"The proof is the proof and when you have a good proof it's proven." Wow. Jean Chretien speaking on whether or not we should oust Hussein. Is it any wonder I'm pissed. WTF does that EVEN MEAN?? This is so embarrassing. Get the fuckin' marbles outta your mouth! We've got TWO official languages. Pick ONE! I'm MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE! We NEED A NEW GOVERNMENT, WE NEED TO BECOME A REPUBLIC, WE NEED TO DESTROY IRAQ! When are people gonna learn? Why am I living in the twilight zone? Am I the only one who worries about the future of this backwater country? We used to be a great nation that commanded respect. Now we're a bunch of asshat bureaucrats filling out forms. What happened to the Canada that landed at Dieppe and Juno Beach? What happened to the Canada that fought through France right to Germany? What happened to the Canada that developed the Avro Arrow? Obituary: Canada: Once great nation that fought for freedom, had the world's third largest navy, once a hotbed of innovation. Died quietly in its bed Sunday night of apathy.
Halloween! What a mess! I can't stand Halloween. I blame it on the fact that I hate anyone under forty. Stupid snot-nosed little punks looking for free candy. When I was their age I went door to door too but I was begging for scraps of bread and cigarettes to feed my eight brothers and nine sisters. I only ate candy once a year at Christmas. My mother would gather us all up and we would go down to the corner and she would steal us a chocolate bar to split between us all. Anyway, these little asscans make me wanna wretch. Dressing up in nancy boy costumes when they should all be out looking for a job or learning how to drill. And after they eat all that candy they go back to school and then watch out! Those mule faced corncobs start jumping off the walls like monkey-eyed assnuggets. Every year at the Bitterman household the neighbourhood kids can look forward to my German Shepard tied out front. I got 'Schwartz' offn' a Nazi I bagged at Bastogne. He's getting on in years but he's still a great dog and does a good job of keeping little kids from nosing around my petunia patch. Sometimes I like to turn on all the lights so the kids think maybe I'll hand out some candy or something. By the time they hit my front door though Schwartz is all over them like a bat outta hell. Haha. That's always good for a few belly laughs from old Gunny. Stupid kids.
I was reading my local rag today and I came across this
editorial: "Grade 12 treated unfairly. I think the Ontario
government has placed Grade 12 students in an unfair situation. As one of
those taking the 'new' curriculum, I'll be competing for a space in already
cramped universities, against people who have had one more year to achieve the
best marks possible. By cutting a year out of our education but not
lowering the entrance standards to universities, the government has forced us to
really focus our educational direction. In my case, I must take two
university-level maths and two university-level sciences all in one year (among
other courses.) Not only is my year cramped, but I don't have the liberty
of taking courses I really enjoy, like music. So Ontario, where's the
justice?" BOOHOO!! Cry me a fuckin' river! You spoiled little
shit! You're lucky you're even allowed to go to school at all. There
are millions of kids all over the world who have to work in sweatshops and will
never go to school or even own a pencil! Look at me! Before I made
Gunnery Sgt. back when I was 12, I had to work in a coal mine so I could earn
enough money to bail my father out of jail. He was sentenced to 50 years
for stealing a loaf of bread so he could feed my pregnant mother. I
lost all ten toes from frostbite down in that hell hole. I never
went to no damned school. Shut your filthy sewer you fat fuck! WHAA!
"I'm in an unfair situation! I have to compete to get into University!"
What's new about that? Then this peter puffer wants the government to
lower the standards so he'll have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting in.
And hey! Check this out everyone! He's got to take 4
University level courses in ONE YEAR! Hey Private Snowball, I've got news
for you: while in University you'll be taking LOTS of University level
courses in one year! What else do you have to do? It makes me sick
to think that kids younger than you died on the beaches of Normandy. And
look how far we've come. A bunch of whiny bitches. So you had best
unfuck yourself before I unscrew your head and shit down your neck! How's
that for justice, jackass??
