Category: Good Stuff

Sorry in advance for the slim postings today, ladies and gents, but the PM is coming to town today and while I do scrub up pretty good (or so I’m told), it takes quite a bit of scrubbin’…

Yes indeed, Stephen Harper is coming to town today and my son and I are going to be there. I’m going to try to capture the speech for his civics class and if I manage to pull that off, I’ll be posting it here later today. Until then, well, I gotta go clean up… 😉

Doors open at 5, hope to be home by about 8 or so (depending on how long things run; always questionable during a campaign) and hope to have something up for you nice folks by before 9…

Until then, here’s some random stuff I tripped across…

• Punk’d

Oh, yes it is (this post certified 100% Election Bullshit® Free)…

In a bit of a hurry here, so I’ll be quick. Just got this forwarded to my email (thanks, Larry) and it’s too damned good not to share.

Enjoy.

It’s still Thursday and the election is still chugging along. On the one hand, I’m tempted to bitch about it; on the other hand, I can’t remember the last time I had this much fun. 😆

One thing that I like about times like this is that some interesting folks tend to pop by and say howdy.

I’m not talking about politicians or pundits or such. I’m talking about what King Ralph would call “severely normal people.” Joe and Jane Lunchbox. I like those people. They’re the reason why I have the comments enabled on this site. Here’s two from today so far:

Shawn stopped by to give us a heads-up on what Elly May seems to think about us:

“Politicians are scared to death to mention the word tax. They think Canadians are stupid, and I fundamentally agree with that assessment.”
[pardon me whilst I trim the link for length -D

Always nice to know what the EnviroElitesâ„¢ think of the rest of us.

Pyper stopped by to, but she seemed to have something specific on her mind…

Would you please contact me directly. We are looking for assistance with a get out and vote campaign and could use your help.
Many thanks,
Pyper

Well Pyper, I have no idea what your politics are and guess what? I don’t care, either. If you’re interested in getting people off their butts and out to the polls, I’ll give you a hand. Nope, no strings. After all, it’s not like it would be the first time I gave space here to another point of view. Reply to the email I sent you and we’ll see what I can set up for you.

… cartoonists. Really, I do. Not just because they can make me have a good chuckle from time to time, but also because it can be downright eerie sometimes how they can give you a peek behind the curtain of what’s on the collective mind.

They can be complimentary or insulting (sometimes both simultaneously), insightful or oblivious, highbrow or crude. They can be impartial observations or blatantly partisan hackery. Yes some, like the much-missed team of Cox and Forkum that we lost in January of this year, are better than others. But one thing that all the good ones manage to do, whether you like it or not, is to get you to think. That’s been on my mind lately.

Soooooooo… with that in mind (because, God knows, we could all use a little light something before the Election Anvilâ„¢ clobbers us all like Wile E. Coyote), let’s have a quick look at what the little scamps have been up to (click to bigulate, of course)… (more…)

This is me.

These are my dingleberries.

This is me, laughing my dingleberries OFF. (tip o’ the toque to Kate over at SDA for this)

Let’s see now… what have we got here? It’s not your gun. You were told “not to mess with it.” But did you listen? Nope.

Well, then, you get what you deserve and you deserve what you get. 😉

I think the “so-called mayor of Toronto” just pooped himself. 😆
