Owing to the wonders of P2P leakage, I, like many of you, saw Michael Moore’s Sicko. Like most popular political documentaries (and recent Moore documentaries in particular), it doesn’t contain a lot of new information for anyone already participating in the reality-based community. In my case (as is the case for almost all Canadians), […]

See soldier fight.
See soldier kidnapped.
See soldier’s wife denied a hardship green card and possibly deported.
“I can’t imagine a bigger injustice than that, to be deporting [the wife of] someone who is fighting and possibly dying for our country,” [attorney Matthew] Kolken told WBZ.
I guess they figure either Army Spec. Alex Jimenez is dead and […]

You said it couldn’t be done. You said he’d never make it happen, that Iraq would never make it to the top. And, yeah, it’s not there yet, but boy is it close:
Iraq has emerged as the world’s second most unstable country, behind Sudan, more than four years after President George W. Bush […]

Let’s say you’re a terrorist. You want to plan a terrorist attack on a civilian airline. It’s going to be bigger, better, and way more deadly than September 11th. And to top it off, you’re going to hit Canada.
With your terrorist cell assembled in a dark basement, you rub your hands together, cackle wickedly, twirl […]

Really, truly, I have no idea how someone could live with themselves after making a decision like this:
Tony Blair agreed to commit British troops to battle in Iraq in the full knowledge that Washington had failed to make adequate preparations for the postwar reconstruction of the country.
How do you send your own people into what […]

Rainbow Girl makes her debut in comic activism with

RAINBOW
GIRL
stars in SEXY WAR!

34 pages of feminism drawn in the same style (and lets face it, we all did it) of all your greatest college in-group comics. Team Rainbow, consisting of Rainbow Girl, her Rainbow Guy and a cast of zany friends, have to figure out […]

Yeah, it should really say “in mouth disease,” but they both make tiggers sad.
Nowadays, politicians can get away with making many kinds of offensive conservative statements; they don’t even have to dress them up. So for the love of God, if even in this climate of hate and fear you still feel the need […]

What is this?

I don’t know about you, but it took me several long minutes of staring at this to realize it was supposed to be a penguin. A Gentoo Penguin, actually, from the movie’s official site. Which is, you’ll note, a rather plump, pear-shaped bird.
But we all know that we can’t have plump, pear-shaped […]

I recently read Max Elbaum’s Revolution in the Air, which is an incredibly detailed account of the post-1968 new Communist movement in the U.S. It’s a rich and fascinating book, worth reading even if you don’t identify as a Communist; it’s a key piece of history that tends to be left out in discussions of […]

Ethel says women’s traditional role as family accountant/killjoy prevents her from spending $1000 on a camera more suitable for a photography major, especially if it’s just going to piss her off, which is why she’s not getting an SLR until you invite her to a focus group

Others already
jumped all over (and rightfully so!) this New […]

We’ve all seen it, but it’s still funny.

As true as that caption is, it hasn’t stopped the national media from obsessing over every couple lucky(?) enough to have 5 or more babies at once. The latest birth-a-thon occurred in Phoenix, where sextuplets were born to Jenny and Bryan Masche:
As doctors in a Phoenix hospital […]
