I’ve seen every episode, and here is what I predict: 1. Sally finally gets laid; 2. Don kills himself, but that’s not related to Sally getting laid; 3. Roger proposes to Red; 4. Peter goes back to Trudy; 5. Peggy goes to McCann; and 6. Betty does nothing, because that’s

Valerie Burns: Terrific Debate News
I like this move. I don’t support Mr. Harper, but I support this decision. Now, for our next debate change, can we please skip the part where we get “ordinary Canadians” (read: “moronic Canadians”) to come in and ask the “real questions” (read: “moronic questions”) especially since the questions is
Continue readingValerie Burns: OBJECTION: Foundation!
Why is this witness not being called to authenticate his own handwriting? Otherwise, this document is an unsworn, unfounded, out of court statement. Because he is Stephen Harper, of course. That is the only reason why.
Continue readingValerie Burns: You say “suspendee,” I say “Harper appointee”
Patrick Brazeau, ladies and gentlemen. Just one more thing that Stephen Harper is definitely not responsible for, because…? http://www.nationalnewswatch.com/2015/04/09/former-senate-law-clerk-mark-audcent-to-continue-testimony-at-mike-duffy-trial/#.VSbKYU1OXIV
Continue readingValerie Burns: Crown risks repeating mistakes of Mulroney trial with Duffy
The question that will live in infamy, “did you ever have any dealings with Karlheinz Schreiber?” The crown prosecutor who asked that question would later testify at the Oliphant Commission that he let Brian Mulroney off easy, because he was Prime Minister of Canada. He wasn’t willing to challenge him,
Continue readingValerie Burns: NDP breaks law with new fundraising ploy
Before you say it, yes, I know it was a joke. It wasn’t a joke because it was April Fool’s Day though. It was a joke because everything the NDP does is a joke. Consider this, the NDP issues a presser making fun of the Liberals for not reading the
Continue readingValerie Burns: Stick a Fork in Sun TV
Some very kind people have said some thoughtful things about the jobs lost at SUN TV. Kind people are good. I get that. Personally, I think that rat’s nest shutting down is a fucking boon to this country. The mere fact they supplied jobs is not enough to justify their
Continue readingValerie Burns: Predictions for 2015
The New Year Cometh! Here is what I’m divining, as I sit in various states of undress, contemplating my semi-nude universe: 1. Justin Trudeau will become Prime Minister of Canada. He’s the best, so he’ll win. 2. Pope Francis will be assassinated. I love him. He’s the man. He’s almost certainly
Continue readingValerie Burns: No More Paikining, Please!
New rule everyone, if you want to take a giant dump on a political party by way of a Breakup Note – I’m looking at you, Warren Kinsella – you have to at least have been in some way formally associated with that party. The worst example, naturally, is our
Continue readingValerie Burns: Oh David Bertschi….
When I suggested that he might sue the party, he didn’t seem to get that I WAS MAKING FUN OF HIM. I didn’t want him to ACTUALLY TAKE MY ADVICE. I was being SARCASTIC and making fun of him for BEING A ‘LIBERAL’ IN NAME ONLY WHO JUST WANTS TO
Continue readingValerie Burns: What Will David Bertschi Do Next?
Being a pain in the ass is a talent, and David Bertschi’s talent has earned him some b-list placement in obscure parts of the Internet. He’s trying though, so let’s give him a little credit. E for effort! He’s running out of options though. He’s already gone through the standards,
Continue readingValerie Burns: You can’t overcome sexism with sexism
Scott Gilmore, whoever that is, has raised quite a stink with his paternalistic column about how women should overcome their pitiful $100 excuses and run for office already. He deserves all the stink he is getting for his awful column. We all hope that he will learn his lesson. The
Continue readingValerie Burns: “Open” nominations don’t mean “stupid” nominations
David Bertschi is a problem. That’s not news of course. His approach to politics has always been selfish, nasty, and aggressive. His recent campaign, fuelled by his paid staff going nuts on Twitter, is a direct attack on the Liberal Party. It will be curious to see where he goes
Continue readingValerie Burns: When you vote today, remember Chuck Cadman
There is very little satisfaction in saying “I told you so.” Being right is no fun when the consequences are actually dire. There is no bragging when we look back in time and know that we were right all along; however, it can be important to remind everyone of what
Continue readingValerie Burns: Andrew Leslie FTW
Just when I was saying that we should blog about less, here comes General Leslie with his sexy announcement. Let the riding speculation begin! My guess, Ottawa-Orleans. Strong military community in that riding. Sorry David Bertschi!

My three faithful readers remind me that I don’t post here often enough for their liking. They are dear to me, and I love them all. Hi guys. There are a few reasons I don’t post more. SInce I like lists, I’ll make one here to amuse and bemuse: 1.
Continue readingValerie Burns: If we can’t pin the tail to the donkey, then we are the donkey.
We could get Nigel Wright’s resignation, but so what? His polling numbers don’t matter. If he trends on Twitter during his scandal, who cares? Nobody is going to vote for him, or against him. Mike Duffy, ditto. He can be the least popular politician in the country, and it changes
Continue readingValerie Burns: Send me your letters!
I haven’t settled on a salutation or a title yet. It will be neither “Hey Faggot” like Dan Savage, nor “Dear Miss. Manners,” but I have decided to write a once-a-week sex advice column. It’ll be fun, and it will be an excuse to write more. So write me, ask
Continue readingValerie Burns: BC Election Results Vindicate Many
Premier Clark’s astounding election victory deserves to be celebrated. Almost nobody thought she had a shot, and the reports on her chances were dismal. The polls were bad. The media was against her. Certain pesky issues seemed to dominate her message. So congratulations, Premier Clark. Way to go. Well done.
Continue readingValerie Burns: On Michael Sona
Officials from Elections Canada have laid an information in a Guelph court alleging one charge against Michael Sona, a former Conservative Party of Canada staffer and campaign executive. You guys know I don’t blog often. I greet most political issues with a sens of ennui, and most ‘debates’ frustrate
