Okay, so I guess you’ve all started to notice that with the huge jump in readership comes an equal leap in commenting. Each post now typically hits the 150-200 comment mark with little effort, and my readers, as evidenced by their comments (most of you–LOL!) are easily the most informed on the net. We need [...]
A pot of controversy to the south, enveloping the most successful radio talk show host in history, continues to boil over. Rush Limbaugh, the Conservative firebrand, who helms a daily show that boasts 20,000,000 listeners, oft referred to as ‘dittoheads’ , is in a considerable depth of hot water. A young woman that spoke to [...]
I received a ton of hate mail from Christy Clark supporters over the last two weeks. No surprise. If I can be bothered I’ll post some of the more entertaining nuggets soon. One woman insists I am the anti-Christ and has seen it in a dream. Another claims I have a love-child that I am [...]
There’s only one thing worse than an addicted fan. It’s a complete bitch on wheels (thanks for writing in Terry Lynn) who supports a corrupt, dishonest and unqualified premier, that has turned lying to her public into a cottage industry. Apparently, I’m a bad man for not posting “what I’ve got” today. I’ve got nothing. [...]
Okay, soooooo….addiction issues, huh? In order of appearance: 1) I was not kidnapped, assaulted, assassinated or away for the weekend at Jack Nicholson’s. These are all (very, very funny) tweets written by people that are readers, or, hysterically, mainstream media supporters! C’mon guys…there were 48,000 readers across Canada on these latest pieces in the span [...]
Whew! Glad I got that all in, aren’t you? I took yesterday off. I blew through quite a few stories earlier this week and you were all having so much fun with the latest one, I thought I’d let you have your fill before I got back to it. No more exhaust pipe jokes, Joe, [...]
Last night when I broke the story on the Vancouver Police Department’s ‘Porngate’, I knew it would be huge. I worked it for awhile and finally when it was confirmed to me by yesterday afternoon by multiple officers of the VPD, I wrote it. I usually make three calls when it’s that big. One, to [...]
Amid the celebrations, typically Canadian, of the slap on the wrist the Shafia family murderers received yesterday, no one, as yet, has addressed the elephant in the room. How could this have happened in Canada? Oh, we’ve seen crimes of this kind before. A rabid Sikh renegade killing his wife and pretending through crocodile tears [...]
I’ve always had a very complex, if not complicated, belief system. I was raised strictly Christian Orthodox; we, my three sisters and I, attended Sunday school and were thus in church every single Sunday. I was an altar boy for five years. Every week was one more painful exercise in providing my mother an opportunity [...]
The world became an even more fragile place in 2011. Good didn’t often trump evil. We endured war, pestilence, disease, murder, uprisings, Charlie Sheen and Kim Kardashian–since we’re to include all major disasters, even the insignificant ones. Well, you know what I mean… Picking the top news stories of the year wasn’t easy. There were [...]
