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…)

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…)

Well, the first debate is over and — surprise surprise — it was a left-wing Little Bighorn attempt on Harper.  But hey, that was what everyone and their uncle was expecting, right?  We all knew that Steve was going to be the punching bag in the English debate, just like he’s going to be again in the French one.  It’s to be expected; he’s the man who’s got the office everyone (except Duceppe — somebody tell me again what the hell he’s dong there?) wants.  Hell, if I didn’t know better, I’d say that even Layton is starting to imagine that he might have some sort of a shot…

The real surprise here, for me at least, wasn’t that Harper managed to come out on top of this particular dogpile, but rather that Jack Layton did as well as he did.

Yeah, you read that right. (more…)
