Now, Peggy Wente, It’s Not Nice to Slam An Ideological Sister Like Kathy Shaidle

The names of the tweeters and retweeters were . . . → Read More: The right’s furious, desperate attempts to discredit the Occupy movement with charges of anti-Semitism

Southwest Airlines follies: “It’s a go” not the same as “I’ve got to go”

Southwest Airlines is the product of a true southern sensibility. Meaning there is little sense – or heart – in anything it does. It represents all that is ugly about the US south. Especially lately. It is making a name for itself not for excelling in air service but for evicting passengers for . . . → Read More: Southwest Airlines follies: “It’s a go” not the same as “I’ve got to go”

Maybe It’s Just Me, But Isn’t The (O)NDP Supposed To Be a Forward Thinking Party?

I did see this pic of the orange stiletto on some of my facebook friends’ profile pics and wondered what it was. For them, I thought it was amusing; they were celebrating fall; the advent of Halloween; stuff like that.  After all, I’m in Quebec and not privy to all . . . → Read More: Maybe It’s Just Me, But Isn’t The (O)NDP Supposed To Be a Forward Thinking Party?

Quebec May Open Safe Injection Sites A L’Insite And Compassion Club

It would be about time and why shouldn’t we? We are, after all, a province of progress or supposed to be.

Conservatives have a very well defined hierarchy of idiocy. The National Post is about midway down the pack, excelling at Disingenuous, Lacks Moral Clarity and Will Do Anything to Further a Conservative Meme. Not to mention the bottom of the pack for Empathy.
