Senator Bozo: Twitter bandit



Imagine if a Canadian cabinet minister responded to questions by a journalist by calling her a bitch on Twitter.
I would hope that cabinet minister would do more than just say, "sorry, my bad". I'm sure the cabinet minister would be forced to apologize to the journalist in the House of Commons. That's the very least the cabinet minister should do. The cabinet minister should be a) censured and b) fired.
Now, I'm not saying that King Stephen would do the right thing by firing the asshole, but I'm sure there would be some kind of punishment.
Not, apparently, for Senator Patrick Brazeau who is getting away scott-free for his unprofessional and sexist behavior on Twitter. From what I hear, Brazeau gets rewarded every time he does something inappropriate such as turning his former office into a speakeasy and acting like Don Draper.
What happened when he was run out of his big chief job?
He got a Senate post.
What are his qualifications to be in the Canadian senate exactly, particularly since he's not yet 40 and can keep that golden ticket until he is 75? Like the Queen of England, he gets his job due to his bloodline. Not because he's a man with a terrific resume, a person who has sacrificed anything.
He's just lucky due to geography and birth.
Like Prince Charles.
Okay, well, he might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but there are lots of Canadian senators of all races and colors who are gasbags or drooling idiots.
But they don't call journalists bitches.
They don't parade around in budgie smugglers duking it out with the spawns of former prime ministers, either.
Talk about your hubris.
What's bad about all this is that Jennifer Ditchburn wanted to ask him some legitimate questions about the fact he's playing hookie and collecting a big government pay day. He's the worst guy in the entire Senate for attendance -- now that's saying something.
He still hasn't come clean on why he can't get his ass into the Senate to catch a little shut-eye in his comfy red chair.
He mutters something about "person reasons".
What like getting his chest waxed?
What's so important that he can't show up for work?
Apparently, he's remaining mum on that question on Twitter.
The guy should never have been appointed to the Senate. But we can't get rid of him unless he commits a crime or something.
Maybe we could lay a trap.
Give him a test.
Surely he wouldn't be that stupid...

What Bell isn't telling you about Fibe TV

Update: This week, we switched back to Rogers after spending far too long using Bell's crappy television service. For those with Bell, read and weep. For those considering Bell, think twice even if you hate Rogers. RS I've always been an early technology adapter. I had a Betamax. That tells you everything (if you're over 50 at least). My first computer was a "Portable". It weighed 40 pounds and I had to lug it around town on a gurney. I've been through probably 15 computers in my lifetime. Apple is the best. It's also too expensive so I have a piece of shit HP, the one I'm writing this blog on. I've had cable, internet and now Netflix. American Netflix . That's how far ahead of the curve I am. I get all the newspapers for free. How? I disabled my cookies so they can't track me when I'm on the newspaper sites. Even the New York Times hasn't cottoned on to that trick. Hahaha. That will be a fifty buck consulting fee. Bein...

Ashley Simpson: Please sign this petition to help her family

Those who read this space regularly know that my family is frantic with worry about my cousin, Ashley Simpson , who has been missing 40 days now. Both her boyfriend and her landlord reported that she had left with no money, no car, no resources from her Salmon Arm, B.C. home after a domestic dispute over money. Since then, there has been no trace of her. The RCMP now considers this a homicide investigation, but the family has not heard any updates from them in more than three weeks. Just after she disappeared, her father, relatives and friends set out from St. Catharines on a long trek to B.C. to find her. They all left their work, and their lives, intent on finding Ashley who had always kept in touch. It was completely out of character for her to lose touch. Her parents have been consumed by worry. They have been unable to work, and are having a hard time functioning. As a result, they are now relying on donations from family and friends to keep the wolf from the door...

The strange case of Greg Etue

I got out of the daily news reporting game, I'll admit, because I didn't have the stomach to cover the many sad stories that came across my desk. I remember clearly once when I had to call an RCMP sergeant after his young son blew his head off with the officer's service revolver. "Please," he pleaded. "I really can't talk right now." "It was your gun, is that correct?" He slammed down the receiver. I was ashamed of myself. People have a right to some privacy in difficult times like that. I also used to hate having to go to the door of a dead child's home and jostle the competition for a picture. Really, it felt more like ghoulism than journalism. That said, I still believe that these stories must be told in an honest and forthright fashion with all the facts and none of the flourish and emotion that is all the rage in reporting these days. Over the past two years, we, in this community, have been treated to a lot o...
