I’m pretty sure that in some Latin American countries, Sheila Fraser would have fallen victim to some sort of unfortunate accident. In Canada, however, she’s merely subject to a swarm of reporters tripping over themselves trying to spin her every comment to suit their agenda while the government points to shiny things in an effort… Continue reading Sheila Fraser, you so crazee

Wow, it looks like this whole minority government experiment is about to collapse. Too bad, I was looking forward to an entire session of all the parties denying that an election is looming while accomplishing nothing at all. Division of Powers 101: A primer on the Canadian constitution Sarah Schmidt reports today that the federal… Continue reading If a government falls in a forest and nobody hears. . .

So my grand life plan got a big ol’ kick in the nuts last week. Apparently the powers that be have deemed me unsatisfactory to educate our nation’s young people and I won’t be a Gee Gee next year. That being said, if you know anybody who is looking to hire a cyncial pundit who… Continue reading Will rant for food

I’m sure glad Jesus had that pet bunny and that he broke chocolate eggs with the disciples at the Last Supper. Makes for a good long weekend for me. To those who wondered what happened to last Thursday’s update. . . I cacked off. By the time I’d been through all the papers that morning… Continue reading Stuffed full of sacri-licious chocolate

I don’t get enough sleep. Especially this week. So this is going to be a pretty quick little post, as my bed is calling my name. Oh it’s not important Susan Delacourt reported in the Toronto Star that Commons Speaker Peter Milliken ruled that an agreement reached between all parties that would have seen a… Continue reading Short and sweet

I’m going on a field trip today. A field trip. I’m 24 years old, working on my second bachelor’s degree, and I’m going on a field trip. How cool is that? I just gotta remember to get mom to sign my permission slip and I’m Montreal bound! Schwartz’s Deli is a historical site, right? Charles… Continue reading A day of smoked meat and field research

Welcome, friends. How was your weekend? Good? Mine too. Caught up on some sleep, had a few beers with friends, caught up, that sort of thing. But enough of the pleasantries. “How far to Club Super Sexe?” So a bunch of Tories walk into a bar… Or at least I assume they did. You wonder… Continue reading I too want a martini named after me

So it turns out that someone else thought to call their weblog megalomedia. Apparently the term bounces around a fair bit. I came up with it independently, but I guess I’m not a super genius. Fortunately, I was just shown a great website that cheers me up (in that same twisted way that this site… Continue reading I’m not the genius I thought I was

So we all remember the Atlanta courthouse shooting right? The Globe has a creepy little story about Ashley Smith, the single mother whose house the suspect hid in. Turns out she stayed calm, read a few good Christian stories to the man and called the cops. Okay, she deserves praise. But the Globe reports that… Continue reading Megalomedia – the web-based ray of hope for all

Before we get this bad boy rolling, I’ve got to get something off my chest. My good buddy Dan hit on this when there was a story about a lesbian high school student who was banned from her grad class photo for wearing a tux. Now we have something similiar in our own backyard. A… Continue reading The one in which Joe is enraged
