Story behind the song: There are few “hooks” in the movie-music world that are as grabby as the Bourne Identity Soundtrack riff (starts at 0:29). Like the movie series, its intensity commands attention. We just had to figure out a way to use it. In our usual style, we thought

Dead Wild Roses: The Family Will Be Growing – The Shadow Knows…
Oh, I’ve just been full of anecdata as of late, but important events are important events. Intransigentia and I have qualified to adopt a senior Shetland Sheepdog. Shadow will be joining us on Sunday May 19th. Let the dog-awesomeness begin. Find your local humane services or Shares and donate some

The burning legion of stupid, led by Harper and his Conservative clown government balefully plods on toward making Canada’s prison system a mirror image of the failed system present in the United States. Do we really need to frack things up Canada-Harper style to get the message that this is
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: We Need “Conservative Math” for Social Spending.
Can you imagine if we had the sort of hand grenade type budgeting for the social services of Canada? It would be like OH!, nationalized day care??? we thought it was like only 5 billion, but it turned out to be 7 billion, damn I guess that’s just ‘mission

Not too long ago Mystro wrote a persuasive piece about how horrible the ramifications are of being tormented for eternity and the loopy logic involved therein. Today’s Disservice will revisit that topic, only now in a helpful youtube video format to illustrate the machinations of a loving and just god.

Shut up you pinko bastards. Calling for the twinning of a perfectly fine road that will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. The nanny state can’t take care you and all of your damn problems. It’s a free country if you don’t like driving highway 63 to Fort McMurray then take

Hey folks, I’m getting older. The grand experience has been going on for 38 glorious years. I’m not melancholy today, just sorta reflective. This song by Mike and the Mechanics has stuck with me through the years, it has wisdom and a story to learn from. I hope you

I remember when we were only talking a paltry 9 billion dollars on new fighter jets (powered by the tears of Canadian children with no access to nationalized day-care). I though wow, this is a real super hyped up plus sell hunk of bullshite being foisted on Canadians. Apparently, Harper

What happens when we realize that religion is just a cultural vehicle to salve our irrational fear of death? Theramin Trees produces another outstanding video that engages the intellect with explanations of why we act the way we do when faced with the facts of our mortality. Seventeen minutes long,

Videos like these get my heart beating faster. The sheer amount of ignorance displayed by the faithfully deluded is recorded for the world to watch and collectively groan as they*facepalm* to shield themselves from the pants-on-fire grade of stupid emanating from the mouths of creationists. We have rationalists now (thank
