Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Photos of people lined up for corn flour, the basic ingredient for "arepa" in Venezuela. Arepa is like a bun made flattened and stuffed with cheese or ham... I believe the Harina brand of this is now made in Colombia, and for a decade now been available here in Canada at Real Canadian Superstore, in the ethnic aisle.

Maduro, the President (by cheating) of Venezuela is currently in Uruguay negotiating food sales. It won't be enough, it never is.
Don't mean to pull rank but that's a Muddy Waters lick and a Muddy Waters song. Paige stole the arrangement off of the Small Faces. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_pYjcoXG5c
Other than that it's a great video.
Ok I might be a tad confused.
It's still a Muddy Waters lick though.
David Burge of Iowahawk Twittered @Stephen Hawking:
Love this one:
Jimmy Page stole a lot of stuff with no attribution whatsoever, FKA Gord.
Amazingly, Jake Holmes - who had been an opening act for one of Page's bands in the pre-Zeppelin days, before Whole Lotta Love was "written" -- actually *lost* his plagiarism lawsuit against Page/Zep, due to some sort of legal technicality, if I remember correctly.
Interesting survey on college students and government. There's hope yet.

Obama can't even stop real guns in the wrong hands and now you can simply print them. 100,000 people have already downloaded the plans and now they want to take the plans off the net. As always, a little too late.

Socially Unacceptable Humor:
I was in bed with a blind girl last night and she said that I had the biggest penis she had ever laid her hands on. I said "You're pulling my leg".
Went for my routine checkup today and everything seemed to be going fine until he stuck his index finger up my butt! Do you think I should change dentists?
A wife says to her husband you're always pushing me around and talking behind my back. He says "What do you expect? You're in a wheel chair!"
Socially Unacceptable Humor: (continued)
Little Willy: Mommy, mommy, why do I keep running around in circles?
Mommy: Shaddup or I will nail your other foot to the floor.
Iowahawk has been winning twitter this last lately. No real surprise there. Meghan McCain, whose daddy if you recall once pretended to run for President, has been having a little hissy fit about South Carolina's Mark Sanford because he cheated on his wife but is, like, totally against gay "marriage", which is sooooo not cool, OMG, you guys!!!
Example: Meghan McCain @MeghanMcCain22h
Really republicans? We're gonna get behind Mark Sanford and claim gay couples will ruin marriage. This is why young people don't vote GOP!!!
(I think she's got a TV show or something. Gah.)
David Burge @iowahawkblog21h
@MeghanMcCain if it wasn't for politicians cheating on their wives, you wouldn't exist.

Socially unacceptable humour part IIÌ:
A guy walks into a doctor`s office where he notices the receptionist, a gorgeous young blonde in a leather skirt.
He walks into the Doctor's examination room, the patient's heartbeat is at 95, his blood pressure is up and he is sweating profusely. The doc asks the patient if something is bothering him.
"Yeah, it`s that blond receptionist out there. Damn, that leather skirt got me going."
"Leather turns you on does it?" asked the Doc.
The patient looks at the doc and says, "Yeah, it reminds me of a new truck."
Ok, one, er, two more:
There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in our shopping center, but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some of the new bomber jackets.
Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche and mentioned it on Facebook. I said, "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!" Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend!!

"The dismantling of Germany's nuclear power plants will be one of the greatest tasks of the century as the country moves to phase out atomic energy. It will take at least until 2080 to complete the job. But what happens if energy utility companies who own the facilities go bust before the work is done?"

"Spain is officially insolvent: get your money out while you still can"
"I'd not noticed this until someone drew my attention to it, but the latest IMF Fiscal Monitor, published last month, comes about as close to declaring Spain insolvent as you are ever likely to see in official analysis of this sort. Of course, it doesn't actually say this outright. The IMF is far too diplomatic for such language. But that's the plain meaning of its latest forecasts, which at last have an air of realism about them, rather than being the usual dose of wishful thinking.
Let's take the projected budget deficit first." (telegraph)

Of Indulgences:
"Thus the Penitential of Egbert, Archbishop of York, declares (XIII, 11): "For him who can comply with what the penitential prescribes, well and good; for him who cannot, we give counsel of God's mercy. Instead of one day on bread and water let him sing fifty psalms on his knees or seventy psalms without genuflecting .... But if he does not know the psalms and cannot fast, let him, instead of one year on bread and water, give twenty-six solidi in alms, fast till None on one day of each week and till Vespers on another, and in the three Lents bestow in alms half of what he receives.""
