5111...My Fave Part Of Ottawa Pride

Is this schmuck.

He is there every year and every year he makes the paper.  This is from 2012's Ottawa Citizen.  One year he was batman, not to be confused with Batman, complete with wings.  Another year he resembled Mr. Peanut.  I believe the dude from Monopoly made an appearance too.

What is consistent with this stronzo is the fact that he is walking in a parade, his ass hanging out for all to see and his skin the colour of melanoma but while tanning he was too shy to take his shorts off.

That is one big freaking tan line, eh?

A participant in Ottawa’s Pride parade on Sunday. You don’t like it? Don’t look, writes Justin Ling.

5108...Yahoo Editor Gassed

It was on my Slatest.

HOT MIC: "They are happy to have a party with black people drowning." Those were the words that cost Yahoo! News Washington bureau chief his job today, after his comments were recorded during last night's online broadcast by a live microphone.
Yahoo!: "David Chalian's statement was inappropriate and does not represent the views of Yahoo!. He has been terminated effective immediately. We have already reached out to the Romney campaign, and we apologize to Mitt Romney, his staff, their supporters and anyone who was offended."

Group think indicates that we are not supposed to say anything accurate about the man who accomplished nothing during his career.

My Facebook friend Dean Rivando thinks otherwise.  

Dean RivandoOne year since the death of Jack Layton, the man who killed the Liberal Early Learning and Child Care agreement with the provinces, an agreement that would have formed the basis of federal universal child care.
Quebec's experience with $7 a day child care proves that this is one of the most effective policy measures in reducing poverty. It allows people in one of the key groups at risk for long term poverty, single mothers and fathers, go to work. It reduces their dependence on the state.
The NDP hates the poor just as much as they hate the rich. Don't be fooled.
And Jack Layton was anything but a saint.

He left out the fact that Mr. Layton also killed the Kelowna Accord and lied by omission to the Canadian people during the last election.  On the plus side I know a guy who used to deliever takeout to Mr. Layton and the missus.  Helluva tipper I am told.

The Los Angeles Times' James Rainey was listening, along with millions of Americans, to Mike Huckabee's national radio show yesterday and transcribed these bon mots "Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape...I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things."

'We've got a President that does a call to the Koran or Mecca or whatever,' he told the magazine. When asked if he believed Obama hated America, Williams Jr. responded, 'I don't know about that but it's kind of obvious. I guess when you take a tour, a world tour, to apologize for America.'"
Wait for it, it gets better.  Joe Lawler of The Des Moines Register says that at the Iowa State Fair last week Hank Williams Jr. told his cheering fans that "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"

5042...Crime In Ottawa

This is what passes for crime in your capital, a metro of about 1.3 million btw.

580 CFRA is actually broadcasting this story and has it on their website.


Police seek would-be cheese thief
Lauren Davis with Sarah Anderson
Thursday, August 16, 2012Ottawa Police are looking for a man who tried to steal 21 blocks of cheese from a Nepean grocery store.
It happened at a Food Basics on Merivale Road around 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
After a brief struggle with the grocery store's security guard, the suspect dropped the bag full of about $130 worth of cheese and ran off.
The suspect is a man in his 20s, about 5'10", 200 lbs., with a dark mohawk haircut.
Best part of the story is it took two, 2, TWO of CFRA's crack 24 hour news team to nail this puppy down.

5041...The King Is Dead; Long Live The King

It was on this day in 1977 that the King, Elvis Presley, died on the toilet at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.

One of those moments that is etched in my mind forever.  I was sitting in front of a bowling alley in downtown Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan with my boy Jeff Hamilton when we heard the newsflash on 13CJME.

We took our sitting in front of the Bowlarama as a sign and went in and bowled a string in his honour.

So, according to m' real world and Facebook friend Dan Colterman "Brian Lilleys report tonight, points to Frank Graves being 'Pierre Poutine'. Watch for it. This is going to be good."

This of course defies all logic.  Frank Graves is from Ekos and they are the Liberal pollsters and one would think, unless he is a self hater, Mr. Graves would be tres red.

Honest to goodness you cannot just say sh*t coz it fits your argument.

Yes he is.  The porcine mayor of the greatest city in the world is on the leading edge of multi tasking.

The multi task is, of course, reading and driving.

Hizzoner avoided a fine [and dying] when he was reading some stuff while cruising down The Gardiner Expressway earlier in the week.  Carmen Velocci followed Rob Ford's lead Tuesday just after noon in the Woodstock area but wasn't so lucky.  She didn't die but Canoe reports that her reading while moving 88 feet per second caught her a distracted driving charge.

5035...More Ethnic Cleansing In Store For Quebec

580CFRA, the anglo news station in La Belle's third largest market of Gatineau, tells all that "The Parti Québecois is promising Quebec voters it will forbid public employees from wearing religious symbols on the job. That would include Muslim women wearing head scarves, Sikh men wearing turbans, and Jewish men wearing yamakas but would not remove the Christian crucifix. Leader Pauline Marois says the crucifix is part of Québecois heritage."

Yeah, bay bee!

Carleton's Ravens men's team played a team from Buffalo, the UB Bulls that were a mirror image of themselves and, as should be, the game came down to the last shot.  Number 44 for UB [the only person not in the program btw] rimmed out a 3 as time expired and the U of K won 77/75.  Or may be 79/77.  Whatever, you get the idea.

First off I gotta say I really love Quebec.  My dad worked in a factory there, E. B. Eddy's, for half a century, I have spent about 80 per cent of my life within a mile of the border, shop there, just think it is the coolest.

I may be the only one in the ROC who feels that way.

As you prob know the leader of the PQ, Pauline Marois, is agitating for another referendum.  Turns out a poll done for QMI by Abacus Data indicates that 26 per cent of Canucks would like to see Quebec go bye bye and, if a referendum were held in the ROC they would vote that way.

The former governor of Mass, the son of the former governor of Mich and the man who would be the ruler of all things American, Mitt Romney canna make his mind up.

Steven Benen on MSNBC's Maddow Blog reports that "For months, Mitt Romney has said repeatedly that Americans should vote for him because of his business record. In a startling turn of events, he told Chuck Todd he'd like his past to be excluded from the race altogether."

Decisive.  Mr. Romney is not decisive.

5021...Heavy Hookers Cost Taxpayers Many Bux

It is all there in The Telegraph.  Prostitutes in New Zealand's biggest city, Auckland, are wreaking havoc and costing tax payers in that burgh beaucoup d'argent.

The problem is the hookers are using traffic signs as dance poles, an advertising ploy that has apparent success; the negative part of the equation is the fact that, according to Donna Lee an elected member of the Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board, "...Some of the prostitutes are big strong people."

More than 40 poles have been bent, buckled or broken on the Auckland stroll in the last 18 months.

5018...Quebec Looks PQ ish This Time

Look the election in Quebec is toute toute f*cke; who you gonna pick?

There is Jean Charest, the Conservative who calls himself a Liberal.  Corruption?  What corruption?  Sure 86 per cent of Quebecers think the nation inside a nation is dirty [reference Eric Duhaime's piece in The Ottawa Sun earlier this week] but what do they know?

There is Pauline Marois, who is just a whacky throw back to the pre Rene Levesque days of separatism.  She is insane in the membrane.

The CAQ?  It is the new ADQ and we really didn't figure out the ADQ so its rebirth is sorta confusing.

The party that interests the most is the QS, Quebec Solidaire, the only progressive, truly progressive, party running.  QS is projected in a current Voir.ca poll to get 5 seats, up from 1.  But those 5 seats may give them the balance of power.

Still.

5010...Stephen Harper Has No Soul

My friend Denise Brunsdon, a star to be in Canuckistanian politics, shared this on Facebook earlier this day.

South Asian Women's Centre Statement: "Kandasamy Gunapoosani Amah is 70-year-old Sri Lankan woman was deported back to Sri Lanka today. She has 4 children, two of whom are here in Canada and two of whom are in Norway; she has no other close relatives or friends in Sri Lanka. Her family asked Immigration Canada to let her stay here so that they can take care of her, but the Government refused. Her refugee claim has been denied, though her Humanitarian and Compassionate ground appeal is still in process. This tragedy will separate an elderly widowed mother from her children who are willing to care for her. Worse, she will return to a country where she has no immediate family to care for her."

My view on immigration is simple and clear.  Let them all in and if they f'up, well that is what courts are for.  Frankly I don't think Ms. Amah was a f'up.  She definitely didn't get due process.

At least if they are poor and live in North Central, which is quite possibly the worst neighbourhood in North America.  Drug wise, mortality wise, get your ass killed wise, North Central has it all.

It also used to have a program called RAGS [I hope I got that right; I am working off a video piece CBC Regina ran earlier] but the money ran out.

Interestingly Mayor Pat Fiacco, Premier Brad Wall and our beloved Prime Minister Stephen Harper along with community leaders in the Queen City have found 200 or 300 million shekels to build a football stadium.

4998...Beach Volleyball Bums

John Bower tipped me through Facebook, by the way you may friend me if you want, dannyboy5770@hotmail.com, about the horror of those poor exploited beach volleyball players having their bums photoed and broadcast all over the TV.

The article from Metro.ny says that the over emphasis on the ladies posteriors is "...gross..."

What the sanctimonious twerp who wrote the piece, Nate Jones, left out of the discourse is the fact they, the beach volleyball players, male and female, seem to do all of their signalling using their asses as shields.  This makes ass shots an essential part of following the game in the same way crotch shots of catchers in baseball are important.  Don't see Mr. Jones vexed about that, do we? 

Two more things boss.  First off do not, I repeat, do not watch football, especially the NFL.  If there is a 

more ass oriented sport than football, well, there ain't.


Secondly the finals are tomorrow at 4, USA vs USA with the Bronze match between Brazil and China at 2.    Personally I am hoping for Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor coz Ms. Walsh is Irish and Ms. May-Treanor and I are FB friends.
