Not too much funny about the election results but this made me chuckle.
Happier times… And when Cam Broten beat Ryan Meili by 44 votes out of thousands cast after Ryan was widely expected to win, I learned the hard way that you can never count someone out. I never thought Trump could beat Clinton but I never assumed it was a sure thing either. In fact, I […]
Holy fucking shit! After saying yesterday that the polls were predicting a Hillary Clinton victory with 75-99% certainty, her campaign flamed out like perhaps no other campaign in history. Yesterday, I went from joking about whether she could flip traditionally Republican states like Alaska and Utah to having two hours of sleep and actually *puking* […]
I’ve got a couple fun picks (Alaska and Utah go Democrat?) but with how crazy this whole election has been, why not have one last unexpected moment? (If I was being really crazy, I’d pick Hillary to flip Texas – *that* would be something!) You can play too!
I’m still not a huge Hillary fan for all manner of reasons but she has grown on me as the election has progressed. So, with pollsters predicting her becoming the 45th President of the United States tomorrow is somewhere between 75 – 99% inevitable, I thought I’d balance my earlier list of “10 Reasons Hillary Should […]
With only a couple days left, if you want a nice break from the non-stop US election coverage, why not check out “Undecided: The Movie” on Netflix? This hilarious mockumentary follows two “undecided voters” as they interact with various candidates and try to decide who to support. Shot with the actual US election campaign as […]
I don’t follow baseball as closely as I used to but I always love sports stories like this – the Chicago Cubs, perennial losers who may have been cursed, finally won the World Series after 108 years in a very exciting game that went to extra innings (or so I hear – I didn’t watch […]
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.
A Mexican brewery tricked Donald Trump supporters outside one of his rallies into buying shirts that appeared to have a pro-Trump message but, when the temperature rose, would display an anti-Trump message. The brewer promised to use proceeds from the sale to fund an election party in Mexico around the time of the election.
The Al Smith Dinner is an American political institution. Since 1960, this fundraiser for underprivileged children put on by the Archdiocese of New York in memory of a former New York Governor and the first Catholic to run for President. It usually features the two Presidential candidates in a humourous, roast-style environment which is usually their last […]
