Canadian firm in Roșia … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: New Rules: 11/11/11
From the last show of the season. “If A Christmas Carol was performed by the Tea Party Dramatic Society, it would be a cautionary tale about how the hero, Scrooge – a blameless job creator – is turned into a … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: Fucking Spam!
Unlike some folks that are ridiculously obsessed with such things, I spend absolutely no time whatsoever monitoring or analyzing the site statistics for this little soapbox, let alone bothering to figure out ingeniously clever ways to SEO “optimize” them. Chalk … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: Student Protests
Thousands of students marched through London yesterday to protest cuts to public education spending and a significant increase in tuition fees. Here’s one of the organizers, Ben Beech, a 21-year-old architecture student, holding forth on the issue in an interview … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: Oops!
In tonight’s latest installment of the GOP Dating Game, Rick Perry makes it clear that, if elected, he would immediately scrap three federal government departments: Education, Commerce, and… one he’s completely unable to identify by name. In fact, it’s the … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: OCW Vancouver/Victoria Update
The few remaining hardcore activists in Vancouver and Victoria continue to discredit whatever legitimate grievances initial supporters of the copycat OCW movement in Canada may have purported to represent at the outset of the protests several weeks ago. Tonight, protesters … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: Zygotes ≠ “Persons”
While it may be argued in the most technically extreme biological sense that “life begins at conception” as devoutly religious people maintain to be the case, it is a complete absurdity to contend that a fertilized egg (aka a zygote) … Continue reading →
Red Tory v.3.0.3: An Anal Cyst Says, What…?
Rush Limbaugh demonstrates, yet again, what an utterly loathsome, hypocritical, morally vacant douchebag he is. No wonder he has such a compelling appeal to countless millions of right-wing “dittoheads”… By the way, MSNBC did very well hiring former Republican campaign … Continue reading →
