Eleven Synonyms for Defending “Traditional” Marriage
As an intelligent person, I can’t help but feel befuddled by American politics. And when the subject of debate turns to gay marriage, my bewilderment devolves into profane belligerence directed at the addle-pate bigots that the American people (in their infinite wisdom*) entrust in their governance. I am honestly flabbergasted that this debate exists in the first...
No Good News – Black is Back
Lock up your daughters! Conrad Black is back in town (Dammit, Séamus, I said cue Boys Are Back In Town)! Now that Conrad Black is released from prison and returned to Canada, the question of the moment is whether he can, or should, regain the Canadian citizenship he renounced in order to accept a...
No Good News – Wildrose Sand
I‘m as surprised as you are that Alberta has elections. I’ve always considered their opposition to democracy very progressive, or at the very least, honest. Ontario, on the other hand, is like a bowl of Froot Loops where the Froot Loops have been replaced by lies. It’s like we hadn’t figured anything out...
The Great War For Civilization
The meeting takes place in a room. The malignant stench of misunderstanding was palpable. There is no reasoning with “these” people. After all, they are not even really “people” to begin with. These “fuckers” are so low on the evolutionary scale that even the Animal Rights people have nothing but contempt for their pathetic, wretched...
No Good News – Iceland
(Bjork & Tricky, Bjork & Goldie, Bjork & Matthew Barney) Looking at Bjork’s choice in mate from then until now is like looking into a spiral of cascading intolerability. Yeah, I just said that Goldie is more tolerable than Matthew Barney. Need proof? UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I’m not going to tell you that I think that Goldie...
Science and Religion – Less than BFF
Science and religion are wholly and utterly incompatible. Today the religious ingratiate themselves with science at every opportunity as, quite rightly, they know they’ll look like quacks if they are seen denying basic science the way they used to. Deprived of their historical freedom to be pontificating tyrants disseminating ignorance, many have become yogis bending...
No Good News – Women’s Rights, Titanic and America
Well, I’m glad the Globe and Mail finally came out and said which member of Pink Floyd they prefer, even if it was in an editorial insisting that Argentina has no business in the Falklands. What year is this, anyway? I believe an argument is weak when it ends with “We always preferred David Gilmour...
On The Loneliness of Extraversion – LYP@H pt. 4
Last Sunday morning I slept until my eyes were ready to open, rearranged my apartment, ate cake for breakfast, and read online news in total silence. I did two loads of dishes, went for a walk and a short longboard ride, returned library books, and watched bike polo in the park. I then found my...
Starbucks’ Ethos is My Ethos
Dear Starbucks, I love your coffee. While puffing away on my morning cigarette, your Pike Place beans skip caffeinated pleasantries across my tongue like a still pond on a bright spring day. I often wonder what I’m more addicted to – your coffee or nicotine? I know I need both to consider myself a functional...
No Good News – Easter
There truly is a God, a majority of Post readers declare. Does Conrad Black know? If there’s one thing worse than speculative prattle from the paid staff of a newspaper, it’s speculative prattle that the readers of said newspaper concocted themselves that a member of the staff of the newspaper is then paid to assemble...
