To save time, could any MP who wasn’t a Bloc member please raise their hand?

So, the new NDP leader was separatist, as we found out a few days ago.

And, a member of the Conservative cabinet was a separatist, as we find out today.

So, I’m feelin’ good about that.  I’m thinking: “Hey! Here’s a way we Liberals can embarrass the other two parties! How could they be so stupid, as to let separatists get into positions of power?  We can use this!”

And then...I remember.

Carry on as you were.


F**ked Up’s Damian Abraham becomes even more godlike

As regulars know, I am a huge fan of Canada’s own Fucked Up.  I think they are actual geniuses.

Anyway, couldn’t sleep last night, was Net-noodling, and found this online: Abraham is a Hot Nasties fan!  (Or he knows of us, anyway.) To wit:

Q: What song would you like to have played at your funeral?
A: “The Secret Of Immortality” by the Hot Nasties.

OMG, the Nasties have been given coolness steroids.  This is awesome.

Anyhow, to commemorate this auspicious event, here’s FU from the epic new album, David Comes to Life, with ‘Queen of Hearts’:

Benedict Baldy Update

He’s in today’s Star, attempting to sound unconcerned.  Here are three simple realities with which he should be concerned:

1.  Every Liberal alive intensely hates his guts.

2.  He’s twenty points back of Mike Colle.

3.  Every Liberal alive intensely hates his guts.

Enjoy your week in the sun, BB.  By mid-October, you’ll be lining up for pogey.

Benedict Baldy, not exactly as pictured, but close.


The Spectator: Tim Hudak has “questionable judgment”

Because it’s not so much about Hudak’s personal beliefs as it is about his slippery response when confronted with evidence of his views. It turns out that Hudak told anti-abortion advocates in 1995 that he is “solidly” opposed to abortion. In 2009, his representatives told another Conservative advocacy group, the Association for Reformed Political action, that he is “pro-life” and actually signed a petition calling for the defunding of abortions. Rather than simply acknowledging his position, Hudak at first said he couldn’t remember signing the petition, later admitting he “may have” done so, but doesn’t favour revisiting the issue.


Michael Samson

Someone using that name just passed along some nastiness.  Don’t know if it is a real name, but associated email is michaelsamson@yahoo.com, I.P. 64.183.13.74.  Is he for real?  Any tips would be appreciated.
