He does!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: one of the things I like best about this guy is his sense of humour. I’m not too big on some of his policies, but anybody that can make good-natured fun of himself with such a straight face can’t be all that bad. Most politicians (especially Republicans, it seems, for some reason) don’t have the guts to lampoon themselves like this…

This is good. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

It looks like, even in a place as Leftbotâ„¢-infested as Ontario, some things are still no-brainers.  This one is such a no-brainer that 94% can’t find anything wrong with it (wondering what the hell is on the other 6%’s mind just creeps me out).

I have to admit that I’m a little disappointed that such a sensible bill wasn’t introduced by a conservative MPP. The truth is that the private member’s bill in question was put forth by a … ahem … Liberal. 😯 Aw, screw it. A good idea is a good idea, no matter where it comes from and the way things have been going in this province for a while now, I’ll take my good news where I can get it. Here’s to Liberal MPP Laurel Broten!  God bless the lady.

In case you’re somehow wondering, John Q. Ontarien is right behind this bill (no surprise):

“Woe to any party that obstructs this,” Nanos said. “I don’t think it’s the issue of whether this should pass, but if somebody does have a problem with it, it should probably be incumbent on them to figure out how they can fix the problem so it can pass.”

Most folks know already that it’s not often that I have anything good to say about our courts. Years of infestation with Grit-beholden hacks have made them next to useless for protecting law-abiding folks. Every now and then, though, something good manages to come down the pipe. This time, the source of the sudden outbreak of unasshattery was the Crown Attorney’s office in Calgary and not some Grit flunky judge but hey, these days, you take your good news where you can get it, right?

Some of you might remember me shooting my mouth off a bit about this before (you’ll have to scroll down some; it’s one of my more long-winded posts). I just couldn’t get my brain around the fact that the cops and crown were even thinking about putting this guy’s ass in a sling for nothing more than defending his home and woman.

Well, as it turns out, there’s some good news after all: Dan Olynyk’s as free as a bird, just like he should be (tip o’ the hat to Frank for noticing this first)… (more…)

Not quite sure what to make o’ this… I know, I know; that doesn’t happen very often.

It’s not that I don’t like boobs, mind you ( hey, I was the hooter-hound prototype 😛 ).

Ah, what the hell… it’s for a good cause. 😀

Yeah, it’s a slow day. And I have a reunion to go to tonight, so this is as good as it’s likely to get today. Get over it. 😛

Anybody that ever reads Dr. Roy’s Thoughts already knows a few things about the good doctor. Specifically: he’s a pretty bright guy, but a lousy typist and apparently wouldn’t use spellchecking if you put a gun to his melon. Every now and then, though, one of those typos just works out to be sooo sweet…

Jonas points out that the hrcs are social enginerring agencies.

Enginerring. Heh. Hehheh… Yeah… 😆

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, gather ’round as I tell you about 2008’s first nominee for Right Crazy’s BBIBC Awardâ„¢! Our first candidate for the year goes by the name of Kim Robinson. How the hell does a chick get nominated for the Biggest Balls In British Columbia, you ask? Easy: Kim’s a guy (that’s his picture on the right). From the sounds of the story, there just might be a bit of a “boy named Sue” thing going on here.

Now, some folks might argue (not unreasonably, I might add) that Kim may or may not be quite as ballsy as the BBIBC Award’s inaugural winner, Marc Patterson, but you still have to admit that this guy likely clanks when he sits. (more…)
