This is news? Since when?
So this lady got fired for giving away a Timbit. Then the big company made her bosses rehire her. Next thing you know, we have a gazillion “news” stories about it.

The RCMP, the News Media and Maxime Bernier: Three Peas in a Pod
Sat May 10, 2008 – 3:08 pm
I’m not sure which looks more stupid, the RCMP questioning Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier about his relationship with a Montreal businessman because of a photo the saw of the two shaking hands, or the news media outlets who think this is actually worthy of reporting.
Perhaps the Star, The Chronicle Herald, CTV and […]
Starving Multitudes < Warming Planet
Mon May 5, 2008 – 10:10 am
I thought this was clearly decided a few years ago.
Someone should tell those Asian bankers.
Nobody cares if people are starving as long as we can stave off ferns growing in the Arctic.
Because if the earth were to get warmer, dinosaurs might re-emerge to terrorize the planet, and then we all know what happens then: (besides […]
New Evolutionary Ancestor Discovered!
Sat Apr 26, 2008 – 10:06 pm
Finally, the proof that I’ve been looking for all along. Why didn’t you atheist dudes tell me about this? After all, isn’t this specimen the sort of definitive and uncompromising link that has long been touted as the object which separated the educated and enlightened from the ignorant and self-deceiving. Consider me […]
Expelled Opening Weekend Income
Mon Apr 21, 2008 – 8:25 pm
Second-highest gross earnings for a documentary in its opening weekend! (the #1 spot goes to Michael Moore’s movie that glorifies the Canadian health care system as being efficient…). Well at least that aliens seeding our genetic guts on the backs of crystals theory is getting a nice bit of exposure; thanks Richard Dawkins!
Take a penny, leave a penny…
Wed Apr 2, 2008 – 8:40 am
…leaves us all wasting time, effort and money!
Finally something from the NDP that makes sense but unfortunately, the Conservatives object. Damn. Pat Martin brought this up last year too.
Getting rid of the penny will save minting costs. Furthermore, retailers will stop counting and rolling the wasted metal. The only people who […]
Passing On the Torch: A Final Message
Tue Apr 1, 2008 – 12:00 am
In the vain of other Blogging Tories packing away the keyboard, this morning I would like to announce my own exit from the blogosphere and from The Politic effective immediately. It’s been a fun couple of years writing here, with few exceptions, but recently I have begun to feel that I’m a bit out […]
Earth Hour: Bright Lights That Burnt A Fuse…
Fri Mar 28, 2008 – 10:05 pm
SDA and Joanne have done a good job of point out the ridiculousness of this whole affair this week. My philosophy regarding the western world’s planned love-in tomorrow night is quite simple; a shirt that us heathen meat-eaters sometimes wear inspires the following:
I plan on turning on every appliance and lighting fixture in my […]
Google Hypocrisy - Microsoft is Bad for the Internet?
Mon Mar 17, 2008 – 10:09 am
Google’s Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, had this to say about Microsoft’s attempts to acquire Internet giant, Yahoo:
“We would be concerned by any kind of acquisition of Yahoo by Microsoft,” Chief Executive Eric Schmidt told reporters.
“We would hope that anything they did would be consistent with the openness of the Internet, but I doubt it would […]
Gomery Whines, but Does Anyone Care?
Wed Mar 12, 2008 – 1:11 pm
Quick, someone get former Justice John Gomery some flowers and a thank you card - he feelings are hurt!
Mr. Gomery also admitted he was annoyed, even hurt, by an “ungrateful” Conservative government. He said the commission’s work and his report deserved better treatment at the hands of the Conservatives, who probably wouldn’t be in power […]
