5604...Another Reason To Hate Duke

The self proclaimed Harvard of the South and the home to the least classy fans extant.

Last night the Cameron Crazies out/under did themselves by asking Tyler Lewis how his grandma was everytime the NC State guard touched the ball.

Tyler Lewis

His grandma died last Friday.

Another reason to hate Duke.

5602...Ottawa Company Invents Perfect Food

Bacon meet beer; beer, bacon.

The Ottawa Sun reports that "HogsBack Brewing Company will launch its new Aporkalypse Now Oatmeal Bacon Stout this weekend, and it's made with Canadian pork."

Ontario company launches bacon beer

It is a breakfast beer by the way.  Frankly I thought all beers were made for breakfast but what do I know?

Iffen you are looking to try some "HogsBack will launch its breakfast brew Friday at Ottawa's Heart and Crown pub and Saturday at Toronto's The Only Cafe."

5600...Senator Ponytail Wins Cash For Life

Patrick Brazeau is his name and he is a young buck, under 40, who has a secure six figure plus job until he is 75 and, as of today, no over seer.

Here is how CFRA, the radio station of record in Ottawa, dropped the knowledge:

BREAKING NEWSA staff member for Patrick Brazeau says the controversial and outspoken senator has been removed from the Conservative caucus.
  
Lorraine Rochon says that the Senate caucus was notified of the decision today by the office of Sen. Marjory LeBreton.
  
She says the move is effective immediately.
  
Brazeau will continue to sit in the Senate as an independent.
Cash for life.

I hope he had the decency to send Prime Minister Stephen Harper a cadeau.

5599...Senator Duffy And The Constitution At Odds


CTVNews.ca said last night that "The Canadian Constitution requires all senators to reside in the province which they represent."  Reside is 183 days.


"Conservative Senator Mike Duffy, who must prove that his main residence is in Prince Edward Island, was not on the voters’ list in that province in 2011, records show."  The story goes on to tell that "Duffy did cast a ballot in the Ontario provincial election that year..."  Also, and this is kind of where Mr., er, Senator Duffy's logic/greed falls apart, "Property tax records also show that Duffy and his wife are considered non-resident owners of their home in P.E.I. and must pay higher taxes as a result, according to a report in The Guardian, a Charlottetown-based newspaper."


When the esteemed [lol] journalist [lol] was named to the Senate I posited in this very same blog that our beloved Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, put the blowhard in the Senate not to be effective but to illustrate how ineffective the Red Chamber and many of its peeps are. 
 

Mission accomplished.


Senator Duffy is the ultimate answer to the question "Why do we need an elected Senate?"  We need an elected Senate so we can toss stronzo's like him out on their keisters come election day.

5598...Berlusconi Does It Again

Berlusconi has become plural as in the Berlusconi brothers and they are both making news for all the wrong reasons. 

The Globe and Mail reports that "Last week it was Silvio Berlusconi who got into hot water for praising Mussolini. This week it’s the former premier’s younger brother who has sparked outrage — by calling an Italian superstar soccer player of African descent the family’s 'little black boy.'"

Bear in mind that "Italy has had a particularly acute problem with racism in soccer, with monkey chants against black players a relatively common occurrence."

The player in question, Mario Balotelli, is a black man of Ghanan heritage who was born in Sicily.  Team Berlusconi, also known as A.C. Milan, picked up the superstar in a transfer from Manchester United.  Previously Mr. Balotelli played for A.C. Milan's crosstown rival Juventus.

Silvio Berlusconi, who is trying to reclaim the PM job in Italy, says that acquiring Mr. Balotelli just before the election was not a ruse to get more votes in soccer mad Italy.  

Many beg to differ.
