A Harpercon Fundraising Letter With Same Old Tired Arguments

By ck, on August 2nd, 2010

Indeed. I found this letter over at Susan Delacourt’s blog. We should be amused at this letter, the arguments are just that tired and old and seriously, just don’t reflect today’s reality and in all likelihood, shouldn’t deflect an angry base from why they’re pissed with the Harpercons-the abolition of the census.

Iggy! What Are You Thinking? National Unity? Such Heresy!

By ck, on July 27th, 2010

Reckless! Simply Reckless, I tell you! Iggy! How could even suggest such foolish ideas as to attempt to bring Canadians together! Yes, to the Harpercons, concepts like National Unity are “disturbing trends”.

“Michael Ignatieff and his team recklessly throw around the term ‘national unity,’ ” the Tories charge. “If Ignatieff hadn’t . . . → Read More: Iggy! What Are You Thinking? National Unity? Such Heresy!

There Goes Sun Media Pumping Their Sunshine — There is no Substitute For Meeting Politicians in Person

By ck, on July 26th, 2010

Here is the latest sunshine the Kory clan had to pump today:

No sooner was the sanitizer flying off the shelf than we received a harsh letter from Liberal MP David McGuinty — brother of Ontario’s Pinocchio Premier — taking us to task for the tone of our critique.

Dramatic Arrivals, Rock Star Treatment, A Friend Runs For the Liberal Nomination in Jeanne Le Ber: Iggy and Justin Receive a Full House

By ck, on July 23rd, 2010

Yes, your’s truly played hooky from work today to attend. Well, no, I actually got permission from my supervisor to get the day off, but you get the idea. It’s nice to take a day off for a reason other than one of my migraines or a medical appointment, actually. I was kind . . . → Read More: Dramatic Arrivals, Rock Star Treatment, A Friend Runs For the Liberal Nomination in Jeanne Le Ber: Iggy and Justin Receive a Full House

Long Form Census Debacle: Nothing More Than an Attempt at a Perfect Storm For an Election Call For Steve

By ck, on July 19th, 2010

With all the blogosphere talking about the potential for Stevie scrapping the long census form; one should stop and ask a few questions. This is, after all, Stevie, the master tactician. One must question the timing of all of this. Not only is it the middle of summer. This is basically happening on . . . → Read More: Long Form Census Debacle: Nothing More Than an Attempt at a Perfect Storm For an Election Call For Steve

Some Red Herring With Your Flap Jacks, Perhaps?

By ck, on July 12th, 2010

Ok, all together now; YUCK!!!

I caught this piece over at Montreal Simon’s, complete with cheesy photo (when it comes to Master Steve, is there any other kind?) of him flipping rather oddly shaped pancakes at a Calgary Stampede Breakfast, complete with plaid shirt. I was going to comment over at his place, . . . → Read More: Some Red Herring With Your Flap Jacks, Perhaps?

Come Out! Come Out! Wherever You Are!

By ck, on June 13th, 2010

Time to come clean now. The Canadian voters deserve to know what’s going on. For the past few weeks now, we have heard nothing but speculation regarding Jean Chretien and a few other political dinosaurs like Ed Broadbent and Roy Romanow; some speculate even ol’ Joe Who is even involved. Although, I do . . . → Read More: Come Out! Come Out! Wherever You Are!

Jean Lapierre Seems To Know More & Coalition Not About Saving Liberals but Giving Bob Rae His Last Hurrah

By ck, on June 9th, 2010

One question, folks? How in the world did Warren Kinsella get on this merger/coalition bandwagon? Why is he doing this? Me thinks he also has an axe to grind…with Iggy. In last night’s CBC news article pointed out that Kinsella refused to divulge exactly who these insiders discussing this proposed merger/coalition are.

Iggy May Not Have the Choice To Leave or Stay and the Bob Rae Problem

By ck, on June 6th, 2010

All I needed was one hour of this morning’s episode of Question Period to know this. Well, more than that, naturally. However, this episode certainly confirmed certain things.

My first comment; never mind Iggy, get rid of Bob Rae! I think he’s an even bigger liability, particularly after his performance this morning. Watch . . . → Read More: Iggy May Not Have the Choice To Leave or Stay and the Bob Rae Problem

More Coalition Talk: Could This Simply Be a Way to Get Jack Layton to Sign Iggy’s Walking Papers?

By ck, on June 4th, 2010

I’m all read out of blogs and columns over coalition governments. However, I picked up this interesting take by Chantal Hebert, where she not only hints at a Bob Rae/Iggy division. We hear Iggy and his friends categorically telling Canadians a coalition with anyone is out of the question. We hear of rumours . . . → Read More: More Coalition Talk: Could This Simply Be a Way to Get Jack Layton to Sign Iggy’s Walking Papers?

All That Coalition Talk —Again, Damned if They Do: Damned if They Don’t.

By ck, on June 3rd, 2010

It appears that this will be the topic of conversation this summer along with the freedom flotilla.

