October 19: one year later
One year ago today, the Liberal Party won a big, big election victory. One year later, what do we know? We know that Justin Trudeau and his party are still…
MC5 and Bad Brains are nominees for Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame!
Which gives me an excuse to post these examples of godlike genius!
Best political commercial of 2016
Sorry, Hill. This one, your team can’t top. (And, yes, it’s real.)
This week’s column: we know who you are
Fascist. To some of us, at least, calling someone a fascist is one of the worst things one can say. After that, what is left? How can one top that?…
I LOVE MY WIFE, MY MOM, MY DAUGHTERS THEN HILLARY
That’s my female firmament.
