Hybrid Importance

I found this on Failblog. I think it speaks for itself.
Priorities Fail



I have actually witnessed this. A certain large furniture chain (let's just say they deal in cheap, DIY-assembled furniture) has their parking lot setup like this. Hybrid car parking is closer to the door than handicapped. I've always wondered why hybrid owners would get this special privilege to begin with. Then again, I own a Honda Civic which does have a hybrid model, even though mine's not. I could park in these spots. How would they know without looking under the hood?

Foamy on the Environment (Video NSFW)

Foamy the Squirrel, star of web cartoon Neurotically Yours by Jonathan Ian Mathers, has been spouting common sense and harsh ridicule at the brainwashed mainstream masses for the last five years now. I had to post this cartoon because Foamy pretty much sums up my entire feelings on the modern environmental movement. Warning as the video does contain a lot of bad language so it's not safe for work or school.

Report Card Time

As other pundits like to give out report cards to our political leaders at the end of the parliamentary session, I thought I'd do my own too. Unoriginal yes but some of my grades might surprise you.

Michelle Jean: A
Michelle had shown a leadership role in the class and is not afraid to take on continental bullies. Definite signs of improvement

Federal House of Commons

Steven Harper: B-
Steven did a good job weathering Canada through the most bitter recession in recent memory. However, he did hand billions of tax dollars to the undeserving auto industry and created a massive deficit. Has shown willingness to work with others, a definite improvement.

Michael Ignatiff: B+
Michael brought decorum back to the Liberal party and has shown a willingness to work with others. Needs to familiarize himself though with content discussed in previous grade levels.

Jack Layton: F
Jack has failed this year's class. He has shown more interest in furthering his own greedy desire to land a cabinet position that he threated Canadian unity and tossed democracy out the window in the process. He knows his plans are far to radical. Other classmates view him as nothing more than a s--t disturber with no real agenda.

Giles Duceppe: N/A
Wants to transfer to a French immersion school.

Stephane Dion: F
Absent for much of the year, threatened to tear Canada apart over his bitterness in loosing the election. Pushed his radical, economy punishing environmental agenda even when his own party warned him to drop it.

Ontario Legislature

Dalton McGuinty: F
Dalton failed to complete any of his assignments. The work he did hand in not even a dog would eat.

John Tory: D
John shows effort but a lack of leadership skills hampers his ability to learn.

Andrea Horwath: A
Andrea has shown intolerance toward bullies and holds her other students accountable for their actions.

PEPSI: Twice As Much Zionism for A Nickle

On today's theme of weird political stuff, we have a Muslim religious leader in Egypt saying that soft drinks contain hidden Zionist messages. Pepsi, he claims, is an acronym for "Pay Every Penny to Save Israel". I think he may be onto something. I discovered a secret message hidden in a Pepsi bottle once. It said "please play again". What could this ominous message mean?!

Liberal Policy Making in a Nutshell

Some wonder how political parties decide what should be part of their platform. In honour of the recent Liberal convention, I thought I'd detail how that party makes it's decisions.

There's a problem...
Step 1: blame most recent Conservative leader regardless of how much time has passed since they left office, be it a month or ten years.
-People believe you: do nothing
-People don't believe you: proceed to step 2

Step 2: Can we ban it?
-Yes: problem solved, remember to ignore cautions by experts against banning it.
-No: proceed to step 3
-Already banned: legalize it then proceed to step 3

Step 3: Can we tax it?
-Yes: problem solved, set it at some ridiculously high number and call it a premium. Free all inclusive trips to Cuba for all our friends!
-Already taxed: Hike tax by minimum 5% but more is better. Buy the good Scotch and roll some BC bud to celebrate.
-No: There is no "no". The sheer concept of not taxing something would implode the universe

There is no problem...
Step 1: Manufacture fake problem

Step 2: See above...
