A disturbance in the force (Pie Palace)

Progressive Bloggers (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago

piepalace and blogawa have been down on and off for the past few days. Piepalace has been smacked with thousands of hits (more than 44,000 today alone), and has goosed up its load much higher than usual. Dreamhost has been shutting us down for excessive load. I'd originally thought that I was being DoS'd but [...]

This is the epitome of what is wrong with the Old Guard! The idea of doing something outside the box, not being "contained" and "restrictive" and doing things differently because the old way of excluding everyone but the rich who can afford to take time off work to fly to the convention has worked very well, hasn't it!?[watch video]F.

Progressive Bloggers (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago

In its second year of operation, Toronto FC is a clear success. They sell out every game. They have loyal fans that could easily teach NHL fans what it means to be a fan. They are developing into a club – including offering developmental teams and programs for players of tomorrow.

Could it be the Digby-Saint John ferry service is about to get some federal bounty? Junior MacKay has been pushing New Brunswick to step up but it may be that the feds will just pour in the cash at this point. Who knows. But judging by the massive Conservative spending spree going on to fund the Conservative permanent election campaign, particularly in Nova Scotia of late (how much must we pay for...

Time for the NDP to write a new Manifesto (Saskatchewan Liberty Train)

Progressive Bloggers (Free subscription) | 2 hours ago

Saskatchewan New Democrats, take heed. I see that either Murray Mandryk has been reading my blog, or at the very least reading my mind. The Regina Manifesto is a very frightening document. It calls for the ‘eradication of capitalism’ and basically calls for a socialist economy. In my mind, nothing would be more terrifying than to [...]

Russia tweaks America’s nose again (Saskatchewan Liberty Train)

Progressive Bloggers (Free subscription) | 3 hours ago

Wow, the Russians are really trying to tweak America’s nose, or so it would seem. First Venezuela, and now Cuba. If I didn’t know better, I would almost swear that the new government in Russia is pink, or has a pink tinge to it…