Personally, I still think the left of center parties should merge outright, but sadly, as time goes further along and the NDP keeps sniping at the Liberals, I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Nor a . . . → Read More: All That Coalition Talk —Again, Damned if They Do: Damned if They Don’t.

Iggy and Rae Should Perhaps Take a Cue From Gordon Brown–Perhaps Time for The Ol’ Boys Club To Groom a Youngster

By ck, on May 10th, 2010

Well, so rare have we seen a politician think of the good of his party before his own interests, not to mention, expediting the inevitable. Gordon Brown had his faults as PM, but in the end does the right thing for Labour; resigning to that they can have a chance at forming the . . . → Read More: Iggy and Rae Should Perhaps Take a Cue From Gordon Brown–Perhaps Time for The Ol’ Boys Club To Groom a Youngster

Maybe We Ought to Thank Sen Ruth & Some Sage Advice From a Prog Blogger-The Last Thing We Should be Doing is to ‘Shut the Fuck Up!’- Part D’Uh

By ck, on May 5th, 2010

Ever since Senator Nancy Ruth started swearing like a sailor last Monday, it has gotten people talking and bloggers blogging, even corporate media to some degree. Since she had her tantrum, we learned of 14 groups to date having had their funding cut. That’s getting even more folks talking and bloggers blogging further. . . . → Read More: Maybe We Ought to Thank Sen Ruth & Some Sage Advice From a Prog Blogger-The Last Thing We Should be Doing is to ‘Shut the Fuck Up!’- Part D’Uh

Is Iggy Falling Flat on his Face Really Worth a Harpercon Totalitarian Regime? Video Added

By ck, on May 2nd, 2010

Don’t think it can’t happen. Anything can happen if we let it, including an Idi Amin or a General Pinochet governing. Yes, this is one of those posts many progressive bloggers won’t like me for. Nonetheless, I am playing the Devil’s Advocate in this posting. I wouldn’t call it complete surrender to . . . → Read More: Is Iggy Falling Flat on his Face Really Worth a Harpercon Totalitarian Regime? Video Added

What’s all the Fuss About? Iggy is Ignoring at Least Some of Graves’ Advice

By ck, on April 26th, 2010

Yes, all the right wing media and the Blogging romper roomies all in emergency mode, slamming Frank Graves for simply making comments about the Liberal party and what they should do do if they want to win elections.

We saw Ezzy IreLevant’s blood pressure go up over Mr. Graves and his statements about whoa . . . → Read More: What’s all the Fuss About? Iggy is Ignoring at Least Some of Graves’ Advice

Just a Good Ol’ Boy…’Never’ Meanin’ No Harm….

By ck, on April 21st, 2010

For some reason after reading the latest posts this morning about Harpercon MP and apparent devoted gun nut, Garry Breutkreuz has offered a rather feeble apology and one of the least original kid’s excuses for his threats to wish Iggy bodily harm. Yanno, the typical “Dog made me do it” kinda thing made . . . → Read More: Just a Good Ol’ Boy…’Never’ Meanin’ No Harm….

Nothin’ LIke Good Ol’ Fashioned Violence to Give a Con Meaning in Life–Con MP Wants Iggy Beaten Up-(UPDATE) Con MP Apologizes

By ck, on April 20th, 2010

No, I don’t mean the Americans today. I, unfortunately mean Canadian Cons. Like their American counterparts, they prove to be more and more unstable…Like their American counterparts, they are obsessed with killing the long gun registry. Imagine! No one is trying to take guns away from law abiding citizens here.

My, What Disfunctional People! Iggy, Take a Hint! Don’t Get Sucked Into This Insanity!

By ck, on April 15th, 2010

In the media and the blogosphere from both the right and the left, everybody’s got something different to say from the other. The more we try to update ourselves, the more confusing this all becomes.

In addition to busty hookers and wild parties filled with cocaine and booze as well as alleged influence . . . → Read More: My, What Disfunctional People! Iggy, Take a Hint! Don’t Get Sucked Into This Insanity!

Iggy! You’re Stuck on the Wrong Tune! Change it Already! While You’re at it: Bury Adscam Once and For All!

By ck, on April 10th, 2010

Well, Iggy had been all over this Mr & Mrs Disfunctional thing from day 1 and now he seems to have a one track mind these days when it comes to Steve and the happy couple. He goes on about Steve’s breaking yet another promise about accountibility. I think Iggy needs to back . . . → Read More: Iggy! You’re Stuck on the Wrong Tune! Change it Already!

Could Helena’s New Swanky House be an Indication That Yesterday’s Debacle Was Pre-meditated?

By ck, on April 10th, 2010

At least, in part anyway?

Another conspiracy theory perhaps, but is it so far-fetched? I mean, after getting such a public boot and Steve obviously, dutifully putting square pegs into round holes in an effort to justify keeping her around only to give her such a public boot out of conservative caucus that . . . → Read More: Could Helena’s New Swanky House be an Indication That Yesterday’s Debacle Was Pre-meditated?
