After much whining about the issue from this quarter (amongst possibly many others), kudos to the Liberals for finally getting around to posting a video on their YouTube channel that properly reflects the full back and forth exchange in Question Period rather than simply posting their question only; a self-serving (but completely useless and frustrating [...]

The Disgraceful Cheney Clan
On last night’s Countdown guest host Lawrence O’Donnell ripped into Dick Cheney’s loathsome spawn.
Mendacity it seems doesn’t so much run as gallop in that family.

Michael Moore on Afghanistan
Appearing on Larry King Live the other night, Moore said that it’s time for President Obama to wind down the war in Afghanistan. “It’s unwinnable. It’s immoral. It’s illegal. It’s wrong,” he said. “We need to leave.”
“There is no middle ground,” he stated. “You’re either going to go all out and [...]

Driving With Cox
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
Watching young Dr. Cox last night on The Colbert Report talking about his new book Why E= mc2 and debunking the notion that’s been floated by some physicists that people from the future may be influencing the present in order to prevent catastrophic events associated with CERN’s particle-smashing collider from [...]

A couple of great bits from this week’s Mercer Report dealing quite funnily with the Conservative Elect A Stephen Harper Majority Government Fund, err, I mean “Economic Action Plan”…
It’s terrific that the Conservatives are doling out buckets of taxpayer money like there’s no tomorrow… I guess [...]

Healthcare in Pottersville
This feature from CBC’s The National the other night will likely be condemned by so-called “conservatives” who pine for privatization of the healthcare system and practically drool at the prospect of people getting ruthlessly screwed over by insurance companies.
Good luck with that.
As I’ve said many time before in [...]

And Now For Something…
Completely Python
I’ve been somewhat distracted over the past few days by the new Monty Python documentary “Almost the Truth” made by the son of Terry Jones that the Bravo! network has been showing, providing as it does wonderful insights into the iconic comedy troupe that I completely idolized as a kid and while this little [...]

Adventures with Iggy: Sweater Guy
I really don’t know what to say…
But here’s a question for the kids: What does “Big Bear” think about coercive interrogation in the context of a “lesser evil” moral analysis vis-à-vis the global war on terrorism?
Well, give Ignatieff points for not frightening the children… I guess.
