      1. Really wish I could send this pic:

        An air hand drier with this written in black marker on top: “Push button for short speech by PM Trudeau”.

        Brought to you by the Mayor of Whistler.

      1. His poor addled brain needs a bit of mountain air. With the way his cabal are pushing the carbon button on the rest of us, making us pay big bucks to on everything we need to survive, he himself sure spews a lot to fly his arse around the globe and in most cases for no good reason. India must be still in shock/laughing/or insulted over his playing Mr Dress Up with the wife and kiddies in tow.

    5. A little quid pro quo. Whistler mare Compton attacks Alberta’s oil industry and he gets a high profile skier (bongo).

      The PMO would very much appreciate what the mare did for the cause. It is BC afterall.

      BC should be added to the boycott list along with the quebek traitors.

      1. I hope you’re not including NE B. C. That region has more in common with Edmonton than it does with Hongcouver. I travel there frequently while I’m settling my father’s estate. I’ve yet to meet anyone in that area who supports Prinz Dummkopf.

        About 50 years ago, there was some discussion of separating from B. C. and joining Alberta, though it didn’t go anywhere.

  6. Toronto celebrated its diversity last night, when a group of blacks entered a mall and smashed up a jewellery shop. After loading up with their loot they took off in front of shocked shoppers. One shopper tackled and held one of the robbers until police arrived. The shopper will probably be charged instead of the robber. This is in addition to the standard shooting, stabbings, and sexual assaults on the weekend. Diversity is our strength! -Justin Trudeau

  8. BREAKING NEWS!!! Elizabeth Warren has set up an exploratory committee in Washington, D.C, to start her presidential run. No information as to whether or not the committee will be funded to pay off establishment journalists, to prevent them from writing about her claimed Indian heritage. Betting that her Indian heritage will not be discussed during her nomination run. Definately not to be discussed.

    1. She’ll change the narrative. Playing Springsteen’s Born in the USA in the background, Liz will say she was born in Oklahoma City so that makes her a native American.

      Born Elizabeth Ann Herring, she’ll use that last name to say she can relate to those who hunt and fish for a living.

      1. Playing Springsteen’s Born in the USA in the background

        She’s a unemployed Viet Nam vet? That’s actually what that song is about.

  9. Using the muppets to spoof a character is as old as the dinosaur shit at the bottom or the Gulf of Mexico … that is creative?

    Something that we’ve seen many … many times before using old muppet people .. from a 50 year old lefitist child brainwash TV show is simply no longer funny, let alone hilarious.

    Further, I don’t think they should making fun of a very serious and important man such as Jordan Peterson..

    Just sayin’

    1. Jordan Peterson on Colbert as the voice of Kermit:

      Clean Up Your Room Lecture as Kermit in A Muppet Movie:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PESYQ6TGwhQ

      I know I have seen videos of his lectures where he pulls out a Kermit puppet and continues the lecture using the muppet. Can’t find the video as it is buried, but here are some images:
      https://duckduckgo.com/?q=jordan+peterson+kermit+in+lecture&atb=v101-1_f&iax=images&ia=images

      Lets stop with the hero worship, he is not perfect, and in some ways very troubling, like most humans. Set him up as a messiah and you will be disappointed and all his good works will be lost in the backlash from the inevitable human failings. Besides, we aren’t leftists, we understand humour.

      1. “Besides, we aren’t leftists, we understand humour”
        …and that Muppets clip is just a slight modification of the original ‘phenomena bit’ only this time Peterson’s voice is used.

    1. “80 percent of the homeless suffer from drug and alcohol addiction and 30 percent suffer from serious mental illness, including bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.”

      If you subsidize it $100,000 per person annually, they will come and the problem will grow. Who could have foreseen that?

  16. Natural justice is the worst approach to liberty and prosperity, except for everything else of course. How is that boring?

    “The psychology of the anti-market left can be a puzzle, but even more confounding is the mentality of the anti-market right. There are agrarians, medievalists, and nationalists, and, above all, the neoconservatives, who dread the market as much as any socialist from days of yore. Their critique differs, but all complain about the strictures that economics places on the policy imagination. In fact, that is one of the merits of economics.”

    Back then, the libertarians rallied around liberty and property. They might have countenanced a military buildup as a temporary measure, but they saw peace as the goal and the foundation of civilization. Buckley, in contrast, advocated the creation of an imperial foreign policy and saw war as a defensible policy goal—a vision obviously incompatible with a market order he otherwise claimed to support.”

    And yet there is a certain valid point they are making here about how economics diminishes the role of would-be philosopher kings, just as gravity reduces the ability of magicians to make things float. Economics is part of the ungoverned structure of reality that even the smartest people cannot change. Economics hems in the state even as it illuminates the nearly unlimited possibilities for the use of the creative imagination within a framework of property protection and free exchange.”

    In short, economics is no more or less boring than life itself. The minimum requirement for anyone who aspires to be a social-science intellectual is that he or she find society itself fascinating. The next hope is that the person desires to see society thrive in peace and prosperity. If the neoconservatives sincerely desire this, they must reject war and militarism, which only crush what markets create. They must reject the sorcerers of violence and destruction in favor of the philosophers of peace and freedom.”

  17. Timbuktu

    The National Poetry Contest had come down to two semifinalists: a Yale graduate and inshore fisherman from Newfoundland. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word and come up with a poem that contained the word. The word they were given was “Timbuktu”.

    First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:

    Slowly across the desert sand
    Trekked a lonely caravan.
    Men on camels, two by two
    Destination—Timbuktu.

    The crowd went crazy! No way could the Newf top that, they thought. The Newfie calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:

    Me and Tim a-huntin went,
    Met tree hores in a pop up tent.
    dey was tree, and we was two,
    So I bucked one, and Timbuktu.

    The Newfie won hands down!

    This song is from 1977- the actresses are from a by-gone era, maybe the 40s. Yes, this is “the” Alice Cooper … the photo of him at the end without war paint shows that he’s a handsome dude. What a gig, apparently he’s an avid golfer and probably is unrecognizable on the links! Check out the pix if the Hindenberg, there’s some really old photos here.

    A nostalgic song …goes back and way back.

        Your Todd Rundgren song choices are the real McCoy. They were nice songs then and still seem current, if one didn’t know any better.

        My pick was just a cover of another group.

        You were correct when you recently said that the kids’ music of today is worthless. ‘Music’, if you could call it that.

        May you have a good New Year Dr. B A.
