There’s so much to blog about, with the US election days away and the Republican clown-car/horror-show drama in the news daily. It’s been difficult to decide what to blog about: Republicans purging Democrats from the voter lists, Republicans claiming the misspelling of “Obama” on ballots as “Osama” was a typo,

My Canada Includes Justice: Palin Campaign’s Quote of the Day
If you’re running for the vice-presidency of the US, but are too stupid to understand (or bother finding out) what the job entails, you’d better at least look good in front of the cameras. Sarah Palin understands this – if nothing else. So lest the common American think they can

Before the 2008 federal election fades into memory, I need to document an issue that cannot be forgotten. It is the scandal over CTV’s coverage of the Stephane Dion interview, and more importantly – how CTV used the footage to attack Dion and the liberal campaign.For the record:Steve Murphy, CTV’s

As someone who has sat back and watched US Federal politics for a long time, and as someone who has prayed for the change I had hoped Barack Obama would bring, I am now officially putting my hopes for a better world in the freezer for the next few years.

Recently I have exposed myself (partly by choice, partly by circumstance) to more CNN than usual, and a lot more Fox News. I’ve learned a lot about the news this way. Apparently, all one has to do is get to the “facts” first and then have a couple of people

On today’s Billoreilly.com, Bill shows off his historical knowledge (which is a momentary break from his utter mangling of current events) by comparing Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin to Vlad Tepeş, AKA Vlad The Impaler, AKA Dracula. Bram Stoker based the character of Dracula on the historical Vlad, who was

The traditional logic is that veteran and Republican John McCain, simply because he is a veteran and a Republican, should naturally earn the vote of US military personnel, especially those serving in Iraq. In fact, when it comes to campaign contributions, Obama has received five times the donation dollars that

There are so many obstacles on the path to finding One’s True Love. You might think you aren’t attractive enough, or have too much emotional baggage, or are hanging out in the wrong bars. Of course, there is also the tragedy of being unable to attract a mate because you’ve

Once, a long time ago, I was in a Labatt’s Beer focus group. I got twenty bucks and a free beer out of the deal. I doubt that Labatt’s took my answers to heart (“which of these abstract blue splashes makes you want beer more?”) but I understood the process.

Dear Blogger.com: I love you guys. Really, I do. A lot of us do. But you’ve recently handed me (and it appears, hundreds of other bloggers) a real pain in the ass in the form of evil, rampaging robots. More specifically, you’ve apparently unleashed a horde of hungry ‘bots designed

Consider this before you heave that big sigh of relief that the price of a barrel of oil is down a couple of bucks: Chevron just announced a record profit of 11 billion dollars in the last quarter. Exxon is currently making over $89,000 per minute. And you? Where is

Dad was always ruining Family Games Night with unwelcome commentaries on economic theory… The ongoing cyberspace PR disaster over Scrabble on Facebook continues, and brings with it (unintentionally) an important point about political theory.
