Not because she isn’t married to a wonderful, hard-working, decent and faithful Irish boy. She is, and he is. They are going

Freddy Pompeii of the Viletones died last night. RIP. Here’s SFH paying tribute to his band.

…by my pal Andy Gregg. Cool. 

This little video has been seen hundreds of times by folks.  We hear more about Finn than anything else, these days. So, naturally, I decided to add Beethoven (the glorious Ninth) to his now-famous leap.  It’s Friday, after all.

…everyone who is sane knows that.  He is a draft dodger.  He is a racist.  He sexually assaults women and brags about it.  He violated the Cuba embargo. He has long been linked to organized crime. He condones violence against those who disagree with him.  He’s had multiple bankruptcies.  His

The BC Liberals won. They got more seats. And they may still pick up enough in recounts to give them a majority.  The BC Greens won. They grew their popular vote the most and hold the balance of power – for now.  The BC NDP lost. They had a double-digit

History has a way of repeating itself, you dumb orange sonofabitch. 

I think it will be a good night for my friends.

Here’s three things that the Prime Minister said when he announced his party’s policies as they relate to indigenous people: To begin, I would like to recognize the Haundenosanee, on whose traditional territory we are gathering. And: …we will do more to make sure that the voices of your Nations
