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.
Then you have Sun Media. It’s right there in the basement, . . . → Read More: Another step down the Conservative evolutionary scale. Sun runs homophobic McVety ad. Bonus Shaidle charm offensive.

You were there for Egypt, you covered the hell out of Libya, sickeningly slick graphics and foreboding intro music and all. But when our biggest trading . . . → Read More: Canada’s Shame
Continue readingI find it not a little humorous that the National Post is back pedalling furiously over their publishing Charles McVety’s repulsive homophobic ad. Even more humorous is the Post’s high-minded explanation of why it published an ad that should never have been published in the first place.
The most humorous though is how . . . → Read More: National Post and free speech

Continue readingWall Street’s famous “Charging Bull” has been incarcerated — for his own good, of course. Because this hasn’t been a typical 10 days in the cold, constantly pounding, never sleeping heart of international finance that is his home. In a testament to Twitterpower, the message to “#occupy” New York’s financial district instantly spread far and […]
Boys ‘n’ girls, the Harpercons want to hold a parliamentary hearing regarding the future of the CBC, basically. And guess who their star witnesses will be? Yup! You guessed it! Pierre-Karl Peladeau, Ezzy Levant, and of course, king McCarthyist of the CBC watch, Brian Lilley-white. Oh yeah! Like they’re going to reliable, impartial . . . → Read More: And Now, Introducing the Witness for The Harpercon Prosecution, Fox News North!

You remember Ms Masicotte, that poor surviving victim of ex-Col. Russell Williams who was left bound and naked for five hours by police? Yep, ol’ . . . → Read More: Chrissie Bitchford is At it Again!

Not that I condone this kind of thing, but I have noticed the tea-party shriekers in full force on Twitter all looking for fainting couches on Twitter this morning after this story broke.
However, . . . → Read More: Is It Just Me…
Continue readingWell, not the real Sun News Network. But 22 Minutes’ Geri Hall does a bang-on impression of a Krista Erickson Fox News North type host ‘quizzing’ Margaret Atwood. It goes something like this:
Host: “Don’t libaries (sic) cause cancer”?
Atwood: “Of course not”.
Host “Oh, I didn’t realize you were a medical doctor? . . . → Read More: BREAKING. Fox News North quotes Margaret Atwood: “Libaries (sic) cause cancer”
Continue readingDan Gardner goes in-depth on what is really a simple story. The Liberals established a solid economic foundation, preparing Canada in the case of hard times … or Conservatives. Both have happened. Once in power, the Conservatives promptly took the credit for Canada’s economic stewardship. As the country’s deficit continues to grow and government . . . → Read More: Vancouver Sun: Canada’s economic miracle exposed

(I only wish I had a pukeworthiness rating system so I could rate it as “Triple Projectile Pukeworthy”.) On we […]
Tasha Keirridin is a frightened woman. She is terrified of everyday life. She wants a man around to protect her from the inconveniences of life, the petty criminals and especially the big bad Muslim men with big black beards (emphasis mine).

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

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.
