Bob McKenzie Beats A Strawman To Death

Thank Gordie that Bob McKenzie is in a lather about the foul treatment heaped upon Wayne Gretzky. His latest article is a good example of how to attack a strawman in order to hide a weak argument.

Olympic Snark

And I thought the Turin/Torino Games might be dull...Right off the bat we have a sledder and a goalie using the best defence of steroid use yet - "My hair did it". We have Italians doing doughnuts in the opening ceremony, and DICK! Pound is already wrong about drug testing. Oh yeah, and "the cleanest games ever" (see : DICK! Pound) have excused wimps-on-sticks for five days so they can get it right. When is a real sport like ice climbing going to get its shot at Olympic glory?

The Olympics. NIMBY.

Project Alberta Schools Us

From Project Alberta

"The Captain (a blogger) found the relevant difference between Emerson's defection and Stronach's defection. However, the Canadian people aren't usually very good at understanding fine distinctions like that."

Self loathing much? I wonder what colour her birth certificate is.

What the...? Prey has a release date? One of the most delayed video games ever? Good freakin' grief. Who even remembers 1998 at this point.

Common Sense Comes to Ottawa

We're fucked.

And doesn't it seem that Mike can't hold a job? Maybe he has governmental ADD.

Magnum P.I.: The Complete Third Season

DVD Joy! The Magnum P.I. complete third season DVD is now out. I will fully admit to being a mark for Magnum. Forget McGuyver and his no-guns, no-girls, no cool car show, it's Magnum for me! There, that is my man-crush for the week.

Christ Demeaned In Art! Christian World Yanws

In 2004 the Hirst exhibition portrayed the christian easter bunny as a woman, an office supply, and with a cow's head. How well I remember the outrage from the christian right. The boycott of British art supplies crippled their economy and laid the groundwork for a new theocratic government. Marks and Spencer stores across North America were burned and looted in protest. And South America has yet to recover. In a scathing rebuke of this insult to christianity, the Evangelical Alliance spokesman, David Hilborn, said:

To overcome this, Hirst and Bailey would have needed to produce something pretty startling, but the pictures released today show a poverty of imagination and inspiration.
