Saudi Arabia: How a Real Monarchy Rolls

Sunday 24.2011

If Kate Middleton’s ascension to the official but ridiculous status of princess consort gives us the glitz and sparkle of monarchy, then Saudi Arabia’s recent invasion of Bahrain is the reminder that the crown will stamp a few faces if it needs to. Between being enwrapped by the Kingdom of Saudi ...

The Suburbizoids, Ford Nation—Part II

Wednesday 13.2011

"The millionaire populism of the Rob Ford variety is only successful if a mass-psychology can be masterfully kneaded into the embittered and the ill-educated.

City workers have had their rights revoked because they could potentially do what the Mayor actually did—cost the Toronto $50 million in lost revenue in one day.

What would a one-eyed samurai do?

Thursday 17.2011

On March 11 at 14 minutes to 3PM local time, the Earth released a mighty 8.9 magnitude belch 24 kilometers beneath the Pacific Ocean surface and 128 kilometers off the coast of Sendai, Japan. A rampageous and unforgiving wall of salt water accumulated and accelerated towards land. The dead are ...

When the Saints Go Marshing In…

Tuesday 15.2011

It is unsettlingly ironic that some of the Iraq anti-war movement simultaneously proclaim themselves champions of environmental causes. This faction should have been the first to call for regime change. Saddam Hussein was guilty of deliberate ecocide on a grand scale. In 1991, to pay for his decade long war with ...
