The series starts here. * * * * This was just weeks after the 2011 election, and is very interesting to think about at the one-year mark of Harper's majority. Given what we know now - Jack Layton's death, the NDP's election of a centrist leader, the continued revelations of Conservative election fraud, the extreme ideology of the Harper government - what would we add to this today?

ReplyDeleteTurning off anonymous doesn't work. The spam comes as registered users as well.
ReplyDeleteI think it always goes on the latest post though. Maybe you could make a decoy spam collector post each time you make a real post.
Make it stop!!!! Too much spam!

ReplyDeleteI dunno, Red-girl seems so appropriate for some reason. ;)

ReplyDeleteYeah, pink would have been more appropriate.

ReplyDeleteI know what this is ... this is an espresso machine.
No, no, wait. It's a a snow cone maker.
Is it a water heater?

ReplyDeleteG, sometimes you confuse the hell outta me. :)
Ray?

Sure. Say Ray with a fake Texas accent, and it comes out "Rye". At least it does on Dallas.
