the woodshed: When we start our own country, this will be our national anthem

THE BULL Words & Music: Jake Thackray On my farm, the bull is the king of the yard;He’s big and bad and fast, he’s strong he’s . . . hard.All my other animals would readily concurThat he is the one you salute, he’s the one you call “Sir”.But my hens,

the woodshed: So this happened…

It was a matter of time really, but my latest temporary job has run it’s course and I am once again seeking employment. I was hired on a simple letter of employment for eight months as a copy editor and that was ten months ago, so I suppose I can’t

the woodshed: All you need to know…

It is said that all the philosophy one needs to live right can be found in a single source. Traditionalists choose the Koran or the Bible or the Talmud. Others rely on books ranging from Lord of the Rings to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to Atlas Shrugged. More

In the wake of the Trevyon Martin shooting, this is quite likely the last thing that needs to happen: Neo-Nazis patrolling Florida town where Trayvon Martin was killed By CYNTHIA R. FAGEN Last Updated: 5:03 PM, April 7, 2012

the woodshed: Blog against Theocracy weekend

Rather than rage against the fundementalists that seek to impose the narrow-minded rules of their various faiths upon us, I’d like to take a positive approach to the Blog Against Theocracy weekend and express my admiration for the Bluewater District School Board for doing the sensible thing and ensuring that

the woodshed: /30 Mike Wallace

If ever there was a phrase that struck fear into the corrupt politician, the dishonest businessman or the professional con-man, it was “Mike Wallace is out front with a camera crew and he wants to speak with you.”Wallace was an inspiration to reporters everywhere and proved that TV could do

the woodshed: Shooting down another trial ballon

Kitchener MP Stephen Woodworth’s attempt to reopen the abortion debate (not exactly as pictured above) will not end well for anyone. I dislike writing about abortion for a number of reasons. No matter what I write, someone is going to be furiously calling me a baby killer or a misogynst.

the woodshed: Conservatives push Rights and Democracy over the side

The Conservatives have decided to scrap Rights and Democracy. That would be the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development, though I have no doubt they plan to continue to attack the abstract concepts, too. The linked story contains what has to be the understatement of the week, even

the woodshed: Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose

Last weekend @TheBrazman was all over twitter challenging reporters to step into the ring with him and demanding to know how much they were paid and generally making an obnoxious ass of himself. Having seen last night’s fight, I believe Nelson Muntz said it best for all of us: Once

the woodshed: Another books post

Those of you who have been following my efforts to read 50 books this year, having not seen a post about what I’ve been reading lately, need not worry. ( I know, I know — it has just been eating away at you, hasn’t it?) I have been keeping up

the woodshed: More ratfucking

Looks like Pierre Poutine has been at it again.How long before we get to see Dean Del Mastro speculate about whether it was the Liberals who did this or the NDP executive in a false flag attack intended to gin up sympathy for the party or possibly the CBC trying

the woodshed: Muppetry

I know this story is kind of old news by now, but I can ‘t help wondering whether Dick Cheney – who sees this in the mirror: ever actually had any intention at all of coming to Toronto. His last public appearance in Canada saw him get “trapped” in his

the woodshed: Harper’s Nixon moment

Well played, you baby-noshing election-stealing dead-eyed bastard, well played indeed. I’m sometimes accused of being cynical about politics or seeing conspiracies where none exist and, up to a point, I will admit this is sometimes true. It is an occupational hazard for journalists and politics watchers. Sometime rather than reacting
