It’s Monday, which can only mean that my good friend William Matthews and I have made you another great movie! It’s a quick one, because it’s so beautiful outside I didn’t want to keep you any longer than necessary. Thanks again to William Matthews, for his talent and awesome videos!

Paulitical Satire: Jerk of the Week Award Goes to James Moore
So, maybe Justin Trudeau was listening when I tweeted him this week, asking him when we could expect his hunger strike. Or maybe he read my recent post about Katimavik. While this response isn’t quite a hunger strike, it’s good to see him stand up for a program that needs
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Canada 2012 Federal Budget – The Top 3 Sexiest, Most Angering Things in a Boring Document
So, many MANY people checked out my recent post on my initial reaction to the Canadian Federal budget, and the unfair and unwarranted cut to a treasured program: Katimavik. Having spent this past weekend with my good friend over at www.richardallen.ca I’m even sadder, as it seems that the shutdown will be undertaken
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: A New Blogger Introduces Himself – Movie Monday
Hello All! Today, I’ve decided that rather than write I’m going to provide you with some insight into what I do best: talk. This is something I hope to do every week or two. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Enjoy! The first of many “Movie Mondays”!
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Canadian Federal Government Budget: A Lesson in Politics and a Day to be Sad
So, when the dust settles, and the lights turn off in the TV studios, all that will be left is you, me and a bunch of axed programs and projects the Federal Government used to do. It’s a sad day in Canada. You all know that I’m a political junky, and
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: A Taste of Things to Come?
So, my friend over at www.nuncscio.com remarked to me a couple of weeks back that Canadian politics tends to be about 5-10 years behind that of our American cousins. He, being an intelligent man, would have put many caveats on that statement if he had known that I was going to
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Please, oh Please Let Rob Ford Run a Slate Next Time
So, in case you missed it THIS was on the cover of today’s MetroNews Toronto, and it made me almost giddy with glee. Let’s leave out for a second the dramatic amount of arrogance involved in most of these statements, but what a fantastic miscalculation of the current political climate. What I mean to
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: The Natural Oversimplification of Very Complex Things
So, I was online perusing some political cartoons, which I do when I need a humours spin on the daily vulgarities of politics. For those Torontonians under a rock, yesterday was a particularly messy day, with unending shouting matches at both Toronto City Council and in the Ontario Legislature. It
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Who’s Tired of Double Standards?
So, as I wrote this title, I realized that this post could have been referring to just about anything, so let me clarify: I’m talking about the double standard we’re witnessing in the debate regarding environmental organizations accepting some international funding.I was talking to my friend who runs a great blog over
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Politics Has Changed
In case you didn’t already know (and really, why would you if you don’t live in Toronto…or even if you do), today is by-election day in the late Jack Layton’s riding of Toronto-Danforth. Here’s some news and some other news from today covering it if you feel the need to
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: March Madness – Paulitical Styles
So, I recently became interested in fantasy sports. I know, I know…typical guy stuff (or, insert gender normative comment here). But I’m not writing today to tell you about how my bracket for NCAA basketball this year is super risky, but awesome, or how I’m just barely holding on to
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Now This, This Makes Me Furious
So, I read this news article today, and it’s really REALLY stuck in my craw, to the point where I’ve been so angry I haven’t even known where to start writing. When I read lines like “One badgeless officer, face covered with a gas mask and visor, apparently kicking a
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Quick Hit: A Great Rebuttal to More Subway/Rob Ford Nonsense
So, there’s a flyer going around from a crappy group called S.A.F.E telling us the “truth” about Rob Ford’s subway plan. Side note: how self satisfied do you think the people who came up with the name for this group were. But I digress.I found a fantastic rebuttal to this
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Beware the Troll Under the Bridge
So, I spend a fair amount of time reading various news sites, both well known and otherwise, and am generally greatful to Our Glorious Ruler the Internet for all that he/she bestows. But there is one phenomenon so repugnant, so totally contrary to all things good and right and nice
Continue readingPaulitical Satire: Vitamin D – Where the "D" Stands for Awesome Weather
Good morning fair readers…and how are you feeling this morning? I bet I know the answer: you’re feeling great!Most of my audience is Canadian, and so they are right now, as I write this, taking part in a hallowed and honoured Canadian tradition: the realization that while winter may suck,

Apple Sheep – fall in! The next exceedingly incremental step of the latest Apple generative tech monolith is available. Blah blah blah better video, better camera. But hoo-boy, if you like the Ipad(3?) then just wait till the ipad(s?) comes out. I would have focused more on the generative
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Christian Patriarchy featuring Matt : Ball of Slime in Training
Even Jebus thinks you are bug-frak crazy. Christianity is the religion that keeps on giving. By “giving” I mean keeps on festering. Christianity exudes an oozing rancid pus that encrapulates and taints those exposed to its toxic effects. Dogmatic religious beliefs, like those espoused by Christian Patriarchy, are the putrefying
