More Glue Please!

Let's see, the The Rick Mercer Report airs:
Tuesdays, 4:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Tuesdays, 8:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Tuesdays, 12:30 a.m. - 1:00 a.m.
Fridays, 8:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

All on the CBC. And clips from all five seasons are available on the CBC website.

Or, if you own a computer and like the sweet, sweet smell of propane, you can buy it from the Itunes store at $2 a show. Are there really that many huffers with a broadband connection?

For anyone from the U.S. reading this, just substitute "Daily Show" for "Rick Mercer Report". And when you read CBC, put in "The Comedy Network". Yeah, the Canadian one. And if you are from England, replace it with "Graham Norton" or some other show about which nobody give a gnat's crack.

One Minute Movie Review - Cloverfield

For the best effect, shake your ahead forward, backward and side to side while reading this review. Everything blurry? Good. My summary of Cloverfield
is (and all these lines have to be shouted):

"Rob!"
"Dude!"
"Hud!"
"Beth!"
"Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob!"
"Run, run, run!"
"Rob, bro, Rob, bro!"
"Beth! Beth!"
"Rob!"
"Ahh, bugs!"
"Ahh, Beth!"
"Safe! No!"
"Ahh, Rob!"
"Hud! Bro!"

I would have been just as happy if they had all died in the first five minutes so I could have enjoyed watching the giant beastie destroy New York.

Don't Fox Me Bro

Contributor honshui says he is a straight shooter. A stand-up, no bull kind of guy. Like Sheppard Smith. So, on this point, I agree. He has brought some Fox News style ethics to this blog. Well done! All we need now is to post a video of two fat women eating poop and we will be as far down the slope of quality as is possible. In the rush to the bottom 'shui, you lead from the front.

You Don't Know From Yellow Journalism

Since honshui is such a fan of Raphael Alexander, and so unhappy that 13 people picked on poor Rafe for having an outrageously stupid post about the evil of teh wymyn!, I thought it best to point him to Raphael's latest screed; Canada's Bastard Son: Omar Khadr. This sort of heartless promotion of torture, and mindless indifference to suffering, should be right in honshui's wheelhouse.

Lie with dogs...

Bringin' a l'il Fox News Journalism to the Blog

In a recent exchange with me, David had this to say about the Superbowl:

"Seau is a loser. He is sort of an Ivan Lendl type loser."

A lot of you may not respect what I have to say in most of my posts, but I think that you will agree that I have earned a reputation as a straight shooter and an honest reporter. I must say that I find David's comment on a fine athlete and credit to his sport, disappointing.

Let's hope that Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton fare better than Mr. Seau when the judgement from the left comes.
