I Can See Lieutenant Pike Doing That

By ck, on November 20th, 2011

Indeed I think that’s exactly how Georges Seurat would’ve visualized ol’ Lieutenant Pike.

As Jymn said, he is definitely UC Davis’ answer to Toronto’s Officer Bubbles.

By Jymn, on November 20th, 2011

Dawg and others have posted this but it’s powerful enough to post once again. This is indeed powerful; Dr. Katehi walking to her car, passing by OccupyUCDavis seated in absolute silence. This is an iconic video, representing the perp and the peaceful.

By ck, on November 17th, 2011

Looks Like The Harpercon Saulie Zajdel Camp May Be Pushing Irwin Cotler Out The Door Prematurely

By ck, on November 17th, 2011

Well boys ‘n’ girls, the latest political happenings in Mount-Royal could definitely go in the Harpercons flare for the unprecedented files.

By ck, on November 17th, 2011

If you were planning to work with or for them in any capacity, risking life and limb to do so, think very carefully. No matter what they may promise to do so, don’t trust them.

Aaron Rand, You Still Think You’re Comfortable With Warrantless Online Spying? That Your Final Answer?

By ck, on November 16th, 2011

I remember when that hideous dumb on crime omnibus bill was first tabled and the noon hour “Free For All” show, starring Ric Petersen, Aaron Rand and of course, Tea-baggin’ Tommy Schnurmacher, on CJAD was discussing that very lunacy. One frightening thing that came out of Aaron Rand’s mouth stuck with me to . . . → Read More: Aaron Rand, You Still Think You’re Comfortable With Warrantless Online Spying? That Your Final Answer?

That’s Very Christian of You, Dr. Jabba The Roy Eappen

What’s The Hurry, Stevie? Planning To Shut The Place Down, AGAIN??

By ck, on November 15th, 2011

We all have been hearing that Stevie Spiteful and his puppets have been doing all to curb debate on the motions they’ve been pushing in the House of Commons since their majority.

Tough On Crime For Thee, But Not For Me

By ck, on November 11th, 2011

You’ve gotta hand it to those Harpercons. Really. I mean, only they can declare victory after pleading guilty to avoid trial for Senators Finley and Gerstein.

Second Iraq war hero wounded by police at Occypy Oakland. Right wing cheers.

By Jymn, on November 5th, 2011

If anything in the last few decades has scared the right wing out of its comfort zone of pretend patriotism it is the Occupy movement. Not the first black president, not the wars, not the uprisings in the Mideast, the failing economy, the loss of jobs, Michael Moore or George Soros. It is the Occupy . . . → Read More: Second Iraq war hero wounded by police at Occypy Oakland. Right wing cheers.

“Moral convictions”, Republicans and bullying

By Jymn, on November 4th, 2011

You gotta love Republicans. In Michigan, the Republican-heavy Senate has passed a new anti-bullying bill that promotes bullying by giving perpetrators the ‘moral conviction’ right to bully on behalf of their religion. In effect, bullying is AOK in Michigan if you do it and claim religious reasons.

Michigan Dems say the . . . → Read More: “Moral convictions”, Republicans and bullying

By ck, on November 1st, 2011

The above image is a ruger mini-14 semi-automatic. Tell me, boys ‘n’ girls, does that look like something that would be required to shoot ducks and other game? I didn’t think so neither.

Just in time for accusations in his past of sexual harrassment, Herman Cain complains of Clarence Thomas treatment

By Jymn, on October 31st, 2011

"Life is like a 12-inch pizza. You never know what you're gonna get."

The victimization of the right continues. Not missing a beat, GOP presidential contender Herman Cain whined to a right-wing scribe over the weekend that he will be targeted by Democrats in the same manner he alleges Clarence Thomas encountered.

Quebecor And RLQ’s Chou-Chou, Eric Duhaime Has Hit a New Low–Enough With The Canadian Arrogant Complacency!

By ck, on October 30th, 2011

Yes, that would be the same Eric Duhaime, the one who begged the feds, not once, but twice, to somehow intervene in the construction scandal woes in la Belle province, a problem that dates decades that needs systemic changes that not even the feds can touch.

The real class warfare: law firm representing banks and mortgage servicers mock homeless at Halloween party

By Jymn, on October 29th, 2011
