The Coalition: A Success for the Liberals
Jan. 29, 2009N. Lukanovich
Now that Michael Ignatieff has decided to support the budget (how could he not?) Jack Layton is back to hating the Liberals. According to an unnamed source, Layton is building a wax effigy of Ignatieff, with the moral support of Gilles Duceppe. Harper is working on his own in private; even though the budget has passed muster the writing's on the wall. Both effigies will be lit on fire at the call of the next election. No more Dion to mock and kick about the playground, Ignatieff is a clever strategist with a cool head and, worst still, a strong speaker - in both languages.
The leaders of the other parties will mourn the passing of Dion, their hopes dashed that the Liberal Party will sink into the abyss of political history. All those, including some pundits, who prophesied the downfall of the Liberals forgot their own arguments: that Dion was so unpopular he was the cause of the slide.

Rush Limbaugh Fears Collectivism in America
Jan. 23, 2009N. Lukanovich
President Barack Obama's words and actions during the first days on the job should give hope to the most cynical among us. He has signed executive orders and presidential memorandums that overturn poorly thought-out policies enacted by George W. Bush. He has frozen the salaries of his top aides, initiated a new era of openness and transparency by opening government agencies to public scrutiny, and issued new rules for lobbyists to limit their influence.
Obama has also immediately improved brand America to the rest of the world by signing an order to shut down Guantanamo Bay within the year and halt the use of interrogation methods that would be defined as torture, and signed another executive order that prevents the CIA from creating new detention centers on foreign territory and to close down the centers that currently exist.
The inititatives bode well for those who are hoping for the changes that Obama has promised. Even high-level Republicans have spoken out to commend his actions. But there are always those who will whine and complain. continue reading >>

How to Make a Stephen Harper Doll
Jan. 16, 2009N. Lukanovich
There's barrels of fun and amusement in the practice of arts and crafts, and with a project like the Stephen Harper doll, the entertainment (and therapeutic effects) can last as long as he resides, the devil that he is, in the flaming hot bowels of 24 Sussex Drive.
How to begin? You will need a stiff long object to use as your base; I suggest a wooden spoon that knows how to lie like a rug. Once the doll is complete, it will double as a spanking tool for Liberals, NDP, and rebellious Conservatives. Spanking the Bloq is a risky business and only advised for those who can withstand brutal retribution.
Second, ram the end of the wooden spoon through a butternut squash with glee and satisfaction. The yellowish tinge of this vegetable is a perfect fit for the PM who ran away from the House like a lily-livered coward.

Polygamist Winston Blackmore Finally Charged
Jan. 9, 2009N. Lukanovich
There couldn't be a better New Year's gift than the news that Winston Blackmore, rumored to have somewhere between 20 and 27 wives, was at long last arrested and charged with polygamy on January 7th. Long known as the 'Bishop' of Bountiful, the FLDS Christian sect near Creston, British Columbia, Blackmore has being vocal in asserting that the members of Bountiful can do as they wish, based on the 'freedom of conscience and religion' accorded in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (one of the 4 fundamental 'freedoms'). Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Bountiful split into two factions, in 2002, when Warren Jeffs took over the FLDS Church in Utah and expelled Blackmore, who responded by taking 400 of the followers to form an independent sect. Jim Oler, the leader of the official FLDS branch of Bountiful has also been charged with polygamy.

Santa's Incarceration
Thursday Dec 18, 2008 7:45 GMT
Santa Claus was thrown into a London jail yesterday for drunken disorderly conduct and lewd and lascivious behavior. Police Constable Hedunnit of the Scotland Yard stated Santa lost control in the Toy Kingdom section at Harrods Department Store, staggering into a pyramid of Beefeater teddy bears while allegedly screaming "I love you Satan". One witness, Mrs. I'mallthat, claims he then opened his fly, but other witnesses dismissed this allegation and stated he didn't actually open his fly but instead grabbed his crotch as part of a lame attempt at hip hop dancing.
Protests were rapidly organized and held today in several European and North American cities, with the hopes of liberating Santa before Christmas. Children marched and waved about signs with 'Free Santa' emblazed in red, while shouting "he's our man; let him out of the can".
