Time magazine, in their standard New Year’s edition, named Journalists as the person / persons of the year. Are you kidding me? Must be fake news. No, no, no. For a blogger like me this guy has to be one of the news makers of the year, what with all of his threats”:And his band of Merry Men:
Check out those hats man, and uniforms. And here, at a North Korean “Pride” Parade:
I’ll say. It was a nice day for a parade until they brought out the electron magnet.
Nah, we here in the west have nothing to worry about.
And my other newsworthy person of the year has to be:
“Are you talking to me? Yeah…you, are you talking to me?”
For a blogger like me these dudes are the gifts that keep on giving. It was close though as I felt that this guy deserved an honorable mention.
“Manna from heaven dude. Hey David let’s go for a Barista and a toke man.”
For my European friends the guy on the right is our fearless (and clueless) Prime Minister. The guy on the left is David Suzuki, Canada’s pre-eminent enviro – mental.
And of course, what about this guy:
“Vivre La France” ….dude and dudesses.
See, even this guy agrees with me.
No, “Time,” you got this one all wrong.
So, my person of the year is shared between Donald Trump of the USA’s Bridge and Euchre Association and Who Flung Poo from North Korea. Honourable mentions to Macron and Trudeau – brothers in arms.
Song of the day. This is a classic. When this came out in 1960 it would turn out to be the greatest dance tune of all time. It hit number one on the charts multiple times and went on the produce many copycats. I was 9 when it came out and I remember, fondly, playing this record over and over and over again at the cottage on Georgian Bay that my parents rented for a few weeks every summer. Great memories:
You know this is a great song for even after 59 years you still want to get up and shake that booty. Check out those glam suits.
If the world had more songs like this there definitely would be world peace.
Comin up close to the Vezelay walk. Only 50 more sleeps. Getting kind of scary too:
Could the G7 pull this off? I doubt it.
De-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Commitment for the recovery of the Korean War’s Missing in Action and Prisoners of War! Now that’s some Communique. Of course the EU and Trudeau are going Ape-shit today:
This is Bull-Crap, the members of the G7 were heard to say.
All Trudeau could do was adjust his eyebrows when he heard the news:
Meanwhile: over at CNN
“We have to lead off with that Stormy Daniels thingy. We can spend at least 24 hours covering off that story…non stop.”
“Yeah, but what about the North Korean / US summit. Don’t ya think we should be covering up that?” one of the producers remarked.
“We ARE covering it up. No news there. Trump is a warmonger who has to be brought down, no matter what he does. We hate him, hate him, HATE HIM, HATE, HATE HATE HIM. Can I be any clearer.” Wolf Schlitzer was heard to scream in between sips of his shit-zer.
Meanwhile, back in Canadastan
I have a dream people. I have a dream:
No more pipelines:
Bring me your truck drivers, bring me your pipe fitters, your welders, your engineers, your labourers and I’ll show them the way. That the world doesn’t need fossil fuels but can run on a “cuppa joe… Yes, I have a dream that all good men and women of race or colour can shed their burdens and follow me to the promised land…a land of barista joints and dubies. Yes I have had that dream and it is a good and wet one.”
“Obviously we support the continuing efforts of the President on North Korea,” Trudeau says of Trump. “We look forward to looking at details of agreement. On his comments, as I’ve said, I’m going to stay focused on defending jobs for Canadians and supporting Canadian interests.” (Tasker).
He went on to say:
“We are not going to lower our 270% dairy tariffs to appease Nafta or American interests. The Quebec dairy mafia would kill us, especially during the next erection – er election. Sorry, Freudian slip there fellas…ha,ha.ha. Having said that, that Trump is the devil himself for raising his own aluminum and steel tariffs. That will kill our own steel and aluminum sector. And I can’t have that, especially coming up to our next erection, er damn, there’s that word again…election.
“When is the next erection” – a reporter from Japan asked of the PM when pissed, er plessed! “And what about that alleged gloping incident.”
“Oh yes I have had the odd Duby”. the PM answered to the Japanese reporter. “But I didn’t exhale! That stuff is too good to ret out of me bag… er body”
French President Macron and his 66 year old wife Dorus could only smile in agreement. “Subsidies? Say what are those things anyway? We here in France n’avons pas des subsidies. Nous avon un 1.5 heur demain de travaille, Alorus eh Dorus! Mon Dieu, we have been in Canada too long…eh!

Wow, only in the UK. Teenager says selling her virginity online ruined her life, Aleexandra stated. Aleexandra? What sort of name is that? I can see Alexandra but Aleexandra with two e’s. Why? Is that to say she leaks? Or to differentiate herself from Alex? But the “dra” would have done that for sure.
She goes on to say that the sale didn’t occur and that she recovered emotionally through the support of her husband. Yup, she sold her virginity to him and he will be paying for the rest of their married life….a couple of years perhaps in this me,me,me generation we live in….geesh. Her 15 seconds of shame!
Kinder Morgan pipeline? Dead in the water. Do not believe Trudeau and his rhetoric that he supports this and it will be a “go” because it is in our national interest. In France recently he touted that the energy sector in Canada is an embarrassment to the world. One he is personally ashamed of and that he would love to get Canada off of the energy teat as quickly as possible.
So he and Macron have great synergy on this file. Kinder Morgan will soon raise the “white flag” and abandon this venture – a move that the French will applaud as it is a sign of the new “white flag” economy, one that France has much experience with.
Trudeau beamed then asked Macron where the closest Barista “joint” was.
As with solar energy, wind power and other forms of alternative energy like “Beano” or “Pork n Beans,” (forever popular in the Muslim world) the stats on electric / hybrid car sales are pretty poor if not consistent at about 2-3% over the past decade. The environ – mental whackos would have us think differently.
Only in Canada: Child Molesters can change their names to begin a “new” life. Provincial governments approve….disgusting!
I think this is one issue Trudeau could wrap his arms around and sort things out.
“This completely changes everyone’s thinking about how the immune system works – and it solves this problem of telling the difference between invaders and self,” Goodnow told The Australian Financial Review.
What’s so exciting here is that the adaptation essentially represents a new kind of immunity we never knew about.
This finding could pave the way to discovering new vaccines to fight infections like HIV and campylobacter, which hide from our immune systems by effectively mimicking our own biological material.
Campylobacter? What on earth is that? Scary stuff! I’ll never go camping again nor will I ever eat lobster.
“The idea that you could start with a bad antibody and make it good just hasn’t been in anyone’s lexicon.”
Exciting stuff. And what will happen now with this new discovery?….. Nothing!
From the squeamish millennial file comes this:
Supermarkets in the…UK…. are bout to introduce touch free meat products for millennials who are afraid to touch raw meat before cooking it.
They cook?
Scientists have discovered that if we eat less and eat with a balanced diet we can live longer. Only downfall to all of this they found was that we would begin to look like these guys:
“How cute.” A PETA warrior was heard to remark. “Sign me up”
A “Clockwork Orange” anyone
The Cable Non-News Network brought up the “Trump watched prostitutes pee on themselves in Moscow” segment 77 times over a 5 day period. They showed it 48 times on April 13th (Friday???). And this doesn’t reflect a Trump Derangement Syndrome symptom?
This…is…CNN.
Geesh. Where is Edward R Murrow when you need him…. Dead! Just like CNN!
LA and California progressives want books banned – ones they don’t like…like “Winnie the Pooh” as being too racist. White privilege! Remember this:
Nazis burning books they don’t like.
History repeats itself today in Californication.
A headline you’ll never read here in Canada:
South Korean president credits Trump with bringing North Korea to the table. Trump conceivably ends 68 year old cold war.
CNN and the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s response:
