Goose-stepping our way to the Olympics.

Just wanted to post my always reasonable reaction to Democracy Now host Amy Goodman.

That reaction, of course, is – WHO THE FUCK thought this woman was going to cause trouble?

I know, I know – anyone can be detained and have his/her belongings checked over. Just pure coincidence that she might be coming up here to speak on the stifling of free expression around all things Olympic, so as not to offend the commercial interests putting their precious millions into this egregiously over-hyped event. Never mind that the city is trying to pass bylaws allowing them to physically force the homeless into shelters “for their own good” – but just for those few weeks, of course.

Thanks, of course, to Matthew Good for speaking on this on his blog

For my beloveds – Gordo, Grego, VANOC, RCMP, VPD, and, of course, CBSA – SEIG HEIL! SEIG HEIL! SEIG HEIL!

P.S. – Don’t forget to keep those jackboots polished – gotta look spiffy when yer sayin’ “PAPERS, PLEASE!”

Outsourced Olympic souvenirs? WTF, Eh?

OK, so who was the super-brain who decided that it would be best to outsource the production of Vancouver Olympic merchandise to China (or whichever other country put in a NICE LOW BID)??!? Way to HELP STIMULATE THE CANADIAN (and British Columbian) ECONOMY, boys! Very patriotic of you, too.

As if I didn’t already have enough reason not to buy any of that shit – that probably includes the Canadian Hockey jerseys, as well – the only thing I MIGHT have POSSIBLY maybe CONSIDERED buying – now I hear you can’t even think of helping stimulate the Canadian textiles sector. Lemme guess -”If we’d gone with Canadian producers, the merchandise would have been too expensive and nobody would have bought any of it.” How much profit do you need to make from these pieces of crap, anyway – 500%? 1000? Wouldn’t 100% have been sufficient?

Lame.

With any luck there won’t be another olympics – Winter or Summer – held in Canada in my lifetime*. The hype and hypocrisy are givin’ me a sour stomach.

Rachel Marsden in “HOW NOT TO BE CANADIAN”

Sweet fucking HELL!

Who does Rachel Marsden think she is? On which qualifications does she base her assertions that she knows that us WHITEYS (or CRACKERS, etc) have been the sole bringers of civilisation to the rest of the world?

Seems that the publication, the Telegraph, is little better than an online version of the American FOX news.

Truly PATHETIC.

I find it revolting to think that someone raised in Canada, one of the most inclusive societies in the world, would so blithely spout this utter rubbish. And if she’s doing this solely to be clever, well, that’s even worse – especially from my point of view, as I despise that sort of cleverness, and the arrogance that accompanies it, with a passion just short of homicidal rage.

RACHEL – You are a blight on Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and, basically, ALL OF HUMANITY.

Uhh, what country do you think this is?

To Stevie, Gordo, Grego, VANOC, RCMP, Vancouver Police: 

We live in CANADA not the DICTATORIAL REPUBLIC OF VANCOUVER-WHISTLER-STAN, you fucking morons. 

What is this shit with approaching people who took a class taught by someone who (GASP!) doesn’t support the Olympics, and the clusterfuckery that has resulted from it (Athletes’ Village ring a bell?).  And how about them there “Free Speech ZONES”? Pretty cool idea, huh?  Too bad it was already in place – it’s called CANADA.  Unless there have been changes to our Charter Rights, you are COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE FOR EVEN THINKING of restricting peoples’ right to protest (peacefully, of course) WHEREVER THEY WANT.  Got it? GOOD!!!

Esp. to Stevie and Gordo – why do you think I didn’t vote for either of you?  It’s because you both would do the Gruesome Twosome – Gorgeous George Bush and DARTH Cheney – proud.  You are approaching their class of ARROGANCE and HEARTLESSNESS with shocking speed.

Therefore, in conclusion, you are all welcome to go fuck off and die at any time.  HAVE A NICE DAY, Y’ALL.

Hardy-har-har, Steven!

Our beloved Prime Robot Minister, Steven Harper, apparently decided to back up one of his Ministers when calls came for said minister’s head, after having made a thoroughly tasteless joke about the deaths linked to the recent listeriosis outbreak.

Story from AP News

You should back him up, Steven – after all, he’s as funny as you are – namely, not at all.

Here’s to another minority government.

Giving up golf for the families??!?

Keith Olbermann on Genius Worthless Bonehead’s interview in which he, among other idiotic statements, mentions that he has given up golf in order to show solidarity with the families of the 4000 soldiers who have died for his ill-conceived war. Even worse than that is the documented proof that he did not, in fact, stop golfing on the date in question (19 August 2003) – news agencies have solid photographic documentation showing this fuckwit golfing on 13 October 2003. In the “adding insult to injury” category, this sacrifice may not have been George’s own idea. WAY TO TAKE ONE FOR THE PEOPLE, ASSHOLE.

I had heard of this statement already, but a tip of the hat to Matthew Good for bringing Olbermann’s “Special Comment” to my attention.

It is certainly worth watching all 12 minutes of surgically precise dissection of Bush’s incomptence – and atrocious, if not sociopathic, lack of real empathy for the plight in which he will be leaving the United States when he (finally!) leaves office on 20 January 2009. That date cannot come soon enough.

Keith Olbermann, in this piece, looks ready to completely lose his composure, and blast off into an unfocused, and easily dismissed, tirade (as I no doubt would).

Nicely put. Too bad George and his fellow Republicans will just dismiss it as a liberal smear piece.

No regrets = no conscience

Thanks, George, for confirming, yet again, what most of the world has come to feel about you:

You are an arrogant, ignorant, self-righteous, heartless, megalomaniacal, morally bankrupt waste of life, skin, space and air.

Oh, and as Reginold has so well put it – twice – YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON!!!

You’ve caused more American citizens to die in this war than in 9-11, helped make your economy FUBAR (along with the mortgage crisis). And lets not forget fucking over New Orleans by drawing funding for better dykes into your war.

Pathetic.

I’ve said this already, so this is a “refresher” – Your only chance to redeem any infinitesimal fraction of honour would be to commit jumonji-giri*. Same goes for (your) Master DICK(head) Cheney.

Fuck off and die, the both of you!

*Last paragraph of the Ritual section, Genius Boy.

Sycophantic TWIT

Dear Mitt Romney,

Please, in the future, remove your tongue from Dubya’s ass BEFORE you speak.

Do you really think puckering up to an arrogant, ignorant ass like Gorgeous George II will help you in your bid to become President?

HA!

Haaa-ha!!!

For George:

In honour of the Senate and Congress finally stopping you from screwing the people, yet again.

I raise a NICE BIG COLD GLASS of WATER to this occasion.

Pity this wasn’t a war funding bill, but it’s a start.

…and another one BITES THE DUST!

Let’s all give a nice, BIG “¡Adios, PENDEJO!” to Alberto Gonzales, who FINALLY is getting out of the monumental CLUSTERFUCK that is currently the Bush Administration top brass.

Alberto, please just sit and wait for your Congressional subpoenas – don’t bother trying to get into anything even remotely like civil service – it’s obvious you are, and ever will be, only a hindrance to democracy and due process.

¡Vaya con Dios, PINCHE MARICON!
