Shorter Climbing Out Of The Dark: Alleging something and saying something are two very different things, and this proves that the Globe and Mail is a dirty Commie rag. Shorter Matthew Siscoe: Since Al-Qaeda is Sunni and Saddam Hussein was Sunni, it therefore stands to reason that a small, disorganized and mostly loathed band of […]

Finally, there’s enough information available to make an informed decision on the US Presidential election! Or, at least, there will be soon. IDW is publishing Presidential Comics, a flip-book biography of Barack Obama and John McCain, in October. The Obama side is written by Jeff Mariotte, who will presumably not indulge his tendency to have […]

(Seriously, I have like the worst cold ever, I’ve been all ugh for like two days now and the only thing I have in the hopper is this. I usually wait three or four weeks to post a new one of these because I like to space them out but I want to get some […]

Things That Are Good About Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog: – Neil Patrick Harris.

To the fine folks of Muslims Against Sharia (located in the well-known Islamic enclave of Omaha, Nebraska – not that I am questioning their Islamic credentials, because god knows if there’s one thing moderate Muslims like doing, it’s defending Michael Savage). They’ve seen fit to issue a drive-by comment, reprimanding all of us who might […]

L’il C: s’rprisingly d’cent j’dge. Courtney and Joshua: hip hop and rumba. The hip-hop was solid (Dave Scott! Finally a good hip-hop choreographer who doesn’t have to blend in lyrical form! About goddamned time); a charming mini-plotline, entertainingly danced. The judges more or less got it right: Joshua nailed it and Courtney didn’t but was […]

Regular readers will know full well that I have no love for Stephen Harper, considering him a feckless, short-sighted and generally mean-spirited individual. His stance on the repatriation of Omar Khadr does nothing to change this opinion. Let us recap: Omar Khadr was arrested as a child soldier in the Afghanistan war when he was […]

A Moroccan-born Muslim woman, married to a French man, living in the east of Paris, with three French children, lost her appeal for citizenship on the grounds that she has adopted a radical practice of her religion, incompatible with essential values of the French community, particularly the principle of equality of the sexes. And, I […]
