Back on Hiatus

Okay, everybody. I'm back on hiatus. Apparently somebody already wrote the book I was writing so I'm back to the drawing board. Literally. I'm thinking it might be easier to draw a book than to write one.

Just kidding. I can't draw, either.

Well, smell yuz when I've got my introduction written.

Women and Prime Ministers First

I guess now that Stephen Harper has done what he can as the Prime Minister of Canada for women and their children (let your politics take you where it does on that one), he's decided he's just the right man (sigh, I guess it's always going to be a man who decides he's just the right man) to do what he can for women and their children world over.

Well, as a Canadian woman with children, here's my advance press release to women and children world over: Learn to do more with less.

Ban the Burka

Yes, yes, we all know why France banned the burka - because it's France. And if the New Conservative Government of Canada banned the burka it would just be bigotry without the cultural mitigating factors that France can get away with because it's France. But if a Liberal government banned the burka it would be a good thing. The burka should be banned for all the right reasons.

Don't agree? Okay. But what if Afghanistan banned the burka? Wouldn't that be something to celebrate?

Of course it would. So cut the crap everybody. The burka is a cloth prison and instrument of oppression used against Muslim women by Muslim men in countries where women have no rights at all. Want to wear the burka here in Canada because you converted to Islam and are pretending the burka has some sort of religious significance?

Go tell your sisters in Afghanistan all about it.

Liberals and Gift Horses

Thousands of Canadians are out in the streets demonstrating against the prorogation of Parliament and the Liberals respond with: "Prorogation if necessary, but not necessarily prorogation"?!?!?!

Great. That's just... great. Thanks for showing up, Liberals.

Rogers and Me

Check your mail, Rogers subscribers. There's a real sweetheart of a deal in the offing from Pa Rogers: Half the service, for Twice the price!

Now that's what I call "getting Rogered".

Well, smell ya later, suckahs. I'm off in search of a new internet provider.

"Harper = Hitler"

Apparently, young(ish) New Conservatives were in attendance at Canadians Against the Prorogation of Parliament rallies, too, holding up signs saying "Harper = Hitler", for some reason that is incomprehensible to me.

Stalin, maybe. But Hitler? Gosh. How bad are the working conditions in New Conservative backrooms these days, anyway?

My guess is the dirty tricks were authorized from on high. Not that anybody should really care very much. It looks to me like Stephen Harper et al have successfully returned the New Conservative Party of Canada back to its grassroots supporters - and given up on all those other Canadians who actually voted it into power.

Which is good, when you really stop and think about it. Because the New Conservatives don't want to govern Canada - they want to ungovern it.

Ironic Quote of the Year

Here, straight from the mouthpiece of the official newspaper of the New Conservative Party of Canada, the National Post, is Stephen Harper in response to the thousands of Canadians who turned out to rallies all across the country to protest his government's prorogation of Parliament:

"Let me just say the government is extremely occupied these days. The government has a lot of work to do to get ourselves prepared for the upcoming agenda of Parliament."

You keep digging, Mr. Prime Minister. Hey - maybe one of those infrastructure projects could be a brand new shovel factory!
