Posted by: Brad at April 2, 2008 9:30 AMJudging by the Homer Simpsonian-ness of his stomach, Big City Liberace must have eaten all the banquet burgers. I hope he belched on ridiculous Dipper Peggy Nash.
Posted by: Mississauga Matt at April 2, 2008 9:33 AMThat is scarey. The progressive bunch just look like the rest of us run-of-the mill Canadians. I expected them to have horns and tails. To think they walk amongst us, and we wouldn't even know.
Posted by: Honey Pot at April 2, 2008 9:34 AMThose are big names on the Leftosphere? Never heard of any of them except BigCityLib, and he's famous for trolling at SDA. Pugnacious appearance, but big gut. My gut's bigger than your's, Lib! Bwahahaaaa!
Looks like an accountant's picnic. Pictures of what they drove up in would be much more informative.
I'm inspired to post a picture of the Phantom Mobile. Dodge Ram 1500, 4x4, 318 as a nod to fuel "economy". You get 11 MPG city instead of 9mpg with the 360 Hemi. Solid front axle of course, none of this wussy independent front suspension business. That's for cars and off-road racing.
Buckets of Grewal guy appears to think it prudent to hide his face. Wonder what he's been doing.

Kate Holloway is an ex-employee of the Discovery Channel (NetStar Communications). Later, she was a Green Party candidate but had a falling out with the party. She has a son. I am unaware of her current social status.

Posted by: bob at April 2, 2008 10:01 AMThey could all benefit from one month of training with me. That is, if their little leftard minds could handle it.
Stretching
4 mile run
circuit training with weights
1 mile run
warm down
What do you think kids, could the fat ass moonbats handle it?
Posted by: kingstonlad at April 2, 2008 10:07 AMCould any of you handle it? I am 48, by the way, and perform that workout 3 times a week.
Posted by: kingstonlad at April 2, 2008 10:19 AMIf you'd cut down the running a bit, I'd be with you, kingstondude.
Posted by: rick mcginnis at April 2, 2008 10:25 AMI have to substitute the elliptical machine or mountain biking for the run (broke my knees a few years ago - I can hike, bike and use the elliptical machine but running is too hard on the joints) but other than that, I'm in.
Although I prefer working on a several-day routine where you work muscle groups rather than circuit training.
It's almost mountain biking season! I can't wait.
Posted by: Warwick at April 2, 2008 10:27 AMI'd say their looks match their intelligence.
Cherniak wouldn't need a spot of make-up to play any kind of gnome/hobbit.
Big City Libs' venom is now more understandable.
And it appears global warmists will find more than a couple of quarter pounders in that group.
It takes a progressive to feed a village.
Posted by: bud at April 2, 2008 10:47 AMRunning, the fountain of youth.
Every military on this planet use it as the primary source of training for a reason.
The human body is programmed for it, and responds quicker than to any other form of exercise.
Posted by: kingstonlad at April 2, 2008 10:48 AMkingstonlad,
Try running with broken knees and I bet your enthusiasm would wain quickly.
Posted by: Warwick at April 2, 2008 10:53 AMIt is not very kind to make fun of their pot bellies, and man tits, but I bet Ted Turner and the rest of the rich glowtards are licking thier chops picturing them on their dinner plate.
Posted by: Honey Pot at April 2, 2008 11:00 AM..try running with a set of 38 c's.
Posted by: Honey Pot at April 2, 2008 11:02 AMI don't know, beyond an intelligence and talent handicap, seems leftards got the short end of the stick in physical appearance as well.
The next victim group?
It could've been worse. They could have appeared naked on an iceberg.
Posted by: irwin daisy at April 2, 2008 11:14 AMIrwin,

Posted by: Soccermom at April 2, 2008 11:45 AM"Could any of you handle it? I am 48, by the way, and perform that workout 3 times a week"
Twelve k, three times a week. Weight training on the other days. Bike in the summer, once a week, usually fifty K.
I have a body fat rating of about 15 percent, I've been lower but then I sneeze a lot.
And, sadly, I'm older than you.
Granola munchers??? A person would have to eat four or five bales a hay a day, to accumulate that girth.

Posted by: Honey Pot at April 2, 2008 11:50 AMsorry about that, don't know how that happened
Posted by: Honey Pot at April 2, 2008 11:53 AMYeah, how did they keep the granola from falling through the grill?
I'm glad to know that if I ever switched political allegiances and started blogging, I'd actually be considered quite dashing.
By the way, I'm going to refrain from any more insults. Let he who is without sin wear spandex, or something.
Honey Pot; I've run with a pair of 38s once. Darned near broke the telephone pole that I ran into ;-) And as a matter of fact she did have a nice personality too.
Yukon Goldie; Thanks for the mental imagery. I didn't need lunch today anyway.
I am surprised that the progressives haven't responded to everyone poking fun at their group picture. Could it be that it is a universal phenomina that people make humourous remarks about almost any group, family reunion, class photo that is done? The exception being the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model's Alumni shoot.
btw, is it Friday yet?
Posted by: Texas Canuck at April 2, 2008 12:10 PMhahahahaaha, you are so righ Yukon
...and we have to be careful, we don't need the progressives hauling us before an HRC star chamber, for making fun of their man tits, and thick thighs.
Posted by: Honey Pot at April 2, 2008 12:11 PMI have never run with 38'c,but I have run after them.