Why is French an official language in Canada? Does a guy living in Winnipeg really give a flying fuck that Captain Crunch is Capitane Crouche in French? Does he need that information? Does a guy living in Medicine Hat need to know that Lucky Charms are called Du Charmes Lucki? No. Of course he fucking doesn't! So why is there a law saying it has to be that way? Sweet merciful fuck! There are more people who speak Spanish in the States than there are Canadians but you don't see two official languages there! But you do see lots of Spanish signage WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE! If you're in New York and you're in a government office you'll probably see some Spanish signs. Why? Because there are a lot of Spanish speaking people there who need to know where the bathroom is. If you're down in Backwater, Alabama you won't see any Spanish signs because they're not needed. But fuck me if I've ever seen, heard or smelled a Frenchie around these parts. You wouldn't know it though because everywhere you look: French. There are even French highway signs. All that tax money spent on signs just so the one fancyboy Frenchman who wanders over this way on his vacation to Hamilton, Ontario will be sure to know that North is really 'Nord'. If there wasn't a sign then *how the fuck* would he ever find his way? He'd be lost *forever*! He might as well get out of his car and shoot himself in the head because that's how much chance he has of ever finding his way in the nightmare world of English only. Hey you stupid surrender monkeys, here's a tip: The whole world--the part that matters anyway--speaks English now. Get on board.
9/17/02. Arg! Why do we use metric in Canada? We should be using the Imperial system. Sometimes I just can't figure out this nancypants excuse for a country. Our mother country uses Imperial and so does our most important ally which also happens to be the richest and most advanced country on earth. So why are we playing all Eurotrash and using metric? The States put a man on the motherfuckin' moon using inches and feet and that's good enough for me! Let's face it, Imperial has won. Nobody likes metric. It just hasn't caught on. All these kids are taught it in class but ask them how tall they are or what they weigh and they'll give you an answer in feet and pounds. I don't go to the grocery store and ask for 250 microlitres of meat or whatever the fuck it is. I want pounds! Pounds baby! I bench 400 not 65.246 decabots. How far is Toronto? It's about 40 miles. Not .234 megapixels. I can't stand this. Come on government, take a good look around. Everyone is using Imperial everyday. When I go buy some paper I buy 8 1/2 by 11. I order photos in inches too. I can't think of a single real life instance I use metric other than maybe buying gas and that's because I have no choice. A gallon of milk. A pound of butter. A pint of ice cream. A quart of cream. A foot long hot dog. First down is 10 yards. Bah. If it ain't broke don't fix it. But I live in Canada where the motto of the government is: If it ain't broke fix it until it is.

9/12/02. Old Gunny is pissed and he's not gonna take it anymore! Twisted Sister was right: Fuck all a' yall! I was down at the bar the other night and had a bit too much to drink. Some assclown said that the States never landed no moon saucer on the moon. Well I didn't like that too much and I punched that scrawny geek right in his withered old melon. Stupid nancyboy. Sadly, I broke my fingers on that rich momma's boy's Armani glasses. I went down to see old Doc Jones and I had to wait in a line. Then I had to get my card out and register. I was never one too much for letters and readin' and it took me damn well 20 minutes to fill out that goddamned form. Then I had to wait in a room with a bunch of sick fancies. Finally I got to wait in another, *different* room for the doctor. Why am I paying 50 percent of my income to this commie government to provide me a health system that SUCKS SHIT? Please privatize this mess and send me the bill. In the States you're treated like the customer you are and you get what you want. Here they make you feel guilty if you go the the emergency room with chest pains because you're "burdening the system." The system I'M PAYING FOR YOU STUPID FUCK! I told that Doctor that I'm *his* boss and he better get the corn cobs outta his ears and listen to me! What a hassle!! I didn't have that much trouble getting medical help up on Omaha Beach when I nearly had my leg blown clear off. It was hanging by a string but the medics we had were the best. They patched me up with some bubblegum and a coat hanger and I made it up that goddamned beach and took those Krauts by surprise. Those fairy Krauts thought they nailed ol' Gunny but no siree. It'd take more than a near amputation and severe blood loss to stop me! By the way, to that guy I disfigured at the bar, the States did land on the moon. I saw it with my own eye (one's glass courtesy Fritz) on that there moving picture box. Open up your damned eyes you fool and take a look around. Oh, and you're gay.
