No Washington Post, DO NOT fire Jennifer Rubin
The left needs her. Rubin is so wrong, so misguided, so racist, that she denigrates the right with every word she writes. The disgraced blogger is one of the biggest…

Friday Morning Funnies: ‘Australia’s Sarah Palin’ supports Jews because they ‘follow Jesus Christ’

Flash from LFR past: Sun News Network and the emasculation of the North American right-wing male.

The ‘catch’ in CRTC’s dismissal of Sun News Network

Dennis Farina RIP. No longer available to play Vic Toews.
One of the funniest, most profane character actor of all time has died. His Jimmy Serrano of ‘Midnight Run’ never fails to get me laughing. “You and that other dummy…
Man, Licia Corbella is a shitty journalist
I haz free speech UPDATE: In light of the controversy ignited by Calgary Herald’s most out-of-touch journo, blaming Vancouver for Kelly Montieth’s death, I thought I’d go back in LFR’s…
