I want to like him, and do actually believe that he's not racist. But that's the worst, most incoherent, and fallacious bit of self-defence I've ever heard.

Mr. Individual Responsibility Libertarian published that cretinous garbage. And then gibbers that a) he was too busy to read his own paper;...

@keeinv The Pixies?! Not to be antagonistic, but Christ: you have to be fucking joking.

The Pixies were/are actually smart, hard, and unmannered. Unlike these schmucks, these cloying, drooling faux-naif nullities. They're straight out of Portlandia Central Casting. They make Belle and Sebastia...

If Phil Spector had produced hardcore, this would've been the result. So relentless, chaotic, and fucking hard. This is one of the only hardcore records that can still reliably give me the shivers. I've yet to hear anything that even approaches it.

@SiriusMined

Spot on. Dean was unelectable, natch, but I liked him (from Canada) for his passion and moral courage. It's astonishing that Republicans, simply by virtue of their energy, incivility, and lunacy, seem to have a lock on those qualities in the popular/media imagination.

Given your vo...

@MuscleJacker What a shitty thing to say. Why go to the bother of typing it? How awful your days must be.

Volman/Kaylan are going to the lake of fire for what they did to De La Soul and creative hip hop. Grasping pigs.

"Volman and Kaylan sued for $2.5 million, but reached an out-of-court settlement for $1.7 million. De La Soul paid $141,666.67 per second to the Turtles for a sliver of a long-forgott...

Love this song. But these two grasping assholes are going to hell for what they did to De La Soul.

What a depressing person. As an NDP voter, I cannot believe that so many people find this "inspiring". This is a Palin-esque level of political speech.

If Ms DePape had anything to say other than hyperbole and cliches about "resistance", her stunt might've been worth it. But she doesn't and it w...

Now THAT'S journalism.

I cannot believe how utterly fucked up your country is.

Poor, poor Serbs. Poor Mladic. There is nothing in the world more refreshing, less tiresome than Slavic self-pity.

Why can't the world recognize how saintly the actions at Srebrenica were? Mladic heroically defeated all Western notions of so-called "law", "rights" and "morality" in putting the t...

Lady Di? More like Lady LIE!!! ` heh heh

Argh. Gwynne's constant subjection of BNP blather to barrister-analysis is cretinous.

Meaning that (a) it only confirms what BNP opponents already know. And (b) it actually makes deranged BNP claims to victimhood more credible - its unjust silencing by "the forces of political correctness," etc....

Wow.

Way to take out PPACA: license plates, Acorn-association, & the strawman of the independent businessman "coerced" into paying for the healthcare costs he'd inevitably a) require the government provide or b) suffer/die because he can't afford it. This is the best you guys can do?

I live in C...

This will be unpopular, but there is SOMETHING in the Boer position. Malemba's racism, 3000 murders of white farmers, etc. Theroux's insistence that they're not a "people" ignores history - by that I mean pre-apartheid history. Would he argue the same in Quebec?

And Theroux's a prat. His interv...

Ugh. What an embarrassing flake, er, "social change addict".

World: this woman runs Canada's most profitable alternative tabloid in its biggest city, Toronto. It's an utterly toothless voice for the Left. No hard investigative reporting at all. Just lazy and cliched editorializing and terrific ...

Well said!

This sort of argument is why everyone, the world over, loves America, and will always love America. It's the sort of argument that illustrates why America has been so staggeringly successful in persuading everyone, the world over and forever, that the American Way is The Right Way. Th...

CHRIST.

I don't think it's "Dave/Pete" that this band has to worry about. Those vocals are terrifyingly off. However atonal, though, at least said mimic band proves its classiness in publicly burning their new guitarist's first performance.

The Who'd be right proud of you lads.

Disappointment ditto. This is a terribly monotonous song. It's made interesting only by the much drooled-over "intricate" drumming, which is nonetheless pretty garden-variety brush-work.

Ouch.

See Carl Wilson in Slate: "Pity the indie rock girlfriend."

"Just paste that in a new window...just take 0.25 seconds of it...and then paste 1.25 seconds of it, which is half of that, and paste the 0.25 seconds again." HOLY FUCK GO FOR IT MAN. It's like watching Gram Parsons, Springsteen, or The Band in their prime. Such passion, such creative ferment. Tr...

Wow. And yawn. Until this moment, I wouldn't have believed that someone could put together such a crashingly DULL, witless, and unoriginal "analysis" about what Detroit's become. Who'd have thought it would be some Internet blowhard gibbering about "leftists" and "bailouts" and "entitlement progr...

Look. Simply place the plant in St. Jamestown - 200 Wellesley St. E., say. There will be no NIMBY opposition, if for no other reason than the fact that the mothers in that area are too busy trying to feed their children to mount LICP-supported/Oakvillian "Won't someone please think of the childre...

@wywand Not me, actually. I didn't intend that to be a sneer. 1.4+ million eligible voters (2006 election) vs. 1,115 views.

Oh, the passion. Just look at him go. Look at him smash that acoustic guitar - like he didn't even care! Bringing The Kids together through the pure, changeless monotony of His Music. Yawn.

@Jeiaga What an incredibly fucked up comment. I suppose it's good that you, in some way, seem to like this really cool doc. Aren't you shamed, though, by the difference between how these colliers speak and how you respond? And especially in light of their convictions, their experience, their cou...

@kig132 Brilliant analysis! For surely there was no better way to secure a stable Western oil source than "engineering" a near-genocidal war between Iraq and Iran. A war whose outcome this entity called "The West" could not conceivably have controlled. You fanatical no-blood-for-oil types are no...

@shootfurfun Ouch. Canadians have their own problems, its astonishingly true. And it's a problem that's been handled relatively well of late. I'd like to hear you - or should I say "ya"? - tell me everything you know about it. Also wouldn't mind knowing how Quebec's ambiguous status in the Canad...
