Webcomic artist Patrick Farley nails the American same-sex marriage debate in graphical form:

Patrick Farley on America’s Same-Sex Marriage Debate
More evolved societies — the ones which considered the pink arguments somewhere between “wrong” and “ludicrous” before granting full marriage equality to gays and lesbians — must look at the U.S. flavour of this debate as a [...]

Well, the lying idiots at Maggie Gallagher’s National Organization for Marriage — the group which is, apparently, against more people marrying — has come out with another ad filled with lies, misrepresentations and, as an added bonus, a thinly-veiled appeal to race-based bigotry. But the level of intelligence operating behind these vile ads is laid [...]

Okay, so maybe I don’t promise.
But for reasons to be revealed in a post or two, I won’t be bothering you with the decrepit craptitude of Toronto’s streets for much longer. For now, though… enjoy!
Remember how I was telling you about the incompetent pothole repair crews:
On the two most recent occasions I’ve witnessed pothole repairs, [...]

So, hey, it’s International Day Against Homophobia 2009 today. IDAH’09!
I want to tell you a story about a teenager in Calgary, Alberta. A normal kid, smarter than most, bookish but enthusiastically into politics and culture in all its forms. Like most teenaged young men, he had a healthy (read: voracious) sexual appetite. He had an [...]

This is the entrance to the Bay at Yonge and Bloor Streets in downtown Toronto. It’s also the entrance to the most-visited subway stop covering the two most-traveled transit lines in the city. This is how we roll in Toronto:

It would be funny if it wasn’t so fucking shabby and inept and disgusting. And [...]

There are (at least) two sides to every story — one of which was yesterday’s Condom Fairy ad — even though other side(s) to The Pregnancy/STD-Avoidance Story are often knowingly false (or criminally delusional). And President Obama’s recent slashing of abstinence-only funding has sent shockwaves through the ranks of those who’d rather lie to children [...]

You had to laugh.
Springtime in Toronto is always… interesting when it comes to our roadways. No city is immune to potholes but every year, Toronto’s potholes are increasingly epidemic. Here’s why you had to laugh: City Councillor Karen Stintz has proposed corporate-sponsored road repair in the city:
“People realize and they know that the potholes are [...]

Bill C-61 is an absurd new law, touted as “made in Canada” but crafted by greedy American corporations and brought to the table by Canadian legislator — uninformed fools who, for want of a better expression, don’t know shit about fuck (that would be Stephen Harper’s Conservatives).
Michael Geist writes often (and relentlessly) about the absurdity [...]

Hebiclens / WMxdesign has some fun with the scary clowns of the Republican party:

No, sirree. From disaboom:
Do age and certain disabilities make a person incapable of consenting to be the subject of erotic photography? That question will be put to the Massachusetts state House with Massachusetts House Bill 1668, a proposed amendment to the state’s child pornography law that would make it a serious crime to photograph with [...]