Posted by: Blazingcatfur at April 2, 2008 1:10 PMThe last thing those SAPS need is physical training. Mental training yes, the ability to discern right from wrong, good vs. evil, civility vs. liberal/socialism. Now there is a challenge!!
Naw, won't work! I'm sure they abide by the adage: "Don't try and confuse me with facts - I already have my mind made up!"
Posted by: CRB at April 2, 2008 1:30 PMGood to see that some of us try to stay in shape.
As for the knees, I was told, after an accident, in 1988, that I would be on a cane for the rest of my life. Mind over matter, kids.
And for the 38c's. Reebok makes a great sport's bra(I know, all of my daughters are stacked, and they all run with me at times).
Posted by: kingstonlad at April 2, 2008 1:45 PMMind over matter only goes so far. And I've taken it from an inability to walk to mountain biking and climbing mountains (granted, small non-technical climbs.)
I plan on continuing my activities so I don't plan on making my knees worse. I've got a lot of years left and I need my knees to enjoy them.
Posted by: Warwick at April 2, 2008 2:02 PMSorry for making excuses, but I've just started going back to the gym, and my cardio is fucked.
Posted by: rick mcginnis at April 2, 2008 2:39 PMHey, Kate, you're not a dweeb, Darcey's not a dweeb...who, here, is a dweeb?
Posted by: batb at April 2, 2008 3:33 PMHey Warwick, no need to save the knees, you can always get them replaced by our great medical system. That is of course that you live long enough to get to the front of the line.
Posted by: Texas Canuck at April 2, 2008 4:00 PMI think this might say less about bloggers as a whole, and more about bloggers who take it one step further and attend blogging get-togethers.
As for cool factor on a left vs right scale, let's not pretend that Stephen Harper has charisma or is in any sense "cool". The guy is as stale, dry, and boring as they come. Stephan Dion is less stale, but definitely outshines all other politicians in the ridiculous factor. It's almost hard to quantify his lack of charisma. Layton is a bit better, but in his case its over the top bleeding heartness.
If we look to America, left leaders definitely do better than those on the right for cool factor. Obama, love him or hate him, I haven't seen a politician in my life time that can fill stadiums of people over and over again. Bill Clinton also does a lot better on the cool scale.
The right's saving grace is Reagan, and to a lesser extent McCain who both had/have a decent amount of cool appeal.
Bush (W), does well with his folksy base, but otherwise he's America's Stephan Dion in terms of charisma and public speaking ability.
Posted by: steve at April 2, 2008 4:13 PMOf course, I'd like to think we all stopped worrying too much about "cool" when we graduated from high school, but I know I'm wrong...
Posted by: rick mcginnis at April 2, 2008 4:28 PMIt seems steve can't think for himself. He lets the media do it for him.
Harper has an incredibly dry wit. And he's fast. Watch him toy with the Liberals and dippers in the house. He's cracked me up on several occassions.
Heard a story about one time when Stronach's name was brought up in a meeting. He looked up without cracking a smile and said, "Belinda...the only person who calls out her own name when having sex." Then without missing a beat he went back to the document he was reading.
Posted by: irwin daisy at April 2, 2008 4:36 PMTex,
I'll keep my own knees thanks. I'd rather not end up with some fatal infection from unsanitary soviet-style hospitals getting them replaced.
Besides, the replacements are fragile and wear out. They can be replaced twice but only if you're lucky. With a 15 year life for lazy people (which means more like 8 years if you actually use them) that isn't enough.
I'm holding off until I can get them repaired using a yet-undiscovered method of re-growing cartlidge. Of course, I'll have to go to the US to have it done becauce there will be a 40 year waiting list by then if the current trend continues...
Posted by: Warwick at April 2, 2008 4:38 PMbabt at 3:30 asks: "Hey, Kate, you're not a dweeb, Darcey's not a dweeb...who, here, is a dweeb?"
John Daly, Johnny Ringo, BigCityLib (and now we have pictures to prove it!) and Steve.
Rick McGuinnis, the difference between high school cool and cool at 50 is mostly the ride. When you're 50 you've had time to save up for the car you want.
Which is why I really wonder about these old coots I see putting around in those friggin' Smart Cars. How uber-uncool are those things?
Posted by: The Phantom at April 2, 2008 4:57 PM"Bill Clinton also does a lot better on the cool scale."
I suppose he still does, even now, with a lot of people. I think he's morphed into a painfully dried out W.C.Fields, but without the wit.

Posted by: The Phantom at April 2, 2008 5:00 PMHuh. Looks pretty much like a bunch of average folks, like I know and see all the time.
Hard to believe these are the kind of folks who could drive me nuts. But they do. Oh, my moonbat friends in the pic, don't worry. My family's leftist, too. So's my workplace. They all drive me nuts and vice versa, but we still get along fine, aside from the occassional disagreement, of course! Too bad we can only talk about mundane and silly stuff, rather than have rational, logical, realistic discussions about substantial, important matters, eh?
I'll refrain from making fun of the booby moonbat dudes in the pic, as I've had moobs myself until I replaced them with pecs (hint, hint)... so, able to empathize with their plight, I won't say anything mean. Just this once! ;)
Oh, dang... I see Brad, the first commentor, saw the readhead in the bottom right first... oh, well, I can still talk to the chick with the dog... hard to resist talking to chicks with cute little dogs...

Posted by: jwkozak91 at April 2, 2008 5:18 PMRose wipes a tear from her eye, wow that's quite the non-diverse group. I thought liberals were progressive and embraced "Diversity", wow they sure don't practice what they preach do they.
Sniff narry a brown person amongst them at least Kate has me I'm only half white.
Posted by: Rose at April 2, 2008 5:21 PMI won't claim that Harper is bucket of laughs, and the guy could stand to lose a few pounds, but is is smart and witty, and really quite nice in person. I don't want my politicians to charm my socks off - I just need them to be smart and reasonably honest (but not as honest as poor old John Turner or Joe Clark). Harper is smart guy and can convince by reason. He's also a serious guy, which Dion will never be.
Posted by: holdfast at April 2, 2008 5:44 PMI read all 54 comments above,
