How fucking dumb IS Donnie?

Posted on November 25, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Uh…THIS fucking dumb: So dumb that he confessed to a high crime right there on FUX Snooze. He just admitted to demanding a quid pro quo of Ukraine. And while the talking heads there are not quite so dumb, the … Continue reading →

Dear Don Cherry: This is why you (and your fans) are shit.

Posted on November 24, 2019 by Sabina Becker

If you’re white — and more to the point, ANGLO white — you’re automagically accepted here in Canada. Everyone else, not so much. So, Don Cherry, you’ve been fired. After some 40 years of boorish blather, which illuminated nothing about … Continue reading →

Headline Howler: Just another day of FUX Snooze bass-ackwardness

Posted on November 22, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Oh looky, widdle Tucky-wucky made a widdle fucky-wucky: Oh sorry! That’s just business as usual at FUX Snooze, where jobs depend on an endless capacity for inverting reality. Or, as they call it, being “Fair and Balanced”.

Dafuq is going on in Bolivia now?

Posted on November 18, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Uh, this. And it’s terrible: Bolivia is in the clutches of fanatical christofascists. From the obvious military coup, to that creepy “cross” hand gesture they made when swearing in their sham government, to Jeanine Añez’s rabid declarations that indigenous people’s … Continue reading →

Compare and Contrast: Evo vs. Angela

Posted on November 17, 2019 by Sabina Becker

“Evo runs for a 4th term: hyperpresidentialism, authoritarianism, populism. Merkel runs for a 4th term: experience, capability, rustproof statecraft. Do you see how they manipulate [you]?” I guess, for the lovely crapagandarati of the mainstream media, running for a fourth … Continue reading →

Dafuq is going on in Bolivia?

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Sabina Becker

Perhaps Yoda isn’t the best comparison. But otherwise…uh, yeah. Shit has gone down in Bolivia, and unfortunately, it’s not in the crapper yet, much less getting the royal flush. Evo was forced to resign (and call new elections, which is … Continue reading →

Music for a Sunday: The more I drink, the less I’m good for

Posted on November 10, 2019 by Sabina Becker
