Still recovering from the US Election results, I ended up listening to Springsteen’s “The Ghost of Tom Joad” album this morning which seemed like a good fit with what happened in the Rust Belt last week (tellingly, in the New York Times story in that last link, the man who inspired the Springsteen song I’m posting […]
“I Voted For the Middle Finger, The Wrecking Ball” – The Atlantic I am tired of the machine rolling over us—all of us. The Clinton machine, the Republican machine, the big media, investment banking, hedge fund carrying interest, corporatist, lobbying, influence peddling, getting elected and immediately begin fundraising for the next election machine—they can all […]

Did I ever post this before? So much cuteness – the dad singing with his daughter to keep her from being scared of fireworks, the daughter keeping thinking she hears them, her ragtime voice at the end, how the dad ducks behind her as the song ends so the camera focuses purely on his daughter […]

It came a bit late in the day but turns out that actor/comedian, Zach Galifianakas has endorsed Charlie Clark for Mayor of Saskatoon! Turns out that the Hollywood star is actually connected to Charlie Clark as he is married to Clark’s cousin.
Heard this while listening to our satellite TV’s “Tropical” station. (No idea if the Google Translation of some lyrics in the title of this post is accurate or not.) “Déjame Acompañarte” – Omar Enrique & Elvis Crespo
I never realised how the Netflix interface of rows of similar-themed movies mimics the layout of an old-fashioned video store. (Also note, this was around Grey Cup time and Pace was sporting a Riders jacket *and* green hair!)
