Not Waiting For The Asteroid

Wait... Michael Valpy's still alive??

It's the oddest thing. He wanted to interview me for the Globe and Mail, but only one of us was getting paid.

Isn't he a Jurrasic Journalist?

Just my 2 Coynes worth...

I believe he wrote some books on the Constitution in another era. Something about all these rights we have, but still don't know about wrong.

Cheers

I feel really badly about it. He did a loving interview with Michael Ignatieff.

Hilarious. Now he made it onto your blog.

so, Mike's added you to his favorites then?

It's not like he couldn't do a little bit of research here to find out where you stand on the topics of the day.
remember research Mike?

But, but, just think of all the solid journalistic questions he could have asked you....

You might have been famooose!!!!!!

Oh, sorry, did I spell that wrong?

Mikey got all his research from his pal Bernie.

Does Newstalk pay you when you guest on Gormley?

Now I don't feel so bad for not paying for Canadians newspapers!

Wait... The Globe & Mail still exists?

I saw one in the waiting room at Air Canada Cargo once.

What some fail to realize is Sheriff Joe has to fight his own government to enforce the law. When charged with 'profiling' while arresting illegal immigrants. His reply was I ask the illegal aliens. He did get in trouble for the loaf. That is where all the food is ground up and baked. As he replied when they said the tents were hot, the boys in Iraq are in tents and they never broke the law.

Whoops wrong thread..it has been a long bad day.

"I saw one in the waiting room at Air Canada Cargo once."

Yeah, but that one was lining the base of the animal cage. I don't think anybody read it.

That's why my fish get cleaned on Canadian Tire flyers.

"kate says... He did a loving interview with
Michael Ignatieff."

i remember that little ditty... it was all about
what a family guy iggy was.

I really didn't think my question of 7:58 would get an answer .......and it didn't so I'm left to wonder - is this about the money or about Volpe?

So - Kate - you leave us to ponder - would you have done the interview had you got paid?

I think you would have.

a different bob:
It's about Valpy. Have you read his opinion pieces? Writing about Belinda Stronach, he gushed.

Oh gee - I guess that clears it up for me, Chutz.
Thanks!

WTF.

I guess you didn't read the Stronach piece.
There's journalism, and then there's fluff.

Yeah, Iggy: another Liberal adulterer.

Saw Kathy on YouTube the other day. She looked vaguely feminine...

As long as I continue to look and _be_ more masculine than you "Jerome", then I'm happy!

Yikes! Methinks KS's "happiness" is the result of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories and corticosteroids.

And what's with all the air-quotes?

It's the new paradigm in dying dead tree media that everything old is new again. The interviewee should now pay to be interviewed as it was in the beginning.

My view of the Globe and Mail, for what it's worth?

In the '90s, under Bill Thorsell's tutelage, it became unabashedly the Fag Rag.

And as I became interested in certain issues and did my homework regarding them, and gradually came to the realization that neither the CBC nor the G&M were reporting the facts regarding them, the Canada’s “national newspaper” became the Probe and Fail.

Why would Kate give Valpy an interview? G*d alone knows what spin he'd put on it, being part of the Toronto-centric, silver-spoon-in-mouth, lib-left cabal.

Stay classy, Jerome. Now go brag to your mother and sisters that your first (and only) tactic when arguing with women is to insult their looks. Thank God for liberal female self-hatred, eh?

And I can't believe you told Valpy he'd have to "pay to play," Kate. As a member of the Fifth Estate myself, I applaud you.

Hey - does anyone remember when Valpy was the Globe's "religion" columnist? Such good times...

Rick, Rick...if I wanted to insult La Shaidle's looks, Lordy knows I would have ammunition galore. No, I believe other factors - meds included - have caused her violent swing from the squishy lefty who attributed the outcome of the Vietnam war to the Berrigan brothers and self-immolating Buddhist monks, to the toxic harpy she is so proud of being today. Mom and Sis would approve, by the way...

Anyone remember Rick's Sinatra obit in the Globe? He did it his way, that's fer shure. Actually, the Globe does obits well.

Jerome Martin: "Actually, the Globe does obits well."

Who'd know?

Now remember folks this is the same Jerome Martin, a typical misogynist lefty male, who today on Deb Gyapong's blog told her to "fellate Ezra Levant", real classy Jerome. I suggest counselling Jerome - before it's court ordered

And here for posterity is a screenshot of Jerome Martin's comment http://tinyurl.com/yba5j2r

Hey Dr. Jerome, I've been off Prednisone for something like 15 years, but thanks for sharing your brilliant medical opinion.

I've never claimed to be beautiful, but you seem to be claiming to be a doctor. Can you upload a jpg of your med school degree in your next comment? Thanks!

Actually, Kathy, it's just a local community college certificate in gynecology. Does that count?

Blazing Cat Farts: Punctuation goes _inside_ quotation marks.

This is so easy...conservatives never fail to rise to a bit of teasing.

Kathy - you're beautiful in your way, I guess. I guess.

Wow I'm devastated.

No, you're Mr. Shaidle.

Keep digging, Jerome - the beautiful thing about liberals is how, lacking shame, they keep going past the point of self-parody.

And yeah - I worked for the Globe, Jerome. So?

So nothing Rick. It's just that the obit on Sinatra could have used some nipping and tucking. "Looking back..." is a lousy lede. Of course you're looking back. It's an obit, fer chrissakes.

And you are a member of the Fourth Estate, not the Fifth. The fifth estate is a show on the commie CBC.

This has been fun, folks. It never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to get a rise out of today's Hitlerjungen.

Jerome is sufficiently self aware to realize he has no possibility of victory on any front so in typical lefty fashion he invents one out of whole cloth then flounces off into the sunset. Bye Bye.

Jerome Martin (who may or may not have flounced off) @1:24 - "Blazing Cat Farts: Punctuation goes _inside_quotation marks."

Okay, I do ludicrously petty. Do you mean it should have gone like this (words I shall never type again): "fellate Ezra Levant," - even though the comma was not part of the quotation?

Misogynist Idjit.

And in typical hard-right fashion, Blazing Cat Farts assumes a limp-wristed and snooty, "I-win-no-matter-what-you-say" stance unseen since, well, grade six and that kid who was lousy at sports, but never knew it. I hadn't realized, Herr Shaidle, that we were in some kind of deep, Hegelian dialogue here. I like your language, though: "Front," and "victory." Onward to Upper Silesia, Gauleiters!

Based on your evident obsession with Nazism and the Hitler Youth Jerome I suspect you would have fit quite well in Ernst Rohm's closet.

Wow. Holy shit tiresome. You must be a trial to live with. Even worse if you're not 22, which is how you sound.

Thanks Rick. And thanks for your own contributions. I mean, where would society be without articles in the Post on how many places in Toronto you can buy coffee, or where the best steaks are? Pat yourself on the back.

This has been sorta fun, folks. What a way to waste a day.

I am flouncing.

Pity he didn't stay, the thought of him hanging about schoolyards is troubling.

Perfect! Thanks to KS.

"[Mark] Steyn may possess more depth and range than Limbaugh or Coulter, but he shares much in common with them. To wit: a shrill, mocking tone of moral certainty that consigns those who disagree with him to the status of appeasers or even terrorists; and a willingness to distort, misrepresent, and omit facts in order to advance his argument."
