Woo! It is lock out time for the NHL and not a moment to soon. The great showdown between millionaires is about to begin supported by the gullible hockey fan. Just take in the love they have for fans as they gouge you for parking, beverages and food. Oh

Dead Wild Roses: Rape – Victim Blaming 101
Let us establish something right here, right now and forever. Whenever a women says in public they’ve been raped they are taking a huge chance. The patriarchal fuckwittery that surrounds women speaking up against those that have violated them is sickening. It is not her fault for what happened

The manosphere welcomes you and your sparkling brethren. The red pen of justice is vibrating in anticipation of this particular post. Admittedly, when going into the “Manosphere” it makes it shamefully easy to brandish the RPJ. I again make mention of the insipid nature of the WordPress reader function because

Ah, political satire. Filed under: Politics Tagged: Feminism, Rant, Republican “strategy”, War on Women

So, most of us have been there at some point, standing at an Ikea asking ourselves “do I need yet another Billy bookcase?” We know it will be of the lowest quality, and maybe even break during our home construction process. But it’s cheap…it will do the job…and we can
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: We Need Activist Government NOW More Than Ever!
So, the past couple of weeks have given us some stark and sometimes troubling reminders why we not only STILL need governments of all shapes and sizes, but also why we need governments that are truly interested in their citizens’ well beings when it comes to our economics and environment. Now,
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: All the F*cks I don’t give about the NHL and the NHLPA
Sadfaced millionaires and sadfaced billionaires are fighting it out right now about how to divide the outrageous plunder made in the National Hockey League. Boo-Frickety-Hoo! The players in the NHL are overpaid. Chasing a rubber disk around a rink should not be multi-millionaire territory. I’m thinking important occupations that improve

Christian ‘morals’ plus the abortion issue and dudes, you know where we are headed…. I’m not sure if I like the “reader” function that wordpress offers as a part of its blogging platform. Searching the Abortion tag seems to consistently raise my blood pressure because of beastly shite that I
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: They Added WHAT to the Dictionary!?
So, every year (sometimes twice a year) the powers that be at Miriam Webster and a smattering of other dictionaries go through a process of adding new words with formal definitions into the dictionary. While each time this happens I tend to just shake my head, this year was particularly

Left or Right…there is no in-between. The Toronto SunSo, when I started this blog less than half a year ago I never would have imagined linking to the Sun as often as I have. But, true to form for this space, I look to talk about the issues that are important

So, sometime really soon I’m going to have to take a serious break from writing about Mayor Ford…our “embarrasser-in-chief”. I mean, I’ve already written this and this. But, like George W. Bush did for John Stewart, Robby is a gift that keeps on giving.Still, I seriously considered taking a pass

So, our esteemed videographer William Matthews and I wanted to try something a little different this week, and so we’d like to introduce a new segment called “Get Over it”. In this episode, we’re going to cover a few hot topics that people should probably stop worrying about and just

So, we started this week with some talk about the Olympics, and I took my usual turn and looked at the issues people weren’t paying enough attention to, or really caring about. The feedback I got was really good, and I appreciate all the kind words about my triple jump.
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Teach the Controversy
Some of what I dislike about creationists stems from their basic epistemological premises. For instance the idea that belief in an idea ipso facto makes it correct. The harder you believe in something, the more correct you are. Of course this idea is just one of the pathologically shitty ideas

So, anyone who frequents this site will know that I am a fan of Warren Kinsella’s. Yes yes, I know that many of you think he’s a douche, but this is my blog and I’ll like who ever I want. (ummm…na na na na, boo boo…?).Anyway, Mr. Kinsella, my second

An American hurdler, Dawn Harper put up this picture on Twitter to protest restrictions on sponsorship at the Olympics So, in case you haven’t noticed…it’s the summer Olympics. Oh, what’s that, you weren’t living under a rock?? Awesome, then you already know this! Given all that’s going on with the
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – Why not religion?
I like the idea of religion. Faith comforts the mind, providing a solid defense against the existential questions that linger for all of us*. Why not surrender to the warm and fuzzy religious mentality that has all the tough questions answered with a certainty that even the best argumentation
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: I need the Mosquito Death Star, Stat!
I was so pumped when I first saw the TED talk about the system designed with digital cameras and lasers that could burn the little blood suckers right out of the air. That was in 2010. Have they done anything with it yet after inventing the darn system? Nope. You

A symbol for an end to violence So, i’m on the progressive side of most things Paulitical, you’ve probably noticed that by now. I’m pretty up front about it too, as evidenced by this, this and this. Thus, when I think about the United Nations I know that I’m supposed
