    When considering the planet today, I feel the glass is half empty. A glass once filled with culture and wildlife has been drained. I see music stores, bookshops and postal services all going out of business. It all makes me feel like a grumpy old man.

  • Up with people, down with radical feminism

    By September 21, 2011

    I learned very early on that a girl can hurt you physically, and that they’ll probably beat you at most things. In short, I learned that the only difference between men and women was a matter of anatomy; that equality was a reality and that it was something I should respect and promote. It wasn’t until high school that I was informed by a helpful group of Radical feminists that I was a cancer upon the earth.

  • With a Conservative majority, Harper finally gets to pass senseless crime bill

    By September 21, 2011

    After more than five years of being thwarted by opposition parties, Stephen Harper will finally get his chance to reshape Canada’s justice system to become meaner, more bloated and less effective.

  • Why do we crave everlasting happiness?

    By September 19, 2011

    The pursuit of happiness is a common goal for all types of people. People selfishly and desperately try to seek out what will make them the happiest for their entire lives.

    If you have ever avoided the news because you found it too depressing, or if you have ever felt the world is falling into decay, war and misery ”” this column is for you.

  • The allegation that we live in a “rape culture” is deeply sexist

    By September 17, 2011

    I am offended. I so rarely get to say that, since being offended has a lot to do with self-identification as a victim and, as a middle-class white male, I really don’t have much opportunity to feel that way. However, the allegation that we live in some sort of “rape culture” offends me. It is a statement both empirically wrong and deeply sexist.

  • To sleep, perchance to dream

    By September 16, 2011

    Children can pass out at any moment during these activities, sleep enveloping them like a large bear sitting on an unsuspecting squirrel, blissfully unaware of how lucky they are to be sleeping at all. In reality, this makes them little more than energetic narcoleptics but at least they’re usually not breaking things or pooping everywhere while they’re asleep. As you get older, sleep tends to become less like a surprise and more like an actual prize that must be earned in various ways.
