Study Explains Liberals, Religious Right in a Nutshell

The universal explanation as to why liberals are stuck up idiots and why the religious right does the bad things that they do."The study, said Mazar, an assistant professor of marketing with the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management, builds on research into the idea of “moral regulation” — that people either consciously or unconsciously...

Hot Headed on the Heels of Climategate

Violence erupts at the climate change conference in Copenhagen. It's a shameful spectacle of the worst kind. One thing about socialists. They hate war but they love to violently riot. The crowed has been described as groups of European leftists, naturally.As I said in one of my previous articles, I believed that the pro-anthropogenic (man made) global...

Something Rotten in the State of Denmark

It's that time again. We're getting bombarded with more climate change hysteria by "scientists" and activists as world leaders prepare to meet in Copenhagen. The goal of the meeting is to hash out a new deal to replace the largely failed Kyoto Protocol of 11 years ago. Arguably, there is a lot more debate now than there was, say five years ago. The...

My Stew Tastes Like Bark

It wasn't that long ago that dog was a common sight on the menu in China. Today, most Chinese are repulsed by the idea of eating their pet. How regressive they've become!Here's an interesting article from the BBC of course. Who else would publish this? The article advocates that eating your pets may not be a bad idea in terms of reducing carbon emissions....

Bring Out Your Dead!

"Cattle!" I exclaimed watching the news today of long line-ups for H1N1 flu shots across Toronto. There have been varying reports of wait times to get the vaccine. Two hours at the International Centre, and I could of sworn I heard 7 hours at one clinic. The City of Toronto has exploded into full on Swine Flu hysteria. People are cutting in line in...

GW Sceptics Must Become More Organized

I was reading an article about how 150 climate change activists disrupted Parliament this week, chanting that the government wasn't doing enough to stop the looming "disaster". In the past couple of years, the argument in favour of man made (anthropogenic) global warming has been whittled away. When the infamous "hockey stick" graph was proven to...

The Climate is Changing: Hell Has Frozen Over

Satan himself has laced up his ice skates this week to practice his triple sow cows on the frosty Phlegethon. The BBC has admitted that the world has not warmed 1998, in line with what climate sceptics have been saying for years. They even go as far as saying that the climate models were wrong. However, the BBC was quick to note that the "real" scientists...

Obama's Peace Prize After Some Thought

I've gotten over the initial shock of Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. To quote the prize committee themselves, he was given the award "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." When you look at Obama's foreign policy, there's really nothing spectacular there. Other than a watered down...

The Best Political Shows: Penn & Teller's Bullshit

I thought I'd do a rundown on some of the best political shows on TV. Not the serious programs for a change but instead those that make light of politics. Today, we're looking at Penn & Teller's Bullshit. The show airs on The Movie Network's main station (Bell TV channel 300/840) Thursdays at 11pm.In Bullshit, Penn Jilette and his partner Teller...

Obama Wins Peace Prize?

Even the liberals I know were scratching their heads over this one. Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. What did he do? "Gave hope for peace." Right... He hasn't done anything, at all, except show up to work. I think it's time we did away with the peace prize. The Nobel Prize was originally supposed to award people in the field of science. At this...

An Ground Shaking Observation

Just a thought running through my mind lately given the recent tragedies in South-East Asia. There's one thing that particularly worries me though. You'd be surprised at how many people think tsunamis are caused by anthropogenic global warming. I've run into this misconception a few times now. I find that it's most often "educated" people that hold...

Catastrophe! What Catastrophe?!

I need a trillion dollars to combat a vary real and vary serious dilemma facing society today. I've got a sequestering plan that's going to cost a lot but it will prevent harm to the human race. I'm going to need a lot of concrete, tax dollars, and manpower to put this plan together but for god's sake, it's for the future of humanity and of our children....

Racism Still Exists in America, But Not Where You Think

"You lie!" Congressman Joe Wilson yelled that to Obama during his health care address last week. Jimmy Carter condemned the comment as having racist undertones. One New York Times reporter claimed to have 'heard' it as "you lie, boy!" Boy being a term once used by white southerners in the past to dehumanize blacks, as it was a title for slaves. Obama...

Why the CBC Hates FOX News

A great many people in the media today lament FOX News, the ultra-conservative 24-hour news station which airs in the US and on Canadian satellite. Those from the CBC seem to particularly sneer the network for it's strong political bias and editorials disguised as news. The difference between the two is that FOX is the top rated news station in North...

Attention Canadian Youth! Mike Thinks You're Morons

Seig heil to all my readers. I have now proclaimed myself the infallible ruler of the nation. Get ready to do my bidding.

September 11th Retrospective

Excuse the lateness of this article. Every year on September 11th, I feel compelled to write something but I never seem to get around to it. It's a vary difficult topic to approach, even for the most seasoned journalists. That day back in 2001 was the defining moment of Generation Y. Unlike the strife our grandparents faced during the Second World...

Obama's Bushisms and His Politcal Stance

Just a slight observation about Obama's speeches lately. Particularly in the past week regarding education and health reform. On education, he claimed that Americans who do not graduate high school are basically betraying their country. In the health reforms, he blasted Republican fear mongering. Regardless of whether you're for him or against him,...

Loving to Hate the Bike

I think it's fair to say that Canadians have a love-hate relationship with the bicycle and those who ride them. Especially now that cycling has become a "green" alternative to driving. I'm sure everyone who drives has been tempted to throw a milkshake at those spandex clad idiots who run stop signs and insist on riding down busy roads barely wide enough...

Ignatiff Gambling with Democracy

I'm really starting to get fed up of this garbage. Liberal leader Michael Ignatiff is threatening to pull the plug on the Conservatives come Fall. If he goes through with this, it would be the fourth election in the last five years. One has to admire the tenacity of the Liberals. However, is this really about serving the public good or rather making...

Britain: The Mighty Have Fallen

Britain came from humble beginnings as the home of Celtic and Norse tribes inhabiting the islands off the north west coast of Gaul. It was invaded by the Romans, then then Normans, then united under a single kingdom. It became the largest and most powerful empire the world has ever known controlling territories from Canada to India, to Hong Kong, and...

Paying For Others to Have Kids?

There's a bit of a debate raging right now over whether the Ontario Government should fund in-vitro fertilization.

Lockerbie Bomber's Release Pouring Salt in Old Wounds

I've been covering politics for what, four years now at least. I had long held onto the belief that nothing surprised me. This week's story of the Scottish government's decision to release Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi on compassionate grounds I must admit had me a little taken back. For those who don't know, al-Megrahi, an ex-Libyan intelligence...

During yesterday's rather heated debate at Toronto city hall over whether the strike deal should be ratified, council took a rare but not unprecedented step.

The debate over the deal continued behind...

The Disgrace that is Obama