9/2/02. Straight from the CIA Factbook. This is just in support of what Chess was saying earlier. I've gotten complaints that "the monarchy is just a figurehead." Really? Check out what it says under "elections." This is real. Why aren't Canadians more upset about this? Canada needs to become a republic TODAY!
| Executive branch: | chief of state:
Queen ELIZABETH II (since 6 February 1952), represented by Governor General
Adrienne CLARKSON (since 7 October 1999) head of government: Prime Minister Jean CHRETIEN (since 4 November 1993) cabinet: Federal Ministry chosen by the prime minister from among the members of his own party sitting in Parliament elections: none; the monarch is hereditary; governor general appointed by the monarch on the advice of the prime minister for a five-year term; following legislative elections, the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons is automatically designated by the governor general to become prime minister |
9/2/02. Old Gunny likes to "surf" the Internet as much as the next red-blooded American. But really the only reason it's called "surfing" is so all these white doughballs sitting in front of their computers won't feel so bad that they're doing jack squat with themselves other than feeling their asses grow. Anyway I use a cable modem because Gunny hates to wait. The Internet on cable ain't cheap either. Gunny lives on a pitiful Veteran's pension but I need to see the pretty ladies. Don't even get me started on my pension. I've been shot at and near enough died trying to make sure all you snotty kids still get to hang out at the mall doing shit all. But what I can't stand is when my internet service goes down which it does often. It's down right now. It's not that it goes down that makes Gunny so angry but why should someone have to pay for the days when there is no Internet? I've had it go down for an entire half day once. Once right in the middle of a $100 download. When I got the bill though I had to pay for that day too. Why? These eggheads up in Washington should do something about this. Gunny says you should only pay for the service as long as it's up. But no, Gunny "doesn't know what he's talking about." Old people "don't understand the Internet". Gunny has a "restraining order against him preventing him from entering the cable company's office." And when you call up the cable compant for service you get the standard reply about not being able to come down there for 10 days or you can wait at home between 9 and 5 or whatever. Dammit. I want action now!
9/1/02. What the fuck? I remember reading a while back about how the Canadian government was upset because the Amercian government declared someone other than Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone. Well I'm not even going to argue that because it's probably true. Back then it was the guy who got to the Patent Office first. But what gets my goat is the Canadian government. What's their major malfunction? Bunch of bacon-eating blouse wearers. Are they trying to say that the telephone is a Canadian invention? What you say? How is something invented by a SCOT while living in BOSTON a Canadian invention? Oh. Right. Bell did later move to Brantford so I guess the telephone is Canadian? Stupid of me. But then again this is the same government that claims basketball as a Canadian invention. Invented in Springfield, Mass. by a Canadian. Well you can't have it both ways you queers. For an invention to qualify as Canadian either its invented by a Canadian somewhere else or its invented in Canada by someone other than a Canadian. Choose. Basketball or the telephone? Oh and by the way, the Canadarm? That's not an "invention". I saw this listed in an article about the top Canadian inventions. It's a fucking robot arm! They've been around for years! You didn't invent robotics! And anyone could have built that! It's something you BUILT not INVENTED! Get a clue you stupid Canucks!
8/22/02. Ugh. Kids today. I can't even walk down the goddamn street anymore without hearing that shitty music they play. All these whining sissified girl-boys singing about God knows what. I tell ya I'd like to smack some sense into them. I haven't bought a record since Frank died. When he died that was it for music. Now we got the likes of that snot-nosed Eminem character. Boy I'd like to smack that kid. He's not worthy to clean the skidmarks outta Frank's tightie whities. Lucky for me I still got all my old 45s and 78s. The last time I went record shopping I thought I was in a goddamn porno store with all those teenagers on the covers wearing practically nothing. I guess they gotta do what they gotta do because they sure as hell can't sing worth a rat's ass. Not like old Frankie. No way. And him and Dean could drink all these annoying pukes under the table. And what the hell was that I was listening to in the store anyway? Some fancyboy periwinkle was going on about bitches and hos and how he "jacked" some pimp or something. Why don't the cops find that guy and arrest him? Lazy cops. Anyway I'd like to see what that guy woulda done on Omaha beach. I guarantee his pants woulda filled with shit faster than the lone outhouse at the County Fair after the bean eating contest. Anyway I went to the counter to ask the clerk for a Frankie record and she looked at me like I was speaking some kinda weird moon man language. Not only had she not heard of Frankie but she didn't even know what a record was. Well, I straightened her out. I straightened her out with a boot to the spine. I got away before the cops showed up but I'm probably banned from that store for awhile.
