There is no such thing as an “ad hominem” attack. Ad hominem is a form of…
Read moreThe Terrorism Campaign Intensifies #pcaa #wrp #abvote
I’ve been accused, by using the term “terrorism” of insulting the victims of terrorism around the world. Let me be clear: that is not my intent. There is no disrespect. At all. The horrible events of 9/11 and other dates around the world ring loud and clear with me. I remember that morning like it…

I wasn’t entirely happy with the title sequences on my blog post, “Bob Rae Things You’re Stupid“, so I decided to update them.

Read moreBob Rae Thinks You’re Stupid
This is my first video blog entry. Well, if you count “Bye Bye Barlow” it’s actually my second. Either way, here it is.
