Back Forty

Can you remember what you were doing forty years ago? I can remember what I was doing exactly forty years ago. (Full disclosure: I usually can’t remember what I did last week.)

It was a day very, very much like this day in Vancouver — hot, sunny — except it was in Winnipeg, and therefore much [...]

Why Hasn’t God Destroyed Canada Yet?

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 [...]

Say No to Same Same [sic] Sex Marraige [sic] (Sick)

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 [...]

Anti-Condom Clowns

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).

Toronto’s Potholes: Yeah, But… No

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 [...]

See C-61, See?

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 [...]

Clown College

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

Not Kosher

File under: The Unending Capacity of American Christianists to Trivialize Their Own Faith and, Not Uncoincidentally, Look Like Totally Retarded Idiots:

CRESAPTOWN, Md.  —  You’ve heard of kosher salt? Now there’s a Christian variety.

Retired barber Joe Godlewski of Cresaptown, Md., says he got tired of hearing television chefs recommend kosher salt, so he did something about [...]

I’m not sure which one I like better.

SWISH!

How many kinds of wrong?

Gay Comics #22, Winter 1944

I mean, the physics of the whole scenario is wack. There’s NO WAY that cake’s icing would fly up like that!

Holyword or Bused

Man, when DeadRobot name-checks you and your favourite bodily function, you’d better pay attention:

Via Blamblog comes a little gadget that BStewart will pee his pants over… The Atheist Bus Sign Generator
