Question For The HarperBot

Sexy Stephen said ""Canada is a northern welfare state, and proud of it" and on Monday he said "Our national identity was not forged by government policy. It does not flow from any one program. ... Our Canada is rooted in our shared history, and in the values which have and will endure."

You suck! We're great! Opinion polls about values bad! Values good!

Dithering?

And why don't our overlords in Calgary vote in their municipal elections? Here are some stats from some hippies. And here we have some lazy frenchmen examining the data. Why don't our overlords trust their overlords? If the chosen people can't even be bothered to choose their people, then what hope have we?

What The Hell?




What happened to Janet Jackson? Was she sick and nobody told us?

Oh well, I live in a fat glass house so I shouldn't throw scones. But I guess I just did.

Goodbye to a legend


Chris Penn has ceased to be. Fans of Chris will remeber him best as Willard Hewitt in Footloose, Eddie in Resevoir Dogs, and Travis Bickley in Best of the Best.

Oh yeah, and for thinking that he was legit tough and trying to be a boxer.

Stand up for Canada! Just not the inclusive, intellectually sound version.

Let The Dithering Begin Anew

The Globe and Mail: Harper rebukes U.S. envoy over Arctic dispute: "When Liberal Leader Paul Martin took the United States to task during the election campaign over its response to the softwood lumber dispute and climate change, Mr. Harper accused him of engaging 'in a series of phony and reckless wars of words with the United States that does not help this economy or Canadians.'"

So softwood lumber tariffs are a reckless and phony cause. But Arctic sovereignty is " in the best interests of Canada". I guess it is only coincidence that the U.S. really cares about softwood lumber and gives little thought or value to our claim of sovereignty over the north.

New leader, same dithering.

Stand up for Canada!

The Phantom Fucktard

Thank god for overzealous bloggers like The Phantom!

Here is his post:

"VICTORY IS OURS!
VICTORY! (JimDandy here...who writes like that? Is this guy dancing around in his Grranimals?)

The Conservative party of Canada has won a minority government! Hoowah!" (JD here - I like how he invokes the U.S. Marine Corps cheer at this point. The Phantom must be part of the 101st Keyboarders..foreign legion)

Back to Phantom...

"Martin has resigned. All is right with the world.The election results make it clear that most of geographical Canada is Conservative, with Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver addicted to redistributionism. That's ok, I don't care. A CPC majority would have been nice, but a minority will keep their heads from getting too big. That's never a bad thing in government I think.
The real victory today is that the control of the vast regulatory machinery goes to someone who won't use it for his own ends, and will (if he keeps his promises!) start taking it apart. Begining, I hope, with gun control."

I did not know that geography could vote. And that the Maritimes, Quebec and BC went solidly CPC. And it is good to know that Harper won't use the civil service, but will dismantle it. Cool. I guess the elderly can drive to Ottawa every month for their cheques. And he won't enact any policy at all with that same regulatory machinery. Does he think that MPs will fill out cheques and issue permits in their spare time?

But, Phantom did school us with this sweet sentiment on another blog:

"That post of yours is what I like most about the Left, Cathy. No principled discussion of values, no civilised give-and-take of reasoned debate. Just choose up sides and go for the throat."

Okey dokey. You, Phantom, are a fucktard. Case closed.

Hey, that was fun!

Gran Turismo Motorcycle Sim

Due in North America Q2. Watch these stunning gameplay videos (rubber shorts required).

Fairness? Accuracy? Fuck No, It's A Blog.



Honshui has been calling for some balance in my mocking of tennis stars who have gone off the juice and have bulked-up to preternatural levels. So for his edification, I present Amelie Mauresmo - the woman who gives Honshui the shivers.

Now, on the other hand, we have Serena Wiliiams - the woman who puts delight into Honshui's wooly leggings.




I will leave to you to decide which one more resembles Tom Platz.

Sadly, all we are doing is showing why Anna Kournikova is still more popular not playing tennis than the actual stars. And here I am feeding the hollow man. I have no shame.

Dark Days Ahead

I am truly ashamed to be a Canadian on this cold, dark day. In the eyes of the world we are now a nation of gun loving, bible thumping, corporate worshiping, homophobic bigots, whose undemocratically appointed leader (less than 40 percent of the vote) closely resembles a child molesting psychopath. Have you looked into his ice cold, lazy eyes? Behind them lurk truly frightening ideoloies.
The majority of Conservative support comes predominantly from rural dwelling, old and/or uneducated voters . After living for over twenty five years in the "country", surrounded by illegal hunting, trespassing, knuckle dragging, hillbillies, that information comes as little surprise to me. Time to start budgeting for health insurance, gentle reader, for the end is Nye.
