F*CK OFF, PUNK

Is this real,  or just another internet hoax?  (No, not the picture above — we all know who Bert Easterbrook is by now, right?)  I’m not sure and snopes doesn’t have anything yet.  Either way, it’s still good:

Dear 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup Rioters,

Please stop saying you’re sorry. Stop posting YouTube videos begging for forgiveness. Stop writing letters asking that society cut you some slack and leave you alone. (more…)

UPDATE: Isn’t it funny how things work their way along sometimes?

Here’s a few things that you might not know:

1. Rice is not the #1 food crop in the world; that would be corn.  Rice is second and wheat comes in third.
2. The planet produced 817,000,000 tonnes of corn in 2009.
3. Maize (aka corn) is Africa’s most important staple food.
4. North America is the world’s largest producer of corn, producing about half the worldwide yield.
5. 40% of North America’s corn production gets made into biofuel to satisfy the yuppie need for a masturbatory sense of enviro-self-satisfaction.
6. The price of corn has more than doubled in the last year.

But hey, that’s gotta be just a coincidence, right?  The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization doesn’t think so… (more…)

There is some serious weirdness going on lately.  I don’t like it.  It’s creepy.

Our so-called “national broadcaster,” The Ministry of What You Should Think (aka the ceeb) has long been known as one of the great money pits of the Canadian taxpayer.  It has also been consistently hostile to anything and everything that bears even the slightest resemblance to a conservative — big or small “c” — thought.

The ceeb long ago stopped being the “voice of the Canadian people.”  If memory serves me correctly (and this was quite some time ago, remember), it was sometime around about the early 70s when the CBC stopped reporting on what Canadians were thinking and started telling Canadians what to think.  The federal Tories have, during their time in both opposition and minority government, frequently criticized this blatant waste and bias.  Rightly so, too.

So just why the hell are the Conservatives being so damn nice to it all of a sudden??  I think I might have an idea.  That the ceeb was is the Liberal party’s propaganda arm has been one of the worst kept secrets in the country for years now.  Are the Tories, now that they’re swinging the big stick of majority government, looking to put it to the same purpose?  It’s the only explanation I can think of for some of what’s been going on lately.

Some things really do just speak for themselves, don’t they? 😀

Gee whiz, I wonder what it can be that they have against him? (more…)

’nuff said

Well, the debate is in the rearview mirror.  The good news is that Iggy has now attended 50% of the leaders’ debates, surpassing his attendance record in the House, where he missed 70% of all the votes.

“You had an option, sir; you could have showed up for work.”

The irksome thing about the whole affair was the sheer mass of stuff that Iffy, Jack & Gilles seemed to think we’re just too dumb to know.  I say this because they kept harping (no pun, of course) on about them as if they actually had something to go on about.  So, for their edification, here’s a short list of things that us dumb ol’ Canuckleheads actually have in our tuque-wrapped melons: (more…)
