So Tabare Vazquez took power in Uruguay yesterday. He was the sixth socialist elected in South America over the last few years, a part of the Bolivarian revolution that Hugo Chavez has been calling for. Vazquez's platform is familiar...help the poor. Land reforms, education, health care...

I'm listening to the Kalaelies (sp?) on CBC right now. They are some kind of legend, apparently. I've heard my musical friends talk about them and according to the intro on the Vinyl Cafe they are the best thing ever. So this is happening again. They aren't annoying, but I just don't get what...

Twila pointed out that SSM reminds her of S&M just because of the initials. Since we still seem to be silly enough to have a need to differentiate I thought we should come up with some new names. We need something that isn't stupid or gay-bashing or just plain old boring, something that is...

I think this is actually left over from the last election, but it's cool anyway. It's a quiz to see whose platform best matches your outlook. http://www.politicswatch.com/VoteSelectorQuiz2004.html Me? I got: Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada (score = 100) Leader of the Bloc...

Jack Layton, speaking on CBC Newsworld's Politics just said that the budget shows that the Liberals and Conservatives are "Same sect partners." I thought Peter MacKay was going to choke on his tongue. :lol: 8)

Kyoto It becomes official tommorow. We finally get to start working towards goals instead of listening to the luddite liars from the oil industry whine like babies. We're starting too late, and the Liberals still haven't put together a solid plan, but we are finally starting. So what are all...

I was just at the mall standing in line with all the other rubes shelling out 5 bucks for a card and 50 bucks for flowers that will be dead by the weekend. I saw a guy in the mall with the coolest shirt I've seen in a long time. Sponge Bob and Patrick are sitting on the beach drinking beer and...

It's February 12, kids. You know what that means? It is Charles Darwin's birthday. He would have been 196 today. So I was thinking...we all agree that Canada needs a national holiday in February. A day when we can all take a break...a little rest between New Year's and whenever the Pope...

I was just listening to the CBC and they had Lister Sinclair announcing 70's disco songs. It was some of the most surreal radio I've heard. You won't hear something on commercial stations. It's also about the only way you can get me to listen to disco.

Okay, this one isn't for discussing same-sex marriage unless that same sex marriage happens to be polygamous, polyamorous, incestuous, or some other form of sex that our society finds odd. My personal feeling is that as long as all involved are consenting adults, then let 'em marry. I really...

Tomato and cucumber right off the vine. A thick slab of cheese. Toasted rye bread. Salt and pepper.

I saw the ad on TV. Before that I'd seen the brother and sister team, a pair of young entrepreneurs from Calgary, talking about their fine-craft-brewed beer that only cost a buck a can. Craft-brewed for high quality. I thought, "Hey, I wonder..." So last night I picked up a 24-can flat of...

The NDP released their Kyoto plan yesterday. Lots of good stuff in there. Check it out. http://douglas.ndp.ca/kyoto/en/index.php

I was listening to the radio yesterday and some intrepid reporter went out in weather that was -3 with the windchill to ask his fellow British Columbians to keep warm. I'm not sure how he managed to find such stupid people, but he did. Anyway, I was thinking it was lucky that it wasn't really...

Ricky, you were asking about Canadian versus American accents somewhere on here. I can't find the thread now, but it doesn't matter. There was a pretty cool show on PBS on Thursday night/Friday morning called Do You Speak American or something like that. It was a three part series, but they...

And by good evening I mean happy damned 2:13 a.m.. I'll mean happy 4:13 a.m. when that rolls around and about 7:13 a.m. I'll feed the dogs. Why not? It's not like I'll be asleep. You know how to tell when you have insomnia? You can listen to the Cowboy Junkies while drinking beer for two...

http://www.rabble.ca/columnists_full.shtml?x=35982 Scott Piatkowski (an excellent writer btw) wants to give sixteen year olds the right to vote. I agree with him. The kids aren't any stupider than us adults, and they are going to have to live with the effects of today's policies for far...
