    1. Kate / Nigel – That is a cool and unique version. I love the harmonica on Levee. The link next to it, by Zeparella, nails the cover to the point you think they are an air band, including the harmonica parts. 16 M views suggest that other Zep fans agree. And no close ups of Obama as was the case with a certain other video a few years ago.

    2. I know you’re a smart guy, Kenji, but … What is it lately with so many smart people misspelling “whoa”? I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen “woah” instead of “whoa.” This seems to have suddenly cropped up in the last half year or a bit more (including other instances on SDA). Before that I never saw ” whoa” misspelled. I’m curious about it, and why I’m seeing this so frequently now.

    1. If the vaccine kills more people than the Corvid-19 due to inadequate testing, fast track/sidestepping safety protocols, and/or proves so ineffective for the high risk groups(age and co-morbidity).

      Governments will simply claim to have followed the advice of gov’t. experts and thus have no individual/group responsibility.

      Governments will be, in effect, insuring the private companies, no matter the result. We know who will pay in both the short and long term.

    2. If they can’t stand behind their work or in front of it I sure have no confidence in anything they produce.

    3. the cold is a family of Corona virus’ , not a single item, so a cure is not really an option. So the benefits of it can not justify the cost, also the cold is not a problem if one keeps their immune system up to scratch

  1. Cute Unity 2020 spot.

    Picking the lesser evil, here in Canada that would mean choosing Buger King Justin with a beard and Justin in blackface–which will Toronto pick next election? Up here, WE like to concentrate our evil.

      1. Nope. He never held a real job, so why should he care what his policies do to people who actually do? Gee, doesn’t that sound like a certain prime minister?

  2. To all eastern Canadian liberal voters, I have only one question

    When Harper was PM did he cancel your annual 6 months E.I?
    If not why are you afraid of a conservative government

    1. “6 months?” You mean 10-2-40. Work ten weeks, wait 2 weeks, collect 40 weeks. Do they still do that? Harper made the mistake (to paraphrase) of calling Maritimers lazy and useless and they quit voting for him. He was going easy on them. What he really meant to say was lazy useless underachieving pieces of shit welfare bums. The Maritimes and Quebec would make a great country. They could name it New Zimbabwe.

      1. You say Wexit.

        I say Run Rabbit Run!

        Why you so afwaid of the Fwenchies and the Sociawists ?
        Fight back fellow(?).

        Don’t run.
        Into the arms of Notley, Nenshi, Redford, Clark, Douglas, Ralphie, Lotusland, Redmonton etc,etc,etc.

        Geez, thought 8 years of WESTERN Conservative Harper would have answered all your issues.
        You did call him didn’t you?

        Let me know when you get the (I would think) lengthy list of WESTERN Canadians who have returned all that socialist government money that has been flying out of Ottawa whilst WESTERN Canadian Conservative leader Scheer Lightness minds the store. Such Western leaders sure bode… something for future separation.

        Much like you as a spokesperson.
        Doesn’t work.
        You’re too lightweight.

        As well as being an ignorant, uninformed, judgemental, generalizing poster child for the lowbrow, ugly, angry segment of society.

        1. yolo, the concept of freedom seems to elude many people, particularly eastern Canadians.

      2. Along with the cash they government encouraged a culture of lying to them to soak up tax dollars from people who actually did work for a living.
        The government paid the eastern Canadians to lie to them.
        They built a culture that accepted that lying was normal and good.

      1. The Center of gubmint “workers” from the direct employees, then the Uni, Health, Transit, etc coalition of lifetime indentured toadies that constantly vote Dipper.

        1. Oddly enough, we have the PCs to thank for that. Before Lougheed took office, many oil companies had offices in both Edmonton and Calgary, as did the provincial government.

          After the PCs were elected, that slowly started changing. Under Getty, it was obvious what was going on. Many Edmonton offices of those same oil companies were closed and their staff transferred to Calgary. At the same time, government offices were consolidated in Edmonton.

  3. Blackie’s loyal CBC is excited this morning that all players with the Toronto Raptors took the knee not only during the American national anthem, but during the Canadian national anthem as well. Because as we all know, Canadians are racist bastards as well. And don’t miss the CBC’s all day programming that Canadians are racist bastards.

    1. Toronto Raptors = a bunch of American, low IQ, diverse, overgrown teenagers. Any true Canadian who watches that crap is among TWANLOC

  4. Gropey Joe Biden delays his VP Choice another week until August 10. My bet is he delays it again next week.

    https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2020/08/01/clocks-ticking-joe-biden-will-delay-the-announcement-of-his-running-mate-another-week/

    I still think that Creepy Uncle Joe won’t be the final Democrat Presidential Candidate. They will delay the Biden VP Choice, so that there are not any problems with an African American Woman VP that thinks SHE should be the replacement prezzy candidate. They will delay the decision again and again until just before, or even at the Milwaukee mini-convention, where Dr. Jill Biden will tearfully announce the Joe Biden Withdrawal, and whoever the DNC picked to replace him. —- Kerry, Cuomo, Garcetti, Newsom; just another cis-gendered, white male politician, and then they pander by selecting a black female for VP.

    If Joe does actually pick a VP, then I am completely, thoroughly wrong.

    1. Cool thought that. You might well be right. I mean obviously Biden is not going to President. He’s a placeholder. The only question is how will they present his replacement. I like this one.

