How do you justify police brutality on the level of last year’s G20 summit? And how do you justify turning Canada into a most unCanadian police state? Well, it helps if you get the media on side, as whoever infiltrated an “anarchist” gathering and took this top-seekwit hidden recording found

What you’re not being told about Libya
Bob Powell of Above Top Secret neatly unpacks the Libyan revolution-that-wasn’t. Some interesting shockers I hadn’t heard yet include the presence of al-Qaida, apparently operating with CIA blessing, in the “National Transitional Council”, and the presence of Qatari troops, in their own country’s uniform and speaking with distinctly non-African accents,
Continue readingVenezuela’s gold comes home
Don’t expect to read anything good about this in your lamestream English media. And don’t expect to see these pictures, either: Citizens of Caracas hold up a banner thanking President Chávez for bringing home the gold in the name of their sovereignty. A welcoming crowd lines the streets of Caracas
Continue readingPeter Kent, ignorant SupposiTory hack
Q. How does one get to be Minister of the Environment without any scientific knowledge whatsoever? A. By being a faithful, appointed HarpoCon hack beforehand, and then coasting into office on that. BTW, Peter Kent hates Venezuela. So it’s no surprise that he has scant respect for anything on Earth

Image by Tigana Too. Yes, my Latin American amig@s, it’s true. Nosotr@s, l@s canadienses, somos el OTRO patio trasero de los EEUU. We’re the US’s OTHER backyard, and we’ve been just as much subject to their imperialism as you. So far, we’ve been luckier keeping them off our necks. There
Continue readingAloha, APEC. Love, the 99%.
Hawaiian singer Makana actually slipped this one below the radar on the 1%er leaders yesterday. Here’s the story: Honolulu – A change in the programmed entertainment at last night’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gala left a few world leaders slack-jawed, though most seemed not to notice that anything was amiss. During the gala dinner, renowned […]

You really have to feel for this girl sometimes. Apparently her much-scrutinized on-again-off-again romance is off, for good: She is one of the most desirable women in the world, the beautiful younger sister of the future Queen of England with an appealingly mischievous glint in her eye. So when it was reported last week that […]

Guess who wins.
Bonus: Conan O’Brien may be about to WHAT?
Conan needs an envelope. And the crapaganda whores need a new scriptwriter. Or SEVERAL. And they need to all agree NOT to use the same fucking cliché.
Continue readingDear Mississippi…
Sorry to resort to pictures, but it seems that an awful lot of anti-choicers have difficulty reading. Amazing how many of these unsentient adults there are in Mississippi Goddamn, and how many of them take seriously the notion that a just-fertilized egg is a fully formed human being, capable of everything already and yet still […]
Continue readingToronto Zoo’s gay penguins go viral
By now you’ve surely heard of Buddy and Pedro, the two adorable little African penguins at the Toronto Zoo who’ve struck up an adorable little same-sex pair bond but are being separated in order to mate their “top-notch genes” with those of eligible females? Well, their plight has gone viral, thanks to the famous Taiwanese […]

Dear Brendan O’Neill: You, sir, are a fucking idiot. How’d you like it if I found out where you lived? What would you say if I ferreted out everything about you, from what you eat, to what drugs you do, to how and whom you like to shag, and published all the above right here, […]

Oh, Chile. What is happening to you? When the capitalist whores are literally coming out of the woodwork, you KNOW you’ve got a corrupt, ruined country. And look! Here comes one now: The famous “lady of company”, María Carolina, was invited to appear on the TV program, “True Lies”, where, true to her style, she […]
Continue readingHarper Government™ in pocket of NRA, gun manufacturers. Also, stupid on crime.
It’s getting shittier than ever to be a Canadian, and we are all hanging our heads and shaking them in shame. Because “free” trade (note the quotes) isn’t enough to sell our asses downriver, now Harpo & Co. have sold us out to the gun lobby. Yes, really. The powerful Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle used […]
Continue readingBeware that “haunted house”. And “Jesus Ween”, too.
Christ, what is it with the Religious Reich? Bad enough that they had to steal all our Old Religion holidays out from under us and try to turn them into things they are not. Now they’re relying on them as a source of crapaganda, with heavy overtones of gore-porn: PASADENA, TX (KTRK) — A local […]
Continue readingStupid Sex(ist) Tricks: How to smell like a pelotudo
Everybody in North America knows (or SHOULD know) that Axe Body Spray is the masking odor for (pre)adolescent male sexual insecurity, immaturity and general lack of appeal. It’s the sort of stuff that you want to avoid if you’re a guy, and avoid a guy who smells of it if you’re a gal. So when […]

Man, that Ike. What a commie-pinko socialist. How the hell did he ever become a Republican? (And speaking of which: Why is that party not deader than the friggin’ dodo by now?)

Man, that Adam Smith. Some “Father of Capitalism” this commie-pinko socialist wealth redistributor is turning out to be, eh?
