The Stumpy Cat has been rather busy of late, chasing mice, moles, voles and chipmunks out in the garden. But she’s sticking her cyber-head in now to meow at me.

Yes, this is satire. But it has a very large, uncracked grain of truth in it. Can you spot it?

A spoken-word poem worth taking to heart about just how unpleasant it is to be a woman in public. (And yes, I can vouch for just about everything she says, except maybe the bit about cigarettes; I’m a militant non-smoker.) BTW, if you think she’s paranoid and oversensitive, take a look at what’s “recommended” by […]

Funny, but actual Egyptians don’t think so: The Arab Spring, they say, isn’t about ballot boxes, it’s about the dignity of humanity. Something the Harper Government™ doesn’t respect, and probably never did. While we’re at it, let’s compare and contrast some other right and wrong ways to look at what Brigette did. First, the wrong […]