    2. “If Joe does actually pick a VP, then I am completely, thoroughly wrong.”

      The only thing Biden is allowed to pick is his nose. His handlers are in charge.

    3. Interesting take.

      I believe that they are delaying to prep the big reveal. If there is a pick it’ll be one of the following three:
      1. Michelle O’bama
      2. Kamala H.
      3. Killary Klynton (outside shot, not enough melanin for the woke).

      If Kamala they’re delaying because they are waiting for the facial swelling from her plastic to lessen.

      Is AOC still too young?

  5. That darn Trump again!

    As the Democrats and their Media kill more Americans:

    “The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a non-partisan and non-profit professional association of physicians founded in 1944. According to the information on its website, AAPS has been dedicated to the highest ethical standards of the Oath of Hippocrates and to preserving the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship and the practice of private medicine. Its motto is: “omnia pro aegroto” means “all for the patient.” The group is reported to have about 5,000 members in 2014.

    According to AAPS, nearly 100 million doses of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) were donated to federal agencies, and yet they have not released virtually any of it to the public.

    Last week the FDA even misled the public by falsely stating that HCQ should not be used to treat COVID-19, when multiple studies show its benefits, and thousands of patients have been successfully treated worldwide. A perfect storm of politics in this presidential election year, along with conflicts of interest at the Defendant federal agencies, has resulted in unjustified obstacles to access to HCQ, an inexpensive medication having a track record of more than 75 years of safety,” AAPS writes in its brief being filed today in federal court.”

  6. If I am making a batch of pumpernickel bread while watching a hockey game, can I knead during the anthem? Black loaves matter!

    I can’t imagine Juthtin T and Billy M sitting around with some buddies, drinking a few pints and telling lies.
    They seem like the types who only work a room.
    Bill wants to gain an advantage. Everything he says and does is planned. Its part of a wealthy upbringing?
    Juthtin wants to be the center. His pathological narcissism rules. Everything he does is planned by others because he’s a fucktard.
    Real men don’t vote for people like that.

    1. Everything Bill says and does might be planned…. like he planned to pay back WE but only paid it when he got caught THREE years later.
      As for Justin, well, he’s sorry, sorry is all he needs to placate the masses. Bill will be fine too, there’s no such thing as corruption among Liberals, they do it all for us.

  8. I couldn’t find a date on this…but check this out.
    See what one of the K. Brothers owns (or owned) at the Beach in Toronto. It’s seemingly not too shabby, only a couple million give or take.

    Could this real estate have been part of a deal from the gov’t money that would’ve alledgedly gone to the K bros Real estate account? A down payment, perhaps?

    It’s a long shot.

    Nah. Just sleuthing and guessing. No proof at all. But, interesting nonetheless. Are the Brothers Real Estate flippers? Who knows?

      1. “I guess those rolled oats must help after all.” *sigh* – another dumb joke rears its ugly head.

        Little Jimmy is sitting down to his breakfast – a bowl of oatmeal. This is back in the ‘Thirties, there wasn’t anything else to eat. Just then Uncle Frank comes down. “Hey Little Jimmy, what’cha eatin’?”
        “Oatmeal, Uncle Frank – it’s good!”
        “Good, is it? – well, let me show ya how to make it just a little bit better!” Uncle Frank pulls a small, well-worn leather pouch out of his shirt pocket, digs-out a pinch of black powder and sprinkles it over little Jimmy’s oatmeal. “There – you try that!”
        So little Jimmy tucks-in, and after a spoonful, he says “Hey Uncle Frank, that’s really good! – what is it?”
        Uncle Frank gives him a knowing wink. “It’s gunpowder.”
        “GUNpowder? Does mom know you’re feedin’ me GUNPOWDER?”
        “Hey settle down, young ‘un – that there is the healthiest stuff you can eat! Jus’ a little pinch o’ gunpowder on yer oatmeal every morning will have you livin’ hale ‘n hearty, until well in yer ‘nineties! Try it – you’ll see!”
        So little Jimmy snuck some gunpowder out of the shed and tried it, because after all, it tasted really good on oatmeal. And you know what? – Uncle Frank was right! Little Jimmy never had so much as a cold, his whole life – lived well and happily, got married, raised a family, and when he died at the ripe old age of 95, he left behind eight kids, thirty-one grandkids, eighty-two great-grandkids and a 35-foot-deep crater where the crematorium used to be.

    1. Brimley showed up in numerous movies, such as The China Syndrome, Tender Mercies, and The Electric Horseman, often playing the same type of character: homespun, sage-like, frequently sympathetic, and even likeable. I don’t recall him being a baddie all that often.

      Quick Dick McDick’s Big Moustache Al reminds me of him.

  9. Pot Meet Kettle.

    From Harvard Kennedy School, Khalil Gibran Muhammad:
    “The idea that Black people kill each other is exceptional or something that can only be fixed by Black people is deeply rooted in the white supremacist past,” Muhammad told ABC News.

    This asshole won’t accept black people using the term “black on black crime” because its whitey’s fault, statistics be damned.

  10. Just curious, is Obama still president. I was watching at the cottage the astronauts getting out of their space capsule, and just before that CNN showed a picture of Obama with astronauts and a welcome home message from him.
