View Article  FTRW - Tories Plan To Withhold Funding for "Offensive" Productions
 Tories plan to withhold funding for 'offensive' productions

"Would this committee put money into Juno? It might not want to encourage teen pregnancy. Would the government put money into a film with a dirty title, like Young People Fucking? Would they invest in something like Brokeback Mountain? They might not want to encourage gay cowboys to have sex together in Alberta."

(via Cenobyte - whose FTRW credentials are strong.  Last year, she let me say "scrotum" AND "nut sack" on her radio show during a discussion about Freedom to Read Week.)
View Article  "Gonna Be (Other) Wars" - The John McCain Version of the Latest Viral Obama Video
I posted an Obama video a few days ago which featured one of his speeches set to music by Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas that was called "Yes, We Can". 

Now, someone's done a parody featuring the very frightening words of John McCain...

View Article  Super Tuesday

Reddit has lots of good articles about today's "Super Tuesday" primaries in the United States.  Do a search for your favourite candidate to narrow it down. 

This one's interesting - apparently John McCain, the Republican frontrunner, was born in the Panama Canal Zone, so is not actually eligible to be President (at least he wouldn't be if anyone in the US still cared for their Constitution!) 

And speaking of Super, how about that SuperBowl finale?  A pretty boring game right until the end and then...wow.  I usually cheer for the underdogs but I was picking the Patriots in the hopes of seeing a history-making undefeated season.  It wasn't to be though (and I am all right with that.) 

The stupid NFL is taking down every clip from the game as soon as they're uploaded to YouTube.  Otherwise I'd link to a YouTube video of the game's highlights.  Instead, you get a highlight video straight from NFL.com, complete with a front-end 30-second Planters commercial - which I'm currently ignoring as I type this in another window instead.  Joy!)

My web site dedicated to four great Canadian singer-songwriters (but currently only featuring guitar tab for two of them - Fred Eaglesmith and Hawksley Workman.)
