bastard.logic: IOKIYAR to Infinity.
Ok, so I know IOKIYAR is (and has been for ages) SOP in DC. Still, the manner in which the Village took Rosengate oh-so seriously (and turned it up TO ELEVEN) but is now suddenly backpeddling re: The Nuge’s semi-coherent call for Obama’s assassination (gosh, campaign surrogates sure do say

Gee, I can’t imagine why the gender gap between the Democratic Party and the GOP has widened into a yawning chasm: HUNT: Let me ask you this. The Democrats of course say you are waging, the GOP is waging a war on women. I know you don’t agree with that,

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s signature health care reform bill, had its three days in the Supreme Court last week, and by most accounts it did not go very well. Nothing is certain until the Court delivers its ruling in June. But if it does

exxon-gas-flaring-photo01.jpg The debate over flaring unconventional oil and gas in shale basins across the United States has suddenly heated up immensely (excuse the bad pun).

Despite a pair of humiliating set-backs in Alabama and Mississippi last week, Mitt Romney is still on course to stumble over the finish line in the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Despite an overwhelming desire to find anyone else up to the job, the Anybody But Romney options have

Disclosure, I haven’t watched the Kony 2012 video. I think I’m one of about 12 people in Canada who haven’t. I did catch some of it on network news however, and like any person with a heart and a pulse, I was sickened. It is unbelievable to me the atrocities that continue to

With an all-too-familiar rhythm, the drums of war are sounding. The target? An authoritarian Middle Eastern regime set on acquiring exceptionally destructive weapons. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. This time around the country is Iran, and the weapons allegedly being developed are nuclear. The Israeli government (although

Netanyahu is visiting Canada and Stephen Harper is bending over backwards to please Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is building a case to bomb Iran and its nuclear facilities. Stephen Harper is reassuring Netanyahu of his loyalty. A similar case for WMD is being made for Iran as was the case before invading Iraq.

The Whitehouse gets in on the video circulation of the latest Obama singing moment. And why not? It’s a great contrast with the Republican leadership campaign that seems to be endlessly mired in social conservative hatorade. By the by…can a Harper musical photo-op be far off? Channel changing and all

#gop #obama #terrorism I’ll just call it right now – if Obama is re-elected and the Democrats re-take congress, you will see a dramatic increase in far-right domestic terrorism. Unfair? True! Look for a dramatic large scale terror attack on the scale of Oklahoma City or worse. I say this

Where do they dig up these cretins? I mean, is it really possible that in the 21st century these guys can be the front runners of one of America’s two mainstream parties to be the next president? Seriously? On the bright side, I can’t see how the Republicans can possibly

NA-Pipeline-Map-Theodora.png Damned if we do, damned if we don't – this is the CliffsNotes version of the ongoing Keystone XL pipeline debate. President Barack Obama recently halted TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline project, which would bring tar sands crude, or dilluted bitumen ("dilbit") from Alberta, B.C. through the heart of the U.S., to

Anybody who follows hockey knows that good goaltenders sometimes live in their own world. Boston Bruins star goaltender Tim Thomas reinforced that image with his refusal to join his teammates in the celebration of the Bruins Stanley Cup victory at the White House.
