to much feedback...Alright; I get it. Bigger letters. Gotcha. I can take a hint. Since that last post, I’ve gotten over 150 emails! 😯 Yes, that’s right. And all of ’em basically said the same thing: bigger letters bigger letters bigger letters bigger letters bigger letters bigger letters bigger letters…. Never let it be said that I can’t take a hint.

So… I’ve GIMPed it and reworked the design a bit. Did I mention how much I loathe working with image editing software? Just thought I’d grumble about that a little. At any rate, here’s what I have so far:

version 2

And folks: PLEASE limit commentary, criticisms, etc to the comments sections. My email box is TOTALLY stuffed… 🙄

As for me now, I’m gonna go try to figure out just WHAT the H-E-double-hockeysticks Harper is thinking… 😕

T-Shirts

Okay, I know I’ve been babbling about this for a while now, but this time I really mean it. Here’s the first draft for the first shirt design:

I’ll keep at it till it finally looks right to me.  When it does, I’ll make ’em available.  So, in the meantime, what does everybody think?

PS – Yes, I KNOW that I’m not worth a damn at image editing… 🙄

Mission Accomplished

Government du CanadaNo, I’m not talking about Iraq, or even Americans in general. Stuff that.

What I am talking about is that the House of Commons has voted unanimously in favour granting a full state funeral to the last surviving veteran of the Great War. This has been a while in the making, but definitely worth it. I don’t have time to go too deep into this yet, so here’s just a few links:

MPs support state funeral for last surviving WWI veteran

State funeral for last war vet wins approval

Petitioners Win

House approves state funeral for last WWI vet

Damned good news, no matter how you slice it. More will come later in the day.

You’re Damn Right It’s Not

They can fly???Fasten your seatbelts! Check the instruments, flaps and rudders, and hang on tight there, boys and girls, ’cause ol’ Porky’s on the runway and getting ready to take off. Yes, folks, the RCBARF is buzzing the courthouse in London, Ontario.

Some of you from the area might remember a story from a while back about how local dolt Marcello Ianni got himself liquored up one night and tried to sexually assault a female attendant working the night shift at a gas station at Huron & Highbury. Poor Marcello, looking to get his rocks off, got his block knocked off instead. The victim managed to phone both the cops AND her very protective boyfriend (whose name has not been released, in order to protect Whupass!the victim’s identity).

Guess who showed up at the scene first? 😆

The short version of the story is that little Marcello got the livin’ horny stomped right out of him. A longer version can be found in today’s Freeps:

Ianni, who has pleaded guilty to sexual assault, had been at a hockey party. He was so drunk he had little memory of what happened.

The situation quickly took a turn for the worse when Ianni made sexual suggestions and tried to grab the clerk.

He unzipped his pants and repeated he wanted to have sex with her.

The woman was able to call 911, then called her boyfriend, who jumped in the car and arrived before police.

Through the window, he could see his girlfriend was bent over the counter with her arm pinned behind her and Ianni with his arms around her.

Good job! The man went into the kiosk with a metal baton. Ianni backed into a corner before he was hit on the head and shoulder, punched and kicked.

Within a few seconds, the woman was out of the kiosk with her boyfriend right behind her.

Police arrived to find Ianni in a pool of blood. He required nine stitches.

So far, so good, right? Get caught trying to rape a girl, get fed a can o’ Wupass®. Sounds jolly to me. But then things, as they all too often do, took a turn for the stoopid:

Asshattery The man owned up to what he did, but was later charged when police believed he had used excessive force.

London Police Chief Murray Faulkner said police laid the charge because they believed, under their guidelines, there was reasonable grounds to believe there was an offence.

Well, a jury of 12 of his fellow citizens didn’t think so. It took them less than an hour to give Boyfriend Bob a pat on the back and send him out the door. Seems like saving a woman from being raped isn’t a crime, after all.

What I would like to know is this: why the hell was this guy ever charged with ANYTHING in the first place??? And don’t even think about giving me any of that “EEK! Vigilantes!” bullcrap. What this guy did wasn’t just the right thing to do, it was the perfectly natural thing to do.

A lot of women in general, feminazis in particular, can’t stand to admit to the fact that the vast majority of mentally well-balanced men, by their very nature, have our primal “fight-or-flight” response on something of a hair trigger where our loved ones are concerned. We are also (again, because nature has hardwired us that way) one hell of a lot more likely to respond aggressively to dangers arising from the aggression of others. No matter how hard some might try to socialize or legislate that away, it is there, always has been and always will be. Get over it.

Interestingly enough, a lot of the same people like to bitch and complain about how “nobody wants to get involved” anymore. Well, what the hell do you expect, when this is what they get for their troubles? The simple fact of the matter is that this guy didn’t do a damn thing wrong.

Did he do what any normal, healthy male in the same situation would do? You’re damned right he did.

Was what he did a crime? Hell, NO.

Thanks, guysGee whiz, guys; I didn’t know you cared. 😆 I’ve only been ranting now for about six months and, while I’ve somehow managed to rack up over 12,000 visitors in that time, I had no idea just what kind of, er… interesting folks… were popping by to check out the stuff percolating up from the muck and the mire at the bottom of my brain. Then, the other day, I noticed this (click for a bigger look-see):

Well, lookie here...

I figured I must have been drawing a few folks’ interest but, dang; the House of Commons?? Shucks, guys; I didn’t know ya cared… 😀

Cheers

VideosThese things have been popping up on YouTube like daisies lately. I’m going to have to find a bunch and post them in a batch one of these days. Remember that infamous “soldiers in the streets” bit of fearmongering that the HypoGrits tried to pull last January that came back (in a helluva hurry) to bite ’em right where the sun don’t shine? Ever wonder what it would look like if conservatives resorted to the sort of leftist-style attack ads that we saw in the last federal election? Oh, it’d be snarky, alright. Truthful, but snarky. Come to think of it, it would probably look something like this:
