Unity now
Four million satisfied customers
Since the web site re-jig, and since we started counting in earnest, wk.com has received more than four million visits – 4,050,000, to be precise.
A significant perecentage of those visits belong to people who (a) hate Yours Screwly but (b) can’t keep away, because I am richer, smarter and better-looking than they are.
Four million! Wow! Thanks to you, wk.com regulars!
Tim Hudak: job killer
SFH for Manitoba
Our lead guitarist, Ritalin Boy, is the devilish fellow featured on the SFH poster, below. He’s from Brandon, Man., parts of which are fully under water (his Dad, by the way, was a Conservative cabinet minister, under Dief). At our gig tomorrow night – parts of which I’ll be stepping out on, because Face To Face and Strung Out are at the Phoenix – we will be passing the hat for Manitoba flood relief. Folks there are facing terrible destruction and devastation, and they deserve all the help we can give.
And, if you can make it to the show tomorrow night, please do!
I have a son who is thirteen!
Today. Thirteen! His sister preceded him, so now half the kids are adolescents.
Anyone who would like to explain how I am therefore “not as old as I think” are welcome to do so in comments. You won’t be successful, but my thanks in advance for your efforts.
And happy birthday, eldest son!
The anti-Rae rule (updated)
I carry no brief for the Bob Rae – see below – but this “decision” of the Liberal Party’s functionaries is a joke. It’s simply an anti-Rae missile dressed up as something else.
In particular, the thought control part of the diktat – that you can’t even discuss cooperation/coalition/merger with another person – is extraordinary. Will they now ban unauthorized gatherings of more than three Liberals, too?
Anyway, it sure is a good thing we still have Alf Apps in charge. He did such a great job in the election campaign, and he’s now doing a terrific job of bringing everyone together!
UPDATE: They’re not fooling anyone, either. See here and here.
Flush this garbage
Geert Wilders is human garbage.
It was a mistake for the Harper government to let him into Canada (when they had previously, and appropriately, made things inhospitable for George Galloway). It is an even greater mistake to allow a federally-funded facility play host to this asshole.
I know folks at PMO – and James Moore – read this site regularly. They should do the right thing and ensure that this bigot spews his venom elsewhere.
If they don’t, they risk Wilders’ stink enveloping them, too.
In today’s Sun: Rae day
Chat at Starbucks on Rideau
A guy just came up to me to say hi, he reads the web site, etc. Asked me about the chances of an NDP-Liberal merger/cooperation thing now.
Said I: “It’s a good idea, therefore it’s dead. Ottawa is where good ideas come to die.”
