Sarcasm is Important

1. “Seek financial revival through interpretive dance”.

   Or as we like to call it in Sudbury, Ontario – stripping.

   And there is coding. Coding by day, stripping by night. A man’s gotta eat, Julien.

   1. In Sudbury we also say “Fight, f*uck, drive a truck”. So there has to be money in one of those three.

2. More bread and circuses?

   1. More circuses, less bread.

3. Let me guess … The Mayor’s wife received $750k in “salary” to manage this multi-culti dance off?

4. Learn to Jazz Hand!

   1. Why did you replace the I with an A? After all, if it’s good enough for Jack Layton at 2AM, it must be an honourable way to earn a living. Mustn’t it?

5. Many years ago, while I was teaching at Armpit College, I was required to take an “alternate learning styles” course. The “facilitator”, who, apparently never taught nor had an education background, came up with all sorts of loopy ideas on how to make course material “meaningful”, blah blah blah.

   I finally spoke up and asked him how his cockamamie horse pucky could be used to teach a mechanical design course. His solution was for me to do an interpretive dance.

   I tuned out for the remainder of the course after that.

6. They can all get jobs as solar panel makers or wind turbine technicians, just ask John Kerry. Not one is “shovel ready.”
   Three problems. One, those jobs are in China, who takes our coal, and jobs, and sells us wind turbines and solar panels.
   Secondly, not one of those jobs are supported by private sector investment. Not one kilowatt hour of output without subsidy.

   Plus they cannot stand alone as energy production, their hardware is not “renewable,” and they use rare earth metals mined in China under the most adverse working conditions on earth, doubling their output to an intermittent 3% for $trillions of tax dollars.

   Climate change is just another term for exerting political power with plutocrats pretending they can pick winners and losers.
   The reality is while government is terrible at picking winners, but losers are really good at picking government.

7. All these flaky modern dance types are convinced they play a vital roll in society.
   Then you get the usual tripe about how fascists hate the arts if you are less than enthusiastic about what they do. Man, I’ve heard that one a lot.
   I don’t hate their dancey crap because I’m an art hater – I hate it because I’m an art lover.

   1. Interpretive dancers are the most important. Remember this incident with Sun News?

8. My favourite comment was “A meeting was had, a discussion was held, and the result was this shit.”
