You could build an entire house out of all that straw.

I also saw the episode of Last Week Tonight where John Oliver made those jokes. Being a good leader isn’t about being the smartest person in the room, it’s more about surrounding yourself with the smartest people. While I’m not normally a Liberal supporter, I think Trudeau is off to a running start with the formation…

Canadians are happy they’ll be less screwed over in the past four years than they have been under the last regime.

You forgot to head this counterfactual with “And In Bizarro Canada”.

Umm.... If you were aiming for ‘passably funny’ you missed by a light year or two.

They’ve also announced the long form census is coming back in time for the 2016 census.

reinstating the long-form census on the second day of business is a pretty good indication that they are (for the moment) dedicated to undoing a lot of damage

And, of course, the American witches and wizards must call Quidditch something else that is not “Quidditch”, while the rest of the wizarding world calls Quidditch just “Quidditch”.

“Eagles nest” first thing that comes to mind: “Adlerhorst” Hitler’s command complex or his favorite retreat (Kehlsteinhaus) in the German alps.

The Finance Minister is not an investment banker though, he ran a HR consulting firm, he understands retirement, pensions and finance. This is a pretty great appointment.

There’s gender parity and there’s racial diversity, too.

“But this is what the liberal media always does, it attacks the messenger trying to avoid the message,” she said. “Here is the message: It is factually true that women have been hit very hard by progressive policies.”

there seems to be a trend here right now in our news media (the CBC currently being the worst that i’m aware of) that the comments sections on articles are flooded with conservative/right-wing troll posters, especially of the sexist and racist variety (they’re really big on hating women and muslims right now). when it…

Perhaps. But it’s been proven that even in cases in which women work as many or more hours then men, they’re still expected to do the housework.

Plenty of people get tired of being “just a girlfriend” and want the title and the party. There is real discontent at not having that moment. It’s a dealbreaker for many.

I know I am a grizzled not quite old lady but every time a friend comes to me bitching about the lack of a proposal and how she can’t stand the idea of still being just his girlfriend, my response is, “If you can leave this relationship over a ring and a party, you should probably go find someone you want to spend…

He is the coach reciting a prayer for all the kids to hear. What kid, who wants to be on the coaches good side and get some playtime on the field, is not going to feel they need to participate? That has no place in a public school. He can silently and quietly pray all he wants…but they are more interested in preaching.

40 HR and a .913 OPS is a circus act?

Also in this case Deadspin isn’t being contrarian at all, 99% of the human population enjoyed that bat flip/home run/celebration. The other 1% being Rangers fans/players, grumpy 80 year old sports writers and a few burner kinja accounts.

Bring it Texas! ;)

Not surprising considering the history and real legacy of Mother Theresa. Just following in her footsteps of actually hurting people instead of really helping. Luckily there are loads of amazing and cool nuns, but Mother Theresa and her order were/are not these people.
