Chalk on a Blackboard

Tina Fey Meets “Fargo”
Call me a “liberal elitist” or whatever, but whenever I’m hearin’ Sara Palin talkin’ it makes my flesh crawl, and not just because she’s an ignorant, god-bothering nitwit who’s manifestly unqualified to potentially be “leader of the free world” (yes, try to meld those two things in your mind without drowning in [...]

From the “Too Little, Too Late” Dept.

Pity the poor Liberals… They’re really throwing absolutely everything and anything they can at the wall in the hopes it will stick. I doubt today’s feeble charge of “plagiarism” by Bob Rae will gain much traction, but it’s pretty funny.

In fact, it’s somewhat reminiscent of the scaremongering line of attack [...]

Belated Debate Notes

A few mental jottings from the past several days…
Like many I’d suppose, I watched the first presidential debate last Friday with some eager anticipation. Of what, I’m not quite sure. Short of one of the candidates spontaneously combusting on the stage of the Ole Miss. on live TV in front of millions of people — [...]

“Head of Skate”

This is too funny (in a tragically awful, scary because it’s frighteningly close to the truth, kind of way)…

I just have a couple of minutes here, but really wanted to say thanks very much to all of the generous folks who made a contribution the other day. It was very [...]

Talk Is Cheap

Or so “they” say. But actually, it’s not.
In an attempt to stave off being homeless next month, here’s a bit of a wacky, harebrained thought…
If you enjoy this blog and would like to see it continue, contribute a dollar (there’s a PayPal button on the sidebar). That’s it… ONE DOLLAR. Slightly more [...]

Fearmongering

Here we go again. Be afraid… very afraid…

Or not. Hey, the Liberals have an Advanced Manufacturing Prosperity Fund; a Small Communities Fund; a Green Fisheries and Transport Fund; a Regional Flexibility Fund; a Water Fund; a Green Farms Fund; an Interdisciplinary Sustainability Fund; an Educational Endowment Fund; a Low-Income Homes [...]

Crisis, What Crisis?

Completely and utterly BIZARRE.

Update:If Obama had proposed this, don’t you think he would have been slammed six ways to Sunday as a shameless coward?

Free Sarah Palin

CNN’s Campbell Brown unloads a boatload of sarcasm on the McCain campaign’s hypocritically chauvinistic approach that she’s a “delicate flower that will wilt at any moment.”

Hmmm. Where have we seen that patronizing double-standard before?
Oh yes… here and here and here.

Death to Pepperland!!!

Stephen Harper is a mean-spirited control freak and he doesn’t like artists.

Sadly, this seems to be the best message the Liberals (and the progressive “left” for that matter) can come up with at the moment.
There’s a HUNDRED REASONS here, but I rather doubt anyone much cares that Stratford isn’t [...]

McCain’s “Dismaying Temperament”

MSNBC’s David Shuster talks to Rachel Maddow about a recent column by George Will blasting John McCain as a man that’s temperamentally unsuited to be commander in chief. Well duh.

To follow on a bit from yesterday’s observation about the spreading disaffection on the part of the so-called “liberal” Washington press [...]
