Well, the day has come; I must uproot this blog. Livejournal has been a decent host, but their setup is clunky and I am not a fan, therefor, as of right now this blog is moved to blogspot. The new site is http://moopthas.blogspot.com. I hope to see all one of you there (not a typo).

The phenomenon of "reasonable accomadation" has hit this city hard and fast; there are very few people who haven't had a conversation on the topic already and even fewer who've found anyone who thinks exactly as they do on the matter (I am intentionally leaving out the Rest of Quebec and the Rest of Canada).

Two thousand and six, Anno Domini or Common Era, depending on who you ask, was very, very long. This time last year I was preparing my return to night-classes at Dawson College, unsure of anything related to my future and knowing only one thing - I needed to WRITE. Since then, I've passed two semesters spectacularly, written over twenty-thousand ( Read more... )

I would like to open this up with a message to my fellow Canadians who may have chosen to vote for Harper - there're a good deal of you, fourty percent of voters, apparently; Fuck you. Fuck you right to hell. Stephen Harper's band of merry-fascists have been cozying up to the massed moronic lot of you and you just had to give him the reach around ( Read more... )

So André Boisclair is the province's next Premier. Well, not yet, all he won was the PQ leadership race, we won't have provincial elections for another two to three years. However, Charest's fans are few and far between and the ADQ is broke. The PQ is the only party left in Québec with enough money and support to actually run a succesful election ( Read more... )

I've been thoroughly engrossed in the writing of my newest project of late and haven't had time to fill my ultra-radical psychotic paranoia collumn of late, though I (semi)promise something before week's end ( Read more... )
