Too much methinks. The Honourable Senator for Kanata-Prince Edward Island’s mouth piece, Donald Bayne, was on CBC Newsworld over my lunch hour explaining everything but truly explaining nothing. In defense of the former federal buffet and open bar inspector it truly sucks that they, they being our beloved Prime Minister

The World Famous Dan Shields: 6347…Happy Halloween Matt Schaub
He’s the quarterback for the Houston Texans. They were picked as the team to beat, the putative 2014 Super Bowl champs. Turns out he sucks. So, as reported by KHOU TV in Houston, he is dead to the Rhoda Morgenstern’s of Kroger’s, a grocery store in the city. Feel the

With all due respect to Senator Vern White he is wrong about safe injection sites. He had a letter to the editor published in the two big Ottawa dailies Thursday slamming said sites. Giving free needles to junkies seems to be counter intuitive and costly but according to information reported

It really is. Montreal, as you know, is where the unthinkable happens on a regular basis. Ottawa has similar issues, although they tend to be more benign. Case in point: Oktoberfest. Just saw an ad for Ottawa Oktoberfest. It is being held this year from September 27 to the 29th.

Twas in my morning Ottawa Sun. Careerist supreme Senator Vern White was hating on Liberal leader Justin Trudeau for saying that he took a hit off a reefer while an MP. This kind of self serving bullsh*t kills me. It is not just Senator White; the Ottawa Sun contacted a

Rob Ford’s youth, he is only 44, and lower centre of gravity helped him defeat Hulk Hogan earlier today at FanExpoCanada in Toronto. The pre match breakdown, via The National Post, goes like this: This is the scene right after hizzoner smoked Mr. Hogan. WFDS

You of course are aware that the soon to be ex leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives is the biggest Buffalo Bills fan extant. Hometown team and all that, eh? Just want to let Tim Hudak know that if he is planning on brown bagging it out to Orchard Park

I canna make this stuff up. KVDR Denver reports that “In a meeting of the state’s Economic Opportunity Poverty Reduction Task Force Wednesday, Colorado State Sen. Vicki Marble (R) delivered a long monologue suggesting that the reason for poverty among certain minority groups was that they eat too much chicken

This is what low taxes and a competitive liquor industry gets one. 3 bottles for 9.90$. No health care but you are sooooo drunk that you don’t realize you are sick. I think that is the theory. America.WFDS

My understanding is Canberra, the capital of Australia, is the most boring capital in the western world. That said it comes as no surprise that The International Journal of Surgery Case Reports tells all that a 70 year old resident of that fair city decided to alleviate the boredom by

Proroguing Parliament. This has got a lot of people’s panties in a knot. It shouldn’t. Essentially what our beloved Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, is doing is delaying opening day from September 16th to mid October. The sky is not falling. I repeat: the sky is not falling. WFDS

August 16, 1977. I was sitting in my buddy Jeff Hamilton’s Honda Civic in front of a bowling alley in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan when Peter Summer of 13CJME broke the sad news that The King, Elvis Presley, had died at home in Memphis. We bowled in his honour. WFDS
