Not all conservatives are stupid

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

…just most of them. To wit: “Lead researcher Gordon Hodson told LiveScience that the results of the study indicate a vicious cycle, in which people with low intelligence are drawn to socially conservative ideologies. In turn, those ideologies can contribute to prejudices. “Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order,” he said, explaining why [...]

On that fake ceremony

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

…by the always-authentic David Akin. Me? I don’t like any of it. It stinks. It makes the Sun folks, many of whom I know and like, look bad. Now, as I pointed out to another Sun chum, there is an essential falsity at the centre of everything that TV news does: asking you to pretend [...]

GROUPLOVE, Tongue Tied

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Stereotypical backwards-masked pop video, with cliched hash brownie appearance, and unsurprising cameos by weird threatening guys in wrestling masks. My kids’ fave tune of the moment.

Stupid media tricks

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Dumb.
Dumber.
Brings to mind that old adage of, er, me: the only people who still believe that people look to the media for ethical inspiration are the media.

Romney CNN quote

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Is this accurate? Jut saw it on Twitter. If so, he’s a goner:
Romney on CNN: “I’m not concerned about the very poor … We will hear from the Democrat Party the plight of the poor”

Stupid Blogger© Update

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

As a Stupid Blogger© of some standing, I continue to be amused by the Left Coast’s ongoing campaign to elicit strong reactions from Bob “Not Interim” Rae.
Watch this.

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Son One is finding ways to stay up all night on Internet. Exhausted parents looking for way to jam wireless signals without having to unplug wireless/change passwords every night. Does a simple machine exist to jam signal during bedtime?

#ProjectSittingRoom

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Lena!


The incurable re-decorator strikes again! It’s a well known fact that I love changing things up. Remember my Reno-cation of 2011? Oh yeah, a home face-lift of epic proportions. Then I followed up with #ProjectLivingRoom, one of my favourite redesigns ever. (#urbanbarn fan4life) And while I assumed I’d taken care of the re-decorating bug for good, there was just [...]

Son Two is at the bottom of this pile

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

We won! Finally! And against the team that hasn’t lost a game all season! Son, the goalie, is under that pile-on.  Father, the proud one, took the picture to brag. (It’s also a souvenir: everyone expects Rob Ford is going to lock out city workers this weekend – which means that hockey, at places like [...]

In today’s Sun: it’s not telling a story. It’s telling the right story.

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Whenever they’re in political trouble, progressives — Liberals and New Democrats in Canada, Democrats in the United States — will say they’d win more if only they communicated better. If only they had a better “narrative,” they say, they’d beat conservatives more often. So, a young senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, once called for a [...]

In today’s Hill Times: welcome back, MPs

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

There’s been a plethora of polls, in the past few days, and they tell us interesting things. For the Conservatives, they’re down a bit, but not enough to relinquish the gold medal spot they’ve had for many, many months. For those of you who say the Harpies have become a Seinfeld government—a government about nothing—you’re [...]

In today’s Sun: Capitalism sucks. Everyone agrees.

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Capitalism, in its current form, has no place in the world around us. Those words are not mine. They’re a quote, from a fellow named Klaus Schwab. For the many who are unlikely to have heard of Klaus Schwab before, rest assured — he’s no socialist rabble-rouser. He’s a billionaire, in fact, and the founder [...]

Two media jerks

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

Patriquin’s the biggest asshole in Canadian journalism, and that’s saying something. Typically, he misses the most obvious criticism: why is this priest allowed to comment on politics, year after year, when other priests* are ordered to ref…

R.I.P., Seamus the Irish Setter

Posted February 3rd, 2012 by Warren

This morning, as we waited for a client call to start, I told my staff – animal lovers all – about the sad, er, tale of Seamus, Mitt Romney’s Irish Setter. They didn’t believe me.  When I finished telling the tale, they were in shock. I told them we should start a contest: come up [...]