8/21/02. Can't the government do something about this goddamned heat? I don't understand why the hell it has to be so hot in the city. We've been to the moon but these college-bred sparkplugs can't do a thing about the sun baking my ass day in day out. I haven't experienced heat like this since I was pinned down by the Kraut artillery back in '42. Why can't these pork-fed politicians we elect take some of our hard-earned tax money and set up some kind of plexiglass dome or city-wide sprinkler system? But if they decide on the dome I better not find that skank Pauly Shore in it. Did you see that awful Biodome film? After the first 5 minutes I walked out for a refund and wouldn't leave the theater until I got it. Well that and the cops showed up. I served this country and took two bullets in my ass and yet I'm still force fed shit from the Hollywood crap factory. Back in my day we had real stars like Gregory Peck and Lee Marvin. Me and Marvin actually landed at Red Beach together and fought our way halfway up Suribachi. The only thing Pauly Shore has ever fought for was air while I was heaving kicks into his chest with my steel toed combat boots. Anyway, lissen up you philandering ass nugget politicians: Get off your asses and get some work done for a change.
8/21/02. Hey all you jerkbots and assclowns. I'm taking over this column because I'm sick and tired of you damned nancyboys prancing around this page like you owned it. Well lissen up! Ahmina set this page right! I've hauled my ass through WWII, Korea and 'Nam! All while you college-fed, tree-kissin' hippies were dancing around smoking the crazy weed drug. That's what this country so desperately needs. Another war to weed out all you doughy xboxers. When I was sixteen I lied about my age to join the Marine corps. Normally my 303 does my talking but for now I'll have to settle with this fairy boy blue page. Hey, I've got a joke for you: What's orange, yellow and red and looks good on a hippie? Fire!
What is a Canadian?
A Canadian is someone who drinks Brazilian coffee from an English teacup and
munches a French pastry while sitting on their Danish furniture having just come
home from an Italian movie in their German car.
He/She picks up their Japanese pen and writes to their Member of Parliament to
complain about the American take-over of the Canadian publishing business.
Hey I know there's a lot of Canadian bashing on this page but, believe it or not, I'm a patriot and love Canada. More than you do you commie. I care enough to write all this stuff down to let people know that this was *once* a *great* nation. We were powerful and had conviction and would stand up for the little guy. Now we're just a bunch of noodle-armed choir boys prancing around talking about rights this and rights that. But no one wants to fight for them. They'd rather let the US pay for our defence while we throw our money away on the Canoe Hall of Fame. Our vets can't afford to bury themselves and have to hold bake sales to raise the money, yet our government builds this shite? Screw off. Well I want the old Canada back. And this is the only way I know to do it.
8/19/02. One thing a Canadian will always tell you is that Canada is the only country to have beaten America on its own soil. Ah, the War of 1812. S'funny, because I coulda sworn that confederation occurred 1867. There was no Canada in 1812 you morons! This was a British colony and it was the British who were fighting the Americans. 'Sides, everyone knows the Americans won the war. As a Second War of Independence, the Americans were just looking for a way to tell the Brits that the Revolution was real, it happened, and you better start respecting America. After 1812, the Brits never bothered the Yanks again. Victory for the Yanks. And please Canada. If all you have to be proud of is something that happened almost *200* years ago...I don't even know how to finish that sentence. This one little insignificant war between the British and the Americans and somehow the Canadians equal it to landing a man on the moon. Canada, where the women are women and the men are women. If anything, Britain is Canada's enemy. Thanks for the leaky subs jerks!
8/19/02. All you hippies driving around in your VW bugs or those stupid VW vans: You look like idiots! You stupid morons. You put peace stickers and crap all over them not realizing you're driving around in the HITLERMOBILE!! You assclowns! Do you have any sense of history at all? Hitler commissioned the design and production of the VW. There are Jews alive today who were forced to build them. Do you hear what I'm saying? VW used slave labour to build them and you're driving around with a stupid flower in the dashboard vase. Wake up!
