Anonymous asked: hiya, just to say that I really enjoy listening to your strange, random yet hilarious podcasts! I actually stumbled on this when I was searching for music on itunes by classical/epic trailer score maker, '2 steps from hell'... that's when I found your podcast purely by chance! Well, it gave me a good laugh, so thanks for that! I don't really have a question just a rambling...

Tyranny By Minority: The Disgraceful History of...
As a leftist, I was one of many Canadians disenchanted that Conservatives now control Parliament despite winning well less than half the support of Canadian voters. I was aware that this was nothing new for Canada, but after consulting our electoral history, I now know I had no idea how undemocratic our system is. Canada has had 28 majority governments, but only 6 of them won 50% of votes. On...

Proposal For Electoral Reform In Canadam
On Monday, Canadians elected Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his Conservative party to a majority government. The Tories won in 167 ridings, more than enough for a majority, but only received 39.6% of the popular vote, which most Canadians feel should not qualify for majority and only does because of an archaic electoral system. Conservatives received 5.8 million votes, totalling only 24.3% of...

The Beginning of the End For Bettman? Do Not Hold...
His face twitches when he speaks because he cannot stand the sound of his ludicrous bullshit. He has trouble making eye contact with people interviewing him because he is pathologically incapable of honesty. His unpopularity is virtually unanimous amongst NHL fans. The team owners - whose status as his boss is decidedly inconvenient for anyone who gives a fart about the sport - seem to love him...
Malicious Intent
Nearing the end of the second period, the home team leads the visitors 4-0. The visitors’ top defenseman, one of the best in the league and the largest player in NHL history, lines up a hit against a winger that embarrassed him in a match earlier this season by scoring an overtime goal in the big man’s face and shoving him post-play, sending the giant into a rage. The winger chips...

2010 - My Top Fifteen Films
The Oscars award ceremony will occur this evening, and though I concur with virtually every possible criticism one could make of it, I love it. It’s my Super Bowl (well, that may be a bad analogy because I actually enjoy the Super Bowl quite a bit as well, but you get the idea). I still have not yet seen many notable films from 2010, so this list is incomplete and may require revision at a...

Top 50 Statistical Passing Performances In Super...
I’m offering no analysis here, so I’ve carefully avoided labeling any of these performances “the best.” These are the best statistical passing performances in Super Bowl history. Rushing stats mean nothing here, nor do late-game heroics. The statistics I’ve taken into account are attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, interceptions, completions per attempt,...

39 Steps From Hell - Season 2, Episode 3 →
The glorious podcast debut of Toronto-based band BABE, the second coming of Christ, some rude diners provide a vehicle for Mike to use accents to unsuccessfully hide the fact that all of his voices sound exactly alike. Mike says “800 metres” when he means “80 metres,” at one point, and at another, forgets how to operate his microphone without affecting the recording...

Rewriting History: Huck Finn Goes PC
This year, NewSouth Books will publish Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with some editorial changes. The word slave will replace nigger and injun will also disappear. Mark Twain scholar Alan Gribben apparently led the charge to alter Twain’s masterpiece, on the grounds that the change would better express Twain’s ideas in the 21st century, and that the new version would be more...

Chickens Come Home To Roost: Tragedy In Tuscon and...
By now, you have probably heard all about the tragedy that occurred this weekend in Tuscon (if not, read this). Immediately after the news broke, Internet users (myself included) exploded with angry blame directed mostly towards Sarah Palin (I believe I tweeted at her something along the lines of “I hope you’re happy, you stupid, heartless cunt”), and some other radical...
