Sucking on the Bush teet
It's no longer just the Murdoch empire that employs the virtually unemployable liars and incompetents of the Bush administration. With Tiger Woods humourously attempting to jump start his failed reputation hiring disgraced Bush talker Ari Fleischer, it appears former Bush flacks are crawling out from the rocks under which they've been hiding the last few years.
Where did the UofA’s money go?
Further to my comments yesterday about the University of Alberta’s Engineering Student Society endorsing plans to tax students, Brendan Taylor, with the Student Worker Action Group of APIRG has linked me to his complete financial analysis of the operating budgets of the UofA (plus many other institutions) over the past decade. To complement his analysis, [...]
Constructive solutions
I’ve taken two extended posts now to heavily criticize the University of Alberta’s current move to tax students to make up for their growing deficit, but rather than merely oppose, how would I fix the problem?
While I’m no economist (likely a good thing in this case), and don’t have access to the entire financial records, [...]

BigCityLib 'lowers the discourse'
Actually, BCL is just uncovering the moronic essence of a vacuous and trashy ex-beauty queen whose only ticket to the Con party is her complete lack of scruples and a talent for perfidy.

Of course they can't apologize
It just isn't in their nature.
They never have and never will. Their god-like self image and lack of self-awareness is what gives them the sheen of power and the stink of asshole.

On bad precedents
I don’t care how you see Rahim Jaffer’s $500 fee for speeding, drunk driving and cocaine possession (actually he got off scotch-free on the last two), but hoping that a large enough Facebook group can overturn the results of our justice system is asking for trouble.

Ashamed of my peers
That’s my naked right pinky finger. On most engineers (who are right-handed) you will typically find a piece of iron (actually stainless steel) that represents their obligation to engineering. I didn’t get mine because I refused, and still do, to sign the Obligation that would have required me to hypocritically betray my conscience while pledging [...]
Bonnie and Clyde
Next to this coked-up duo, Bonnie and Clyde look like erudite scholars who knew how to behave in public. At least someone is madd as hell.

Is Lawrence Cannon an anti-Semite?
Probably not, but his 'muted' criticism of Israel, had he been a Liberal, would have surely drawn accusations of anti-Semitism from our friends on the right. I bet there's not a peep from that side of the aisle about Mr. Cannon, though.

New York Fire Department (FDNY) Says Saskatchewan Party Poster Is Offensive
"The FDNY (Fire Department of New York) hopes that no one ever forgets what happened on September 11th. However, we do think that the use of images of the attacks for political or monetary gain, like the image on this poster, is in bad taste."

Even Right Wing FOX News Does NOT Like Saskatchewan Party 'Pig Roast' - 911 Poster
The Saskatchewan Party seems to have even ticked off FOX News with it's idiotic poster advertising a pig roast dinner and exploiting the September 11th tragedy.

Ontario NDP ignores will of people
So people will continue to ignore the ONDP.
Specifically this time, ONDP leader Andrea Horwath is refusing to debate the merits of amalgamating the Ontario Catholic School Board into the public, secular system.
For some reason it seems that these supposedly ‘controversial’ ideas are really only controversial to the politicians, of all parties, who are unwilling to [...]

Canada's International Development Agency gladly took millions in donations from Canadians with the promise that funds received by February 12, 2010 would be matched by the Federal Government. Yet to date ... over two months since the disastrous Haitian earthquake ... not one cent of your donated money has been spent as it was intended!
"I called the agency yesterday with questions about the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund. You probably remember this. It’s where the Canadian government promises to match funds Canadi...

Alcoholic atheist in Manitoba? Too bad
Rob Johnstone of Winnipeg Manitoba has alcoholism and is trying to get help.
Unfortunately, Addictions Foundation of Manitoba requires recovering addicts to accept a higher power before they can proceed in their programs. Rob has a “faith-neutral” stance and would rather recover on his own then submit to a different vice. In fact, he was asked [...]

I apologize for the Fifth Column going into apparent limbo. The Fifth Column hopes to be back to reasonably regular postings (at least a few times a week) soon.
Old guys far hornier than old chicks
No mystery there. What happened to all the women my age? They all seem to be asexual. I was looking forward in my old age to fucking my brains out with randy old women. No!

In the final days of the last Federal Election, former Conservative MP, Rahim Jaffer ran a radio ad in Edmonton slamming the New Democrats as being 'pro-drug'.
-The New Democrats went on to defeat Rahim Jaffer for his Federal Riding.
-Jaffer went on to be arrested for drunk driving and possession of cocaine.
"Jack Layton and the Ottawa NDP have publicly supported the legalization of marijuana. In fact when asked about marijuana Jack Layton called it a wonderful substance which Canadians should be free to smoke at home or in a cafe. Edmontonians understand how difficult it is to make sure our children make the right choices especially on serious issues like drug use. The Conservative Party supports drug free schools and getting tough with drug dealers who sell illegal drugs to children. Don't let our schools go up in smoke..on October 14th vote Conservative."

The most corrupt government in recent Canadian history
Forget the sponsorship scandal. The Cons have rolled over the country like a Duffy whale, making their own rules, paying big sums to protect their own (including judges) and generally disregarding the people who put them in power.
If only we had a media who would go after the Cons like they did the Libs during Chretien's day.
You have to wonder if Helena Guergis wasn't coked out of her mind...

What’s wrong with wanting a community?
Take this as a review of a review.
I liked most of Tom Flynn’s review of Greg Epstein’s Good Without God in February/March’s Free Inquiry, but some of it was hypocritical, name-calling nonsense.
First the good:
Greg M. Epstein is the humanist chaplain of Harvard University and, let’s be frank, a young man on the make. He’s an [...]

“I have no objection to faith-based organizations providing services. Sally Ann (the Salvation Army) and others have been doing a great job for [...]
