So how are the Conservatives doing?
Fine, thank you. Spending is up 22 percent the last five years. Pot busts were up 14 percent in 2010. Harper’s tantrum wins an expensive new shiny paint job on…

Herman Cain chickens out
Not such a smart move, Mr. Cain. Cancelling an interview because cameras will be present is a cowardly, badly-timed move that may sink his already-sinking campaign. It also says everything…
Why I love Pat Martin
Right wingers hate him and many progressives think he’s a loud mouth fool. Me on the other hand think he’s one of the only politicians who speaks for me. His…
Why I still read Huffington Post (US version): genius headlines
Like this: It pisses me off so much. Here we have the greatest wave ever in favour of the progressive movement in the form of Occupy and nobody is getting…
Freddie Mac employee Newt Gingrich tries to worm his way out of another fix
Psst, did I forget to mention Freddie Mac? Now that it’s public knowledge Newt Gingrich’s favourite villain Freddie Mac actually paid the disgraced Speaker $1.6 million for lobbying ‘advice’, I…
Homeland Security coordinated attacks on Occupy in a dozen cities throughout USA
Wonkette wonders if we all remember when the Department of Homeland Security was established and Mr. Bush told us it would just be used in the case of Muslim-styled terrorism…
Commieservative logic: ‘If the US doesn’t jump when we bark, we’ll sell our oil to Communists’
Conservatives call progressives the following on a regular basis: Commies, Socialists, Fascists, Libtards etc. And those are just the nice ones. But when it comes to feeding their faces, all…
Repeat performance of Bill Blair’s Goon Show tonight in Toronto?
"I'm sorry officer, is my head in the way of your boot?" When midnight rolls around in Toronto, will we see Bill Blair’s finest descend on those Occupiers like they…

Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas party with law firm challenging the Affordable Healthcare Act
It's gotten so bad in the US Supreme Court that judges no longer even attempt to cover their corruption. As the Citizens United ruling showed us, the key deciding votes…
Leave Chelsea Clinton alooonne!
There's been a lot of bellyaching from the media over NBC's hiring of non-journalist Chelsea Clinton. Yeah, it may be disheartening to a hard-boiled journo who has toiled through the…
With Bloomberg’s plundering of Zuccotti Park last night, Occupy Wall Street can now get down to serious business
Funny how a mayor bought and paid for by Wall Street thinks he can brutally evict Occupy Wall Street while forbidding any media coverage. Looks like he forgot about the…
The many lives of Alykhan Velshi
Velshi's the one to the left. This cat has at least nine lives. The huge FAIL of the 'ethical oil' scam hasn't stopped Stephen Harper from rewarding failure once again.
Herman Cain’s Rick Perry Moment
Dumb as a box of rocks. Just when you didn't think anyone could out-Perry Perry, try and understand this stream of bullshit about Libya from a man who has pretensions…
Suzanne Anton and NPA caught using unauthorized photos of children
The more I hear about this NPA party, the more I think it is just another conservative organization. It's supposed to be 'non-partisan' - hell, it named itself the Non-Partisan…
Interesting Canadian Press headline: calls recent US moves ‘anti-Canadian’
I hadn't heard this before from our media. Has this become a new trope of the media to skew the non-related actions of the US not in favour of Canada?…
Anonymous threatens Rob Ford with internet takedown if Occupy Toronto removed
If Rob Ford goes through with his threat to forcibly remove peaceful Occupy Toronto next week, Anonymous warns that it is prepared to take action against Ford's administration by 'removing…
Like with Bachmann and W., God made Herman Cain do it
Herman Cain is now claiming he's running for president as a personal mission from God. He didn't mention who commanded him to harass women. Could it be...Satan?
Media Democracy Days panel with Elizabeth May, Libby Davies and Hedy Fry
Because I don't converse about politics or media with family and friends (they don't even know I blog, let alone being a progressive), it was refreshing to hear articulate voices…
