Radio Diatribe

What the fuck is going on here?

This.

Is this supposed to be news? And that Georgia Straight logo, its placement couldn’t be more ironic.

From “B.C. Case May Change Politics Forever,” an editorial by Stephen Harper published in The Toronto Sun on April 8, 2000:

It seems like a thousand years ago that I went to Ottawa to assist Deborah Grey, Reform’s first and then only MP.

No sooner had Deborah and I arrived in Ottawa than I became aware of three political lies circulating on Parliament Hill. The first was that Deborah was homosexual. The second was that I was homosexual. And the third was that we were sleeping together!

Wait, it gets even better:

Anyone who gets involved in the process will quickly come to realize that lying and politics go together like scandalous dresses and Oscar night.

Scandalous dresses? Oscar night? I mean, what the fuck? Did Harper just out himself?

And, uhh, can somebody elaborate on these rumours?

I was feeling sad yesterday over the fact no one uses my off-campus housing mapper. After a half an hour or so of moping, I got tired of it and decided to cheer myself up by searching for random houses; that way at least one person (that is, me) is using it. This twisted exercise in self-assuagement unexpectedly led to a startling discovery: 125 Columbia St. W is seeking a new group of tenants for Fall 2006.

Will this venerable UW blogging institution stick together to continue their sleepless nights of writing and proofreading vaguely racist flamebaits at a new location? Will the new tenants claim the right to blog under the “125 Columbia” banner, resulting in an epic battle of honour (and purported expertises in trademark laws) between the men (and/or women) of two houses on the uwstudent.org troll board? How will Tom Levesque defend his title as the most hate-mailed man on campus once Sen starts writing for the Imprint, you know, for grad school applications?

God, I still can’t belive this. Couldn’t we at least have elected someone who isn’t riding on the bullet train to Heart-attack-ville? Harper seriously needs to lose sixty pounds if he wants to live past fifty.
