Oh, Mr. Gerry Nicholls, what have you done?
Do you live or work in an Ivory Tower, completely isolated from any sense of reality?
I know I don’t live in an Ivory Tory, but perhaps you do? And so do most of those living in the Sun Media Batcave and their readers it . . . → Read More: Oh Mr. Nicholls! I Do Believe Your Freudian Slip is Showing!
Continue readingThat’s the charge being laid by conservative bloggers and NOW about this week’s cover photo of Michele Bachmann, which depicts her as she so often appears with wide eyes. I obviously don’t think so, having blogged about it here and at Let Freedom Rain. It’s an actual photo – not . . . → Read More: Is the Newsweek cover photo (and story title) of Michele Bachmann sexist?
Continue readingIt takes a special person to be proud of being the brunt of the blame from S&P downgrade, but the members of the Wisconsin tea party are such special people. During a TP event in Fond du Lac, about 200 baggers cheered proudly when it was announced they were being blamed for the downgrade.

Continue readingJust in case you didn’t get that the first time around. This is a point the Democrats (and progressive media/bloggers need to hammer) for the next few weeks. But they won’t. The right is massed with talking points blaming the left for the defeat. But the text of the S&P downgrade doesn’t specifically call out the Democratic . . . → Read More: S&P on downgrade: “…the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act.”
Continue readingIt’s been amusing, if not a little sad, to see the right wing trying to outdo each other criticizing Obama for having a birthday party. They’re all pissed but none more so than Fox News. There were African American people at the party! And no jobs were created. Can you hear the dog whistle? Be . . . → Read More: More Onion than the Onion. Fox News reports on black hip hop birthday for Obama.
Continue readingCanada has been largely free from terror attacks experienced by other western nations at the hands of Islamic extremists, thanks in large part to the Liberals’ refusal to engage in the gratuitous invasion of Iraq. While we have experienced mostly home-grown terrorism over the years, the biggest threat to our future could be . . . → Read More: Will Harper jeopardize Canada’s status as ‘lowest terror risk among western economies’?
Continue readingThe Daily Mail, another one of those disreputable papers from the UK, has a rather strange profile of the National Post (so appropriately yellow in its colour design) founder. Strange, because it is so revealing not just of Mr. Black but of its oh so British author, who can’t decide if she is a gossip . . . → Read More: Conrad Black: guilty as hell – of being a pig, a prig and a sleazy fraud.

The title pretty much explains how I feel about the tweets and the general reactions from the blogosphere and . . . → Read More: Witch Hunt On Nycole Turmel Shows How Much of Canada Really Doesn’t Get The Bloc Quebecois, Forgets Certain Precedents, And Priorities Screwed

She was more than likely the biggest hit of the day and the evening. She seemed to be a . . . → Read More: Mary Trapani Hynes AKA Next Mayor of Toronto?
Continue readingAs many Torontonians would know, today is the day City Council is having a meeting with constituents to discuss cutting ‘gravy’. Poor long suffering Giorgio Mammoliti, he apparently is longing for his pillow and blanky. He’s not a happy camper, to say the least.

We all know about Michael Coren, pretty much implying that those kids at the Norwegian Labour Party Youth Camp on Utoya Island deserved their fate for being too left winged and too critical of Israel, in addition to . . . → Read More: What is This? The Most Right Wingnut Contest of Evul?

He seems to be bitching about too many libraries in Etobicoke and not enough Timmy Horton’s. Oh and he hasn’t a clue as to who Margaret Atwood is.

Continue readingClass. The new Toronto. The new millennium of unbridled Conservatism is upon us. They do what they want, when they want and the law be damned. With our media protecting them, it will only get worse. There’s only so much a single local paper can do. Good on the Star.
According to the post, . . . → Read More: Rob Ford, caught talking on cell phone while driving, gives mother and daughter the finger
Continue readingToday’s NatPo column by Jonathan Kay shows how he is as guilty as any right wing journalist in exploiting the current climate of fear and hate against the left. He is not the only one. His paper promulgates hate for the left on a ongoing basis. It unabashedly promotes the Conservative party 24/7. But today’s . . . → Read More: No Jonathan Kay, Mark Steyn is not a “thoughtful, mainstream thinker”
Continue readingWith echoes of Krista Erickson snaking her arms in imitation of dance, Harper is doing his own particular jig to stop artist Franke James from expressing her view of the Conservatives’ dismantling of environmental controls. James is the victim of the Con machine trying to silence her work by doing everything in its power behind the backs . . . → Read More: Conservatives: controlling the message is paramount even when it’s art

Yep, he said that. And I must say, I agree. At least about the ‘leftists’ part. We are definitely of this earth. As for those non-leftists floating around in the ether, good luck to you!

The media, fed by right wing pundits and bloggers, does the full knee-jerk reaction, wondering aloud which brown-skinned, Islamic organization is responsible.
