Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It has been said from time to time that we Canucks are among the world’s best when it comes to political satire, social commentary and documentaries that dare to explore topics deemed too bad-boy for prime time.

And I buy that. We can do satire and aren’t afraid to expose what needs exposin‘.

Probably has something to do with our tendency to self flagellate / deprecate or whatever…. in any case, we, by and large, don’t take ourselves too seriously.

But I just linked a site that I shoulda linked first and foremost: Doonesbury.

I have read Trudeau’s strip off and on since I was a teen. He’s an iconoclast a peacenik and a democrat who will one day be remembered in the same breathe as Mark Twain and Voltaire. Guaranteed.

He has tackled all of the hot button stuff and has done it admirably and with respect… and with humour.

With complete seriousness, I have to say that if I can ever reach a point in my life where I have said and shown a minuscule portion of the satirical talent that Mr. Trudeau has put forth over the decades, I can die a satirically satisfied man.

Thanks Gary.

Cedars Tour de Lance

Hi all:

I have never solicited funds for any cause whatsoever on this site, but that is ending now, and I hope you can help.

Cuz this is family.

Brian Millar is my wife's cousin whose health has been nuked by cancer. The guy was living the life - his life - as a 20-something, when this merciless disease hit him. And hit him hard.

Chemo. Radiation. He's been down all those roads and right now Brian is on a bit of a dip in that road. But it is one that we are all sure he will rise from.

Brian took this disease and said: "Look. I'm going to make this into something positive and raise a shitload of money so I can ride with Lance Armstrong in the name of cancer research."

Brave frickin' dudes, both of them. Lance conquered testicular cancer a while back and has become a general leading the war against this horrific monster of a disease. And Brian is still kicking back at the sonofabitch.

So, here's the "ask". Please go to the site and decide if this is worth a few bucks or even just posting this link on your site. Colleen (the Resident Love Goddess) and I we want to help and this is the best way I can right now.

Do what you can for Brian and his family. Because man, this is Hell for them. And if they can raise enough funds, maybe their Hell will be a little less painful.

Thanks,

Trashy.
