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.

GO CAN(F)UCK(YOURSELVE)S

Thanks for nothing, ya worthless bums.

As of tonight, I’ve watched my last Canuck, and last NHL, hockey game.  If they’re smart, the GMs/coaches of Team Canada will drop any Canucks that even had a slight chance of making the team – and DEFINITELY KICK LUONGO TO THE CURB like the GARBAGE he was in this series.

[kevinspacey]Is it possible for you to HOLD A FUCKING LEAD for TEN SECONDS??!?[/kevinspacey]

I know I’m dreaming, but I would love nothing better for the fans at your regular season home opener to STAND, TURN THEIR BACKS ON ALL OF YOU, AND WALK OUT ON YOU FOR GOOD.

DIE CANUCKS DIE – DIE DIE DIE!!!

WTF,CANUCKLEHEADS – PART “DUH?”

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ….

Hey – WAKE THE FUCK UP, YOU TWITS!!!!!!

This is the PLAYOFFS, not a PRE-SEASON GAME.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE?

Maybe Gillis should hire Mark Harmon aka “Gibbs” of NCIS, so that he can give you each a REALLY FUCKING HARD DOPE SLAP every time you come back to the bench.

Sound good? Think that would work?

PATHETIC.

P.S. – TURNED GAME OFF @ 5-2. EVERTHING I SAID ABOVE – DOESN’T COME CLOSE TO HOW POORLY YOU PLAYED.

P.P.S – If we wanted to look at GARBAGE, we’d go out to hang by our dumpsters.  GOT IT? GOOOOOOOD!!!!

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.

Fuck You Very Much, Ted Rogers

Well, it looks like I’ll have to wait for a lottery win to get that iPhone – $60/month as the minimum plan?  Can I get a 10% discount if I sign my first born’s soul to you? Maybe throw in Caller ID at that price, because you care?

I was so looking forward to the iPhone coming here, legitimately, to good ol’ Canuckistan, but it appears Ted wants us to bend over in order to get our new, shiny toy (I have no illusions about its necessity – plenty of other phones oot there that can make calls – but that interface! *drools*).

So, thanks for being a KILLJOY, Ted – with any luck, iPhones on your store shelves will start to look like relics, covered in dust and cobwebs, as people try to wait you out.  Doubt it’ll work, though – no cut and run for you, eh, Ted?

Enjoy the deafening rage of customer’s objections – music to your ears, no doubt.

Again, fuck you very much,

A-not-anytime-this-millenium-at-that-rape-I-mean-rate-customer,

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!
