I worry that Trump’s bombing of Iran is going to destroy the credibility of the FIFA Peace Prize.

When I was a kid we were so poor that I had to sleep in a pile of old magazines.

To this day, I have back issues.

Shame on him!
I’ve had it with men’s hockey. It was a good 55 year run, NHL, but I’m done.

And every time they turf their leader they somehow manage to replace him with someone even worse, more radical. And then they blame the Liberals.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the Reform wing of the party.

Here’s a thing you “kids” wouldn’t know - Manitoba tried milk bags for a short while in the late ‘70s (ish), but quickly came to our senses, as the smartest province, and they’ve never returned.

The social relevance of the Turning Point USA half-time show in comparison to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is roughly equivalent to the cultural footprint Allen & Rossi left when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show with The Beatles.

I’m 42, you’re 26. It’s a deal!

Next year it’ll be 50 for me, which is ridiculous, considering that I still think I’m 42.

Trump's attempt to crush a religious uprising might be obvious if the press corps treated everyone’s faith as equally authentic, hence equally legitimate. It doesn’t.

“What You Need”, also by INXS, and their very best song, in my opinion.

Can you elaborate? This is something I’ve heard nothing about.

Whether at a silent retreat, the middle of a peaceful forest or at a screening of Melania, I hope everyone gets to take a little bit of time to themselves this weekend.

It’s today’s equivalent of Neil Young’s “Ohio” after Kent State. It’s a tragedy that after all these years, it’s still happening.

More than 55 years later, people still remember Neil Young’s “Ohio”, written right after Kent State.

Sad that it’s still necessary, but this song is equivalent, I think.

Plus ça change, plus ça meme chose.
