Boys ‘n’ girls, I bet you’re all waiting for the punchline now. Stevie Spiteful has decided to throw Quebec a bone, so to speak, to kind of distract us from the hiring of Angie Perischilli, the unilingual Quebec basher as his new mouthpiece to replace Dimitri Soudas.

Now you are taking that weapon and trying to turn it on Islam. It’s religion, son. It what religions . . . → Read More: Tarek Fatah: “What’s happened is that any attempt to attack Islamism is portrayed as racism. It’s very disturbing.”

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s top priority last year was to stay in power while touting his economic stewardship, looking for a “graceful exit” from Afghanistan and avoiding any “sexy initiatives” on climate change, diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Canada wrote in . . . → Read More: “Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s top priority last year was to stay in power while touting his economic stewardship”
Continue readingYes, boys ‘n’ girls, Angelo Perischilli is replacing Dimitri Soudas as Stevie Spiteful’s mouthpiece. I guess all that Harpercon sucking up and Liberal derangement syndrome has paid off. No, he doesn’t parle en Francais, which leads me to believe that Steve really doesn’t care much for French speaking Canadians, particularly Quebecers. I mean, if . . . → Read More: Toronto Star’s Token Con Cheerleader Angelo Perischilli to Become New Harper Mouthpiece
Continue readingI’ve always respected Susan Delacourt. But tonight she tweeted something I found offensive. Not just to me but to all of us who read paid journalists. She promoted a circling the wagons defence of Christie Blatchford, which paradoxically referenced George Orwell in Blatchford’s favour, in the form of an ugly column written seemingly by a knowing . . . → Read More: Susan Delacourt and the circling of the journalism wagons

In what sounds like a scenario out of your dream horror flick, imagine Blatchford, Will, Noonan, Wente, Kay ink devoured by bacteria, never to serve their right-wing masters again.

This video defines ‘blowhard’ – Mark Bonokoski in a jealous rage over the attention given to Jack Layton on his passing. These guys just can’t stand a lefty taking up media space they feel they alone deserve to occupy. It’s driving. them. insane.

Continue readingYesterday, Christie Blatchford wrote a column for the National Post full of back handed compliments to Jack Layton on the day his death. Between the lines, however, lay a great streak of right-winged opportunism, attacking the man and his party for their beliefs and actions.

“By the end of today’s news cycle… …there will be no part of his anatomy left unkissed… “
