Best Canadian Blog
2004 - 2007
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."

This artist is a genius. He/She captured the essence of the American government. This should be in the Smithsonian.
Feh.
Forgot the sharp metal blades, the dead mechanical hands that grasp out and pull you into the gears, and the random explosions.
Nice try though.
Need a hot air blower and a device that wraps you up in red tape.
Dat Beyonce an her purse, chillin to de lef ?
That could stand for just about any modern bureaucracy anywhere these days!
Of course, if you were to use this to describe the Obama Admin, in the interest of accuracy, it would have to be detached from the trailer hitch.
Driving the contraption with a hit and miss engine was absolutely brilliant! Lots of sputtering, smoke and clatter while totally dependent upon inertia. Rube Goldberg would be impressed.
Following clip is an example of how these engines operate:

Wait, are you saying that all those moving parts don’t actually produce anything?
This looks like the start of an awesome Captain Capitalism rant.
That is an early version of a sexbot.
Excellent!
Like the government,it makes an impressive racket, but accomplishes sweet f*** all.
Seems far too smooth (and clever) for anything to do with government.
I think the real lesson here is there are so many moving parts and yet it doesn’t move.
The best thing about that setup is the hit and miss engine.
Its missing the secret door where the brown bags fulla money are handed out to Friends. Also the wood chipper part where human beings are fed in and ground up, and of course the boiler fired with dollar bills.
Other than that, not bad.
The opera light on the car is brilliant, landau brougham to the max.
Also hit and miss is too efficient, it needs a 454 running on 5 cylinders with a stuck choke.
Powered by General Motors!
In a year’s time I expect to see that machine about 10 percent larger…with a larger fuel tank of course, and maybe an auxiliary engine.
I love it. all that motion achieving absolutely nothing except all that motion.
And it only costs $17 trillion to maintain it!
