It turns out there’s a party running in our federal election who I am even more opposed to than the ReformConservatives.
Yes, I just found out today about the Christian Heritage Party.
Apparently they’ve been around since 1988, but they’ve never even showed up on my radar before. Since they’ve usually only run candidates in less than [...]
OK, that’s some of the only good news I’ve read lately.
So I chose to watch the Canadian federal debate live, and to record the Biden/Palin show for later.
The Canadian debates were interesting, but didn’t really do anything to change my basic opinions. Actually, that’s not true–my respect for Duceppe went up another notch, but it doesn’t matter as long as he’s the head of a [...]
You know, watching all this news about the U.S. financial crisis, I’m forced to wonder if Osama isn’t winning after all.
So, the Clarion fund, which exists to “educate the public about the threat of Islamic terrorism” has massively distributing their DVD, which sure seems designed to make Americans afraid of brown people.
Interesting, the fund seems to have done this massive distribution in the swing states only. I wonder what objective they could hope to achieve [...]
It is now a matter of record that Bush, Cheney, Rice, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Tenet, and Powell were all directly involved in authorizing the use of torture.
The group called itself the National Security Principals Committee. It held dozens of top-secret decisions in the White House. This according to an ABC News investigation, sourced with unnamed, high-ranking [...]
So, I didn’t get the complete and utter McCain meltdown or doddering that I was hoping for, but if the numbers at MediaCurves are right Obama grabbed the biggest slice of the undecideds on every issue. That makes me feel better.
I also the The Arts. Of course I’m an elitist liberal scum, but this just gives me one more reason to despise Stephen Harper. I could rant, but let’s let George at BookNinja do it instead, since he’s so good at it:
First, he tried to set up arts and culture producers, from dance companies to [...]
Did you see any of the new stories about John Jost and teams’s forthcoming research paper? The one about how “behavioural residue” can be used to predict political leanings?
“Conservative rooms tended to be cleaner, more brightly lit, better organized, less cluttered, and also more conventional and ordinary in terms of decoration,” Jost said during a [...]
You are a Social Liberal (76% permissive) [...]
I’m pretty confident in Obama pulling it off at this point. I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up, but with McCain imploding, Palin being more of a joke every day, and this latest round of Hail Mary bullshit, I’m feeling pretty good.
And, you know, almost every time I hear Obama speak I find myself [...]
A surprising number of people have asked me why I am so strongly opposed to Harper and his lot getting a majority government. It’s like they weren’t paying attention.
I would think that anyone who has had their eyes open for the last eight years would have had an object lesson already in what happens when [...]
I love that the Progressive Conservative Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador is spearheading an “Anything But Conservative” anti-Conservative campaign in the election. I wish it was more because of the ReformConservatives’ scary policies, and less because of them screwing over the Atlantic provinces on resource revenues, but I’ll take it anyway.
I am still desperately miserable about the upcoming (Canadian) election. Every time I check out Elect-o-pinion.ca I want to pound nails into my eyes, even if it sometimes does bring me lovely things like 100+ Reasons Not to Vote for Harper.
Today, as my grandfather would say, the sadness is upon me.
Let’s just say that my growing fear that McCain’s Big Lie tactics will work, combined with my stark and utter terror at the nearly inescapable certainty of a Harper majority, have made me miserable today. I’ve lost faith in my fellow man.
Maybe I’ll be chipper [...]
