Says it all.  We need someone who can drive Mayor Crackhead out of office, I’d say, and we need that someone soon.

So, PKP. I’ve never met him, I’ve never seen him, I’ve never heard from him.  That’s the way I like my media moguls: totally invisible. In my years at the Sun – on air and in print – no one has ever told me what I could or couldn’t write.  Not

Isn’t that a nice illustration? The Internet is fun. Anyway. Hit 15,000 Twitter followers sometime over the weekend. If (a) I didn’t have a lingering Man Cold and (b) Winter 2014 didn’t go on and on and on, I would celebrate or something. Instead, I will leave you with this unrelated,

From “Chris,” email Roadhammer_@live.ca, IP 24.138.62.169. He’s somewhere in Nova Scotia, looks like. I know you won’t approve this, but you still have to read it. I hope to HELL that some illegal with a firearm shoots you, takes your wallet and then robs your house because he now has

[This is a reworked/expanded version of the post I wrote a few days ago. Quite a few of you claimed to like it, so I worked it into 625 or so words. Cheers, W.] Now that Quebec’s separatist government has called an election – and now that there is a

Check what this genius tweeted tonight, then later deleted. Wow. Then again, the possibility that he lives in a different time zone than the rest of us may explain a few things. .

“I’ll say to young women…learn how to play golf. Because you will find it’s immensely advantageous to your career.” Those kinds of views are indeed “frankly out of date.” So is he. He’s yesterday’s man. From the picture worth 1,000 words file: John and the Fords (to whom he donated thousands)

There are many awesome posters out there. This was one of my favorites for today. .

Here, on the Reformatories adopting Justin’s position on pot and MP expenses – after previously mocking him on both.  Holy flip-flop, Batman:   And here, about seven minutes in:

Sigh. Well, you guys know I – like Messrs. Chretien, Romanow and Broadbent, among others – favour progressives finally coming together.  So that we stop splitting the vote, and so we finally defeat Mr. Harper. You also know that I believe another referendum is increasingly likely – and that we

To wit: “Detectives are investigating allegations of drug use and drug trafficking and trying to determine if there was an organized, aggressive attempt to retrieve the video of Mayor Ford smoking crack cocaine and making racially charged and homophobic remarks.” What that sentence doesn’t say is this: The detectives who

They’re also my current favourite band of all time: choreographed bubblegum pop fused with hardcore? Nobody has ever done that before! The old metalhead at the start, horrified by what has happened to his genre? That’s my brother and his grizzled friends, realizing the genius and might of Babymetal, and

Straight edge, for the next 40 days. Mayor Crackhead, care to join me? We can both submit to blood tests at the end. .

Wonder no more. .

If the separatist Parti Quebecois government calls an election “soon, soon” – and if, as many expect, they win a majority government – strap on your seat belts. We are in for another bumpy ride, Canada. In recent years, of course, it has been become de rigueur for the commentariat

As Russia and the Ukraine slip towards war – and as the West looks on, unable or unwilling to do anything – it’s easy to forget that nice things still happen. The birth of babies, for instance. Everyone likes babies. They are innocent and helpless and they make us smile.

Wikipedia is a joke, but here is a bit found thereon that I suspect has been accessed many times in the past few days: “When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the newly independent Ukraine had on its territory what was the third largest strategic nuclear weapons arsenal in the

Following the great global recession of 2008-2009, the game plan of the Right was clear: repair the tattered flag of capitalism, fight any modest regulation of the banking system, and restore six-figure bonuses to all those 25-year-old millionaire hedge fund managers. Oh, and vilify the Occupy kids. The Occupy movement
