  1. During the mid- to late 1980s, I was a U2 fan. Joshua Tree was a terrific album, but the next one, Rattle and Hum, disappointed me.
    I began losing interest in the band after that. I wrote it off completely when it began taking itself seriously and became a group of political activists instead of remaining as musicians.
    That’s unfortunate as it was one of the better groups from the New Wave era.

  3. The statue of Halifax’s controversial founder was temporarily shrouded instead of toppled Saturday during a Mi’kmaq ceremony and protest that included the mayor, Mi’kmaq leaders and organizers of the Facebook group “Removing Cornwallis.”

    I know, I know, The Grope and Flail
    How about a statue to the Beothunks, the aboriginal tribe in Newfoundland that the saintly Mi’kmaq obliterated.

  4. A gem from my undergrad days, something that I would have heard on the radio or in one of the pizza parlours I used to haunt back then.

  8. Oh well each to there own Sask, mind don’t think any self respecting teen or male over here would have been listening to that and probably way to old for those that originally did to admit.
    Concur with Deplorablable though I didn’t listen to that sort of pop at the time would have since of knocked them off the list of who I might listen to when they started the preaching, certainly would have been scrubbed along with the likes of Springstein Moby et al who have since been deleted.
    Anyway music eh, now this is real music to the ears was exactly what I was listening to back then and still now regularly give it long loud blasts. Really puts a grin on the face.

    Mind the outlook and weather just slightly different.

  9. I do wish people would stop using the word ‘cyberpunk’ to mean things it doesn’t mean.

  11. PET POT Cemetery Report.
    Liberal Justine say, Vote Micmac for plenty wampum and Beothuk Indian genocide.

    “National Post View: As Trudeau’s symbolic gestures flop, Aboriginals continue to suffer
    There are dozens of reports containing hundreds of recommendations gathering dust on shelves, while the MMIW inquiry haplessly spins its wheels and descends into bickering”

  12. Hey Creep – British people invented freedom. I love Canadians sharing the history of the British Empire. The Micmacs still exist because of rights granted by the British. Cornwallis sure had some nerve killing Indians that were trying to kill him. Meanwhile the Micmacs, allied to the French, killed all the Beothuks.

  15. Thank you and well said. It appears that Creepy has drunk too much Marxist koolaid.

  16. I’m no monarchist but I’m ok with common law and the Magna Carta. A coupla things that came out of the British system.

  18. I see the Chinese have developed some kinda super muscle dog. Twice as tough and twice as fast. Saw it on Drudge.
    Sounds like a Nazi move. Next is the super human…..

  21. Cornwallis is a villain to the Americas? So what?
    I guess the peasants were paying taxes to the king back in 1215. Land barons led a tax revolt that ended up to the signing of the Magna Carta. Was it peasants that drafted it? It is one of the defining moments in the history of liberty. Yes the French helped move it along but no one nation owns the rights.

  22. I agree with your statement that western Canadians who value liberty, if they can get their head past the quebek traitors have a lot in common with the separatists and libertarian Americans.

  24. Bongo’ trip to Calgary was as tightly scripted as a visit from an American president. Nobody but the most trusted librano insiders had a clue where he was going to appear.
    So it was a photo op with a Syrian baby named justin trudeau….a visit to the Indian village and a well hidden spot in the stands to watch the rodeo. Every thing was tightly scripted – nothing was left to chance.
    The coward should have shown his face in the barns. He’d have felt the love.

  25. Thanks for your reply. My comment got caught up in the blog administrator’s sieve so I wasn’t able to explain. I asked to have it removed, however my plea was ignored. I was actually in my early 30’s when the Bay City Rollers were formed. I loved the 60’s beat they had. I believe they disbanded in the early 80’s. They did have a few reunions later on, I believe.

  27. British serfs, at the time of the Magna Carta, had to give the Lord of the manor a third of everything they produced. Today, we consider them to have been, essentially, slaves. Here today in Ontario, the government takes well over half of everything we produce. What does that make us?

  28. here here.
    also, regarding brit efforts to end slavery, ummmm, THEY were at the FORFRONT of the establishment of the
    ahfricah-to-the-colonies trade. the former does NOT cancel the latter.
    also, royalty is a g**amn SCAM.
    we are descendants of either a monkey or Adam & his missus. neither of which were ‘royals’, so HOW does one get to be a ‘blue blood’ when ones parents, grandparents, great-etc-grandparents must all also be ‘blue bloods’.
    royalty is the BIGGEST con ever on the face of the planet for thousands of years.
    p.s. regarding the trillion dollar scams, you’ve been doing your homework. keep getting the message out.
