Because I follow Harper's crimes so closely, I know exactly why there is no cabinet shuffle.
Optics.
If he moves his stupid jackasses around, it's a signal that the government is troubled, with respective files bungled, which is the Reality.
Playing one card, booting Oda, gives the impression that Harper is beyond happy with his gaffe-prone goofs.
Intelligent people know otherwise.
Guys like me have his fucking number.
And I will never relent.
NEVER.
I'll hammer him until he's in handcuffs.
You should have a column or at least a blog.
Do you know how easy it is to start a blog via Google? It take five minutes. I started one last January and it seems to get more hits than my website or Filmleaf posts for some reason.

I don't have time for a blog. I barely have enough time to post what I do. I'm a working stiff, and internet time is precious.
A blog would be nice, but I don't have the time. I gotta pay my rent.
I'm not particularly worried about getting the word out on how much the Harper government sucks.
As long as the few of us here are aware, I'm happy.
I like the idea of someone stumbling on this thread- Conservatives especially.
I don't need fanfare.
Plus blogs seem like ego trips.
I'm on no ego trip.
A loss to humanity and, especially, Canada.
If time and money were not an issue....I'd be Spartacus.
:)
Huffington is filling a need then, but the Times would fill it better assuming their contributers are more carefully vetted.
Not sure a blog is ipso facto an ego trip; it would depend on the content. Though a little strongly worded, your posts here would be good material for an op ed column and your writing is snappy and energetic. Why don't you care about audience? Do you think you're preaching to the converted? No, evidently, since you hope some conservatives will come upon your posts. I understand your not having the time though. I wasn't suggesting writing anything difficult however, only posting what you write here also in a blog. if you can just cut and paste, you're there.
The signers of the American declaration of independence pledged "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." I was moved to read that in the Times again on July 4. Lives, fortunes, sacred honor: that's everything. That's what revolution demands.
I don't write with an audience in mind. I don't even know if there is an audience, beyond members here.
I noticed we always have around a hundred guests, but who are they?
Are they just gleaning? That's fine.
Getting something for nothing is a human desire- it's built in. Look at Bev Oda. LOL
I like our limited profile, and until someone steps up to pay my ass, I'm happy to be a talking head with "snap".
Thanks for your positive re-inforcement, because you are the genuine article Man.
I hope people realize just how much you have contributed here. It really is amazing. You have more time than the rest of us to write and that is awesome- you can really flesh everything out. Jealous green over your abilities and English.
I'm just happy there are no idiots here who can't converse. Anyone who even takes a passing look at the forums knows that we don't fuck around. You say your piece and then defend your piece. Then move up the trail to the next thing.
Very kind and well said. Who knows but what for people like us, having no visible audience inspires us to do our best. I've never cared much about audience myself, though during the period when I was a full-time artist showing and selling my work was an essential motivation. If I hadn't been selling it then, I would have had to do something else.
I'm not one to talk about myself too much, but I do sometimes write hoping Hunter Thompson would approve of the direction I'm going in.
He inspires me, and so does Jim Morrison, a man who said his greatest heroes are artists and writers, so it's not a bad thing to try to aim for the arena. Jim said that if Nixon fucks up, "we're gonna get him!". So thats what I do.
Stephen Harper has fucked up BIG TIME and I'm gonna get him. In fact, I already have.
And then there is Henry Rollins, of course.
That man is the textbook example of how to do it.
If you actually took the time to contemplate what Henry has achieved in his life and is still force marching on, you're head would begin to shrivel.
Shrivel indeed. Shrivel in disgust at how low the targets we set for ourselves are and how most people have no fire in their bellies to live like you will not be here the next day.
That is one hell of an amazing mentality to have, to maintain.
And I fall far short. I try to remind myself (with Henry's own Iron Reminder lesson) that you must yearn for things that split the sky and make planets slam into each other.
I'm seeing Alice Cooper tonight, who opens for the main event of Bluesfest: Iron Maiden.
Should be a HEAVY night Kids.
Alice said in the paper today that the young bands today suck. No testosterone.
And I agree.
What is with pansy music these days?
Get it on and bang a fuckin' gong. Don't pussyfoot around.
It's good and necessary to have models but you have to speak ultimately with your own voice, which I think you do.
I'm sure the testosterone is lurking somewhere waiting to come back into rock music. Just hang on there. Funny a guy who took a woman's name bewailing the femininity of new musicians though.
More news about Bev Oda:
She smoked cigarettes in her office and it drove her staff crazy. She had an air purifier put in her office (installed at taxpayers expense) but the smell was still rancid. She could always be seen outside Parliament having a ciggy before Question Period, her hands shaking. Then, immediately after QP, she'd be at the same spot, to light up another, relieved that that ordeal is over again for another day.
And always with her dark sunglasses on too, looking very shifty. A photographer snapped an infamous photo of Oda, looking like a thief with something to hide, butt in her yap, shades on, on the lookout for the po-po.
I'll try to find a pic and post it so you can see what your average Conservative Minister looks like outdoors.
Said Pic of disgraced sow Bev Oda
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney is STILL a big bag of hammers these days.
He posted an online petition on his webpage and he CONGRATULATES HIMSELF on a job well done.
It's amazing. A petition he created by himself congratulates himself for his fucked up immigration file.
Do Canadians know just how stupid all Conservatives are?
If they do, they are turning a big blind eye to it.
And this week in Calgary Alberta for the Stampede, Harper declared that Calgary is the Best City in Canada.
Who says Mulcair is divisive?
Harper is Leading the Charge!
He's not even from Calgary- it's only the oil headquarters and Conservative cesspool of the whole Nation!
He's a die-hard Leafs fan too. What planet does he live on???
It's a legit question.
In an unscripted moment of funky dumbness, he professes his preference for Cowtown, a city that I was VERY happy to leave in 2002.
There is no city more "business" or "corporate" than Calgary. Or more Redneck. Or more banal. Or more profit-driven.
Toronto is an oasis of culture compared to Calgary, and Harper is from Toronto originally.
What a traitor. What an oil whore.
Helena Guergis' lawsuit is being heard in an Ottawa court today.
Harper's lawyers say that it is not the courts' decision to say who stays in government cabinet or not- it is "Parliamentary Priviledge", and he says her case has no base.
Can you BELIEVE this shit?
Parliamentary Priviledge? Are you kidding me? So if a member of cabinet lies and steals and rapes the taxpayers it's "parliamentary priviledge" too??????
Are you saying you have cosmic immunity from anything and everything!?!?!?
Holy Fucking Dogshit this asshole must hang.
I hope he gets taken to the cleaners big time.
It's like a guy said on Yahoo:
If Harper got pulled over and charged with DUI, he'd call the bartender a Liberal and smear the cop for being dead-bang on, while crying "Executive Priviledge!!!!"
