"Everybody Draw Muhammed" Day

Even if you want to make a point about censorship, you can't be too careful on “Everybody Draw Muhammed” Day…

Happy Third Birthday, Pace!

Stupid YouTube blocked the audio on this stupid video because I used a stupid Oasis song as the backing track.  So there was a bit of a delay (which you might not even notice since I'm backdating this post to May 19 when the video was supposed to go up, dagnabit!) so I could get […]

Tuesday Tunes – "From the happy/Day I met you/Made a bet/I was gonna get you"

This is my favourite song from my favourite 8-track in my parent's collection when I was growing up.  (Ah, K-Tel, is there anything you couldn't do?)

Regina Public Library's Dramatic Shift is an Uplifting Story

Yep, it is. 

Leader's Gala, a snub to working people

I hope no one thinks they've stumbled upon NDP Watch with this post but I have to admit that I had to do a double (actually triple) take when I received the latest e-newsletter from the provincial NDP with the headline, “Leader's Gala, a snub to working people, and more policy videos.”  For a moment, […]
