Continue readingCanadian Political Viewpoints: Random Thoughts and Musings
A lot has happened since I took a bit of a sabbatical with the dawn of summer; and many of those events are worth talking about. Jack Layton’s temporary leave of absence to battle cancer (and our best thoughts are with Jack as he goes through this); th…
Continue readingMichael Coren: "It’s not about race. It’s about culture". Bullshit.
Dawg posted a video tonight I wish I had never seen. No, not a clip from the latest slasher flick. Worse. Michael Coren, using the meme begun by disgraced ‘historian’ David Starkey that it’s ‘not racism, it’s culture’, went on a riot of his o…

Unsurprisingly, God-bothering lunatic Michele Bachmann emerged triumphant in today’s Ames, Iowa straw poll winning 28.6 percent of the nearly 17,000 votes cast, narrowly edging out libertarian Ron Paul by 152 votes. Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty finished a distant third … Continue reading →
The Political Road Map: Where are we heading?Entry 2 -=- The Political RoadMap
Where are we heading 2.0: The economy, our political state and you on a daily basis. Some people may say…politics does not affect me, they talk and talk, but nothing they ever do will change my daily routine, how I think or more importantly how I choose to live my

Ok, excuse me for a moment while I get something geeky off my chest. Battlestar Galactica recently wrapped up after a tumultuous four-year run. Much to my surprise, the finale, which I considered some of the best made television I’ve ever seen, has been met by widespread frustration. For those

… with apologies to all of my Christian friends, and Laurence Stern. Yes, I know I recently offered this on Facebook with Stephen Harper’s name inserted, but I’m beginning to hate Doug Ford with the same level of intensity. Here goes:

In addition to a new database this blog also features an entirely new design that was cobbled together like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein. I want to take this time to thank the various sources of creative content I used to put this monstrosity together. First, the theme is built
Continue readingThe Wandering Joe: Official Relaunch
Consider this the official relaunch of my blog, and in a half-hearted way my re-engagement with politics. That may seem like a fairly empty gesture… but that’s largely because it is. I haven’t stopped having opinions in the last two years (or even stopped sharing them in a condescending fashion),

Toronto News: Retiring deputy chief calls G20 reaction overblown – thestar.comYou know where I’m going with this, so I’ll just let thwap and Lorne carry the ball on this one. They say it better than I can anyway.Hey, Tony? Don’t go away mad. Just go aw…
Continue readingThe Wandering Joe: The Wandering Jew
This may seem like an odd name for a blog, or at the very least a dire one so I figure it is probably a good idea to offer some insight. I chose the name “The Wandering Joe” for a couple of reasons; the name tickled me for certain, but

Why a progressive blogger trusts Republicans more than Democrats and Obama to follow through on their commitments. 
The Political Road Map: Capitalism and You: Riots and Public Unrest
Its Saturday August 13th and the world is burning up in the FLAMES OF UNREST!!!! ….or so the media made us think with the market tumbling and a flurry of rioting going on in London. After watching the coverage provided by various news agencies over the past few days, I

Missed this initially, but we figured that it wasn’t to late to share it with our readers:
Now why would Robbie try to have his posts on Stormfront removed?
Oh yeah! That thing about being arrested on suspicion of murder thing.
Robert Reitmeier and…

And Ektachromes. In an attempt to shed stuff I have purchased a slide/negative scanner and have been spending some time digitizing the tons and tons of little yellow plastic boxes I have full of slides.

I was just reading a comment on Dr. Dawg’s Blog that makes reference to a recent appearance by Michael Coren on Brian Lilley’s show, Byline. In an interview about the London riots, Coren makes a racist comment that violates both Canadian Broadcast Stan…

This is a great policy –– charities can never match salaries or benefits of private sector -– but once someone has the "taste" of charities and non-profits, even if they don't continue to work in the field, they will continue to vo…

I must admit that I was sceptical when a reader reported this, but there is Michael Coren, in all his ugly racist glory, @3:22. As “Canadian Patriot” (who has my apologies) says, we should all be submitting complaints to…

There is no comparison between the weight of opinion brought to the debate on the important issue of judicial independence by the Rt. Hon Beverly McLachlin, Canada’s top jurist, and the Hon. Jason Kenney, whose legal credentials are… are… according…

Crappy weekend, everyone! Well. How about those riots in Merry Old England, eh? Looks like London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down…and not just in London, my fair ladies (and gents). Shit is hitting the fan all over the place. And here are some of the choicest turd-nuggets of the past week, goin’ […]