8/11/01 War. What is it good for? Lots of stuff actually. The internet, computers, the space program, jets, jeeps, silly putty, cell phones and satellites, just off the top of my head. All things that came out of wartime research and development. The most important result of war? Your fucking freedom. Shut the fuck up all you campus-prancing hippies. Everything you have was given to you by somebody else. And most of those somebody else's died trying to give it to you. Everyday you should be on your hands and knees thanking God above for the Greatest Generation. If only Patton were alive today. He wouldn't let your ad-busting asses off with just a water cannon. And don't give me "There are always alternatives to war." How simple are you? Tell that to the Blacks enslaved in the South prior to the American Civil War. Tell that to survivors of the Holocaust. Tell that to the people who didn't catch the last ride out of Saigon. Tell that to the women of Afghanistan who just wanted their jobs back. Tell that to Eastern Europeans forced to live under Communism for fifty years. Just don't tell it to me.
8/10/01. It's hard not to have heard about all the "corporate scandal" in the news lately. Mostly from liberals who love big government and can't wait to see more regulation to try and reign in *everyone's* arch-enemy; capitalism. Best. Economic system. Ever. What escapes our flamingo friends is this: At least in the corporate world people are arrested when it's found out that they misappropriated funds! A string of CEOs being escorted out of their office buildings in handcuffs. Cheats are not appreciated by capitalists. So, they're weeded out and sent to *prison*!! Imagine, someone steals someone else's money and they go to jail! Funny how this happens everyday in our bloated government and yet nothing is done about it. Wouldn't it be refreshing to see a bureaucrat taken away to jail? A public servant "loses" a million or two? Nothing happens. Backroom deals with party supporters involving phony contracts? No-one is to blame. It's the strangest thing because I could have sworn that *that's *my* money!!* The government doesn't have any money! They don't produce anything and then sell it and make a profit. The citizens agree to pool *their* money with them and then spend it in certain ways. That's it. If I had a bunch of buddies and we all agreed to chip in a buy a big screen TV and they come back with a small TV and some magic beans I wouldn't give them my money anymore. Unfortunately, with the government you can't "opt out". There's no way to get off their mailing list.
I hear a lot about "government surplus" as well. Impossible. It can't exist. Again, it's not like they *earned* more than they thought they would. The only thing that happened there was they collected more in tax then they previously expected. Hell, why not just project that next year they'll collect $1000. Then there will be a healthy "surplus" for them to blow on favors for all their friends. And of course the government invariably starts to figure out how to spend such a surplus. Why don't they just hold onto it until next year? I didn't give them permission to start spending it! What really makes me sick is to watch liberal fatcat lobbyists trying to get their hands on it. As if they're entitled to it. Why, why, why doesn't a tax return form come with a checklist? Everyone would pay a flat rate for essential services. Then you could check off anything else you wanted to support with your tax dollars? If you didn't want your tax money going to the environment or whining college students, don't check it off. That's democracy. But sadly I don't live in a democracy. I live in a socialist constitutional monarchy. I live in Canada.
There's an easy solution to all the problems with the government in Canada: become a republic. It's the year 2002. Don't you think that it's pretty late in the day to be living under a monarchy? Think of it. The Queen of Canada. Why? Quick! Name another nation on earth whose *head of state* is a *foreign national*!! This is pure insanity. What kind of country is it where you can't even vote for the prime minister? We have to vote for the party. Don't you see the danger inherent? Suppose I vote for Party X and their current leader is just exceptional. Well, a month later the party can turn around, kick out the leader and install a new one. Whammo Bammo, new prime minister. It could be Hitler and wouldn't matter under this system. This is nonsense. I want to vote for a president! Oh, don't give me all that nonsense about how the Queen is only a figurehead. She isn't. She *is* our head of state. If you don't believe me then why does the Governor General meet all visiting heads of state *before* the prime minister? Because, as the Queens' representative in Canada she holds more power than the prime minister. And of course you know her signature is required on every bill before it becomes law. Yeah I know. She'd never not sign. That's not the point. Well, in a way it might be. We don't need her and we don't need England. That's why America is such a great nation. They went out on their own early in the game. And now look where they are. We're still in the cradle too afraid to stand up.
8/08/02 Topic: "The Americans"
The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the world.
As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. Well, Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did, that's who.
They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there. I saw that.
When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan... the Truman Policy... all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.
I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.
Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or a women on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are right here on our streets in Toronto, most of them... unless they are breaking Canadian laws... are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.
When the Americans get out of this bind... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the bonds, let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both of them are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.
Can you name to me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.
I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.
This year's disasters... with the year less than half-over... has taken it all and nobody... but nobody... has helped. Gordon Sinclair. A Canadian. 1973.
