Mounties use tasers to sexually assault an aboriginal child. And get away with it.
Predictably, the article doesn’t call it sexual assault. But what does this sound like to you?

The girl, who was 16 at the time of the incident, said she was held down by four officers, one for each limb, while a taser was […]

Folks, the internet has been won.
Background: Something Awful commentators react to recently-released footage of then 16-year-old Omar Khadr being cruelly interrogated by Canadian officials at Guantanamo. Their reactions range from sympathetic to death threats—these soft children of privilege who never leave the comfort of their parents’ basement, let alone face unending hell in an illegal […]

Happy Fourth of July! I’ll be on the National Mall in DC watchin’ the fireworks against the glorious backdrop of the Washington Phallus. Don’t even pretend like you’re not jealous.
“Dick is a Killer” by DJ RX. Gotta love it.

Metallica’s first video ever!
I post this in recognition of the 900-plus soldiers who have had to have at least one major amputation in the last five years as a direct result of serving in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.

Yet another set of relics from the post-satire age:

As the keychain says, truly “It don’t GITMO better than this.”
Welcome to “Taliban Towers” at Guantanamo Bay, the most ghoulishly distasteful tourist destination on the planet. As these astonishing mementoes show, the US authorities are promoting the world’s most notorious prison camp as a cheap hideaway for […]

And, well, I guess the cynics would probably be right. But appearances of speaking truth to […]

In honor of the newest PUNKASSBLOGGER, Quin! Who sent me this link. It is from Iraq’s only heavy metal band, and for that reason alone I wanna promote it. Also, it ain’t too bad in of itself. Enjoy!

Note: Requests and suggestions for the Friday War Protest Video are always welcome! […]

Combining the old with the new…Faith No More’s even-better-than-the-original live cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.”

Takin’ a break from the tunes with some classic Jon Stewart.


I admit to being slightly obsessed with Omar Khadr’s story. Many of us here in Soviet Canuckistan, the one major U.S. ally unwilling to say a peep about America’s human rights violations in Guantanamo Bay, are slightly obsessed with Omar Khadr’s story. I’m not sure if the Khadr family—”Canada’s First Family of Terrorism”—gets as much […]
