Very nice.

Abortion: Safe, Legal ... and RARE!

Once met him and his mates after a game at Maple Leaf Gardens. The Flyers lost. But, I got most of their autographs after the game and I made a little note underneath Bobby Clarke's sig - 'Don't bug him after he's just lost a game.' Heh.

It'll be our very own CW Bluesfest!!!!

I can't wait!

(Now that's a favorite number haha)

I'd like to suggest "Blues" as next Sunday's Dance Party theme.

Whaddaya say, Miss Canada? Whoops, I meant Ms. Canada.

Fallopians 10:4

Not to get an early start on next Sunday, but sometimes a fella just can't help but have the Blues.

I grew up in Hockey town and after making the playoffs for 20-some years in a row and winning a couple titles, my Redwing have been Deadwings of late. Hopefully the rebuild will start paying dividends this season. Are you a hockey fan?

One More Time

Next Sunday night, I shall play some brand spanking new Colin James!

Mama Let Him Play - Jerry Doucette

The Kid Is Hot Tonight

I'm a yuge Progressive Rock fan. Here's a Yes tune, Siberia Khatru.

Cuts Like A Knife

Byran co-wrote this song with his writing partner, Jim Vallance, PRiSM's original drummer etc. and principal songwriter for PRiSM's phenomenal debut album, the first debut album by a Canadian artist to achieve platinum status in Canada! And, that's not Bryan Adams' only connection to PRiSM ...

As Board Mother failed to decree a theme for this evening, let's try a little Bluegrass, Deliverance style.

Two For The Show

You've gotta have hope
Mustn't sit around and mope
Nothin's half as bad as it may appear
Wait'll next year and mope

Turn Me Loose

Speaking of which, Loverboy is up first with a song I hadn't heard before the other day when I listened to it for the first time on one of my favourite facebook pages, Vancouver Rock Groups from the 60's to the 80's. Which is precisely where I'd like to go if ever I could fire up the ole Delorean and travel back in time. :)

Take Me To The Top

I'm told it's an amazing song to have sex to. Ahem. What!?

Your Toronto Blue Jay's won today but finished a game out of the playoffs.

I expect to, unless my taxes client shows up late in the day.

Well, that's a pretty big charge to say that Republicans AND Dems tampered with voting.

I really think that 'projection' is all on Republicans. Not ALL Republicans, mind you, but, a lot of them!

maybe

while it's highly probable that some of the local republicans (and democrats too, mind you) tampered with the absentee ballot process, i believe it's much more likely that donald's method of cheating (not much of a presumption that he did in fact cheat) came through the voting machine companies.

prior to the election donald actively discouraged his base from voting absentee, and after the election he accused dominion voting systems of rigging the votes against him. maybe that's just donald being donald. but to me the only way those two pieces of evidence make sense together (if at all) is that he'd paid them to rig the votes in his favor, and was mad at them for not rigging the votes enough.

JL

The song in [13] should have been this one.

Oh, have I got a song for that!

CrimeWave

Not bad. We've got a Repug crime wave going on regarding voting rights, for sure.

There's a song in there, somewhere ...

Oh, yeah...this one!
Deception

My first reaction to hearing this was that Trump was doing this to see just how far he can make Republican governors go to please him…a narcissistic masturbatory exercise to feed his ego. And while the other reasons I stated may very well play some part in why Trump is doing this, I think that it plays a far bigger role — it keeps us from taking a look at whether Trump and the GOP actually DID commit voter fraud during the 2020 election.

In 2016, the Republican Party got busted for buying votes in NC. They tricked occupants of a poor housing project into believing that they were going to be part of a pilot program aiming to help get more people voting. They were told that they would be paid a decent sum of money for their participation. I am just going to give a general summary of what happened to keep it short: The residents signed requests for absentee ballots to be mailed to them. When they arrived, the staff read out each list of possible candidates and said they would fill in the boxes for the resident and just had them sign their absentee ballot and said that they would mail it in for them.

No one at the housing project called this in to be investigated…it seemed on the up and up to them. The ONLY reason that this voter fraud got busted was because someone saw that this housing project went from having 2 or 3 absentee ballot requests per election year to suddenly having 30-40 requests in 2016. Pretty much every registered voter living in the complex suddenly needed an absentee ballot…which was just a little too odd to ignore.

Had this occurred in 2020, when COVID caused millions to seek mail-in ballots, this scam would not have been viewed as suspicious and they would have gotten away with it!!! I’m guessing that this fact was not lost on the Republican Party when it became clear that a large portion of voters would be seeking a way to vote safely and avoid the threat of COVID-19. IF anyone believes that the GOP wouldn’t attempt this fraud again since the only reason they got caught the first time is no longer a threat to them…you do not pay attention!

An additional talking point, which I have not seen any Democrat utter, is the huge cost to the public purse of Medicare and Medicaid of each person hospitalized. Since Republicans tend to be older and a majority of voters in the South, surely there is a prime opportunity to point out the hypocrisy of those who refuse a FREE vaccine and then cost the taxpayer thousands or even millions. Many of these are likely voters who regurgitate the 'fiscal conservative' hogwash of the GOP.

Yep, serves them right. I saw this on the Interwebs,

#Covidiots, Thank you for playing the natural selection game!

But wait. Why is it a 'nice one'? Does anyone really expect the Republicans to be consistent or honest about this topic?

Ditto about the networks' disinterest in the Eastman memo, and the GOP's becoming an explicitly white-supremacist political party.

Talking points are for arguing. But no one's arguing about these things. Everyone, both Dems and Repubs, knows the Republicans are just plain awful on the questions of powerful men assaulting women - staging semi-legal coups to defeat majority rule in elections - promoting the white race as the natural ruling group in the U.S.

Are the talking points for talking - that is, for actually arguing with the conservative opposition, who rather proudly take ownership of these positions these days - or just for making liberals feel good about themselves?
