A Vancouver Day in 60 Seconds
Nice time-lapse from this past weekend, complete with lightning and fireworks.
Good grief, another blistering hot stretch of days ahead…
In other news, it was a little cooler than usual in Minnesota over the last couple of weeks, so global warming is clearly a totally bogus hoax. I believe there [...]

On Hiatus (Again!)
As mentioned, because the place I’m currently living at in Vancouver is being leveled “gentrified” into a spanky new “heritage” townhouse development at the end of the month, I’m going to be moving back to Victoria next week, so posting will likely be pretty much non-existent for a little while except for occasional comments and [...]

Anyway, I believe Hayes may be onto something when he talks about this particular form of hypocrisy being “a profound part of the conservative DNA.” Indeed, we’ve seen the same [...]

Theory of Relativity
Glenn Beck, ladies and gentlemen — making Bill O’Reilly appear to be a thoughtful moderate by comparison.

Cute Things…
Can’t say I’m terribly fond of this Madness video, but the tune is brilliant. And yes, I heard it on Le Show this past weekend — haven’t been able to get it out of my head since…
Here’s something else that struck me as weirdly “cute” — Michael Showalter gets “married” [...]

Clown Hall
I almost feel sorry for Republican Congressman Mike Castle whose recent town hall meeting in Delaware was hijacked by an angry mob of deranged “birthers” demanding action to “take back” their country, and who then pressured everyone present into reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. Yikes.
