Only in Canada, you say? When it comes to politics, Canada has its own twist on turning the little wheels of democracy, with a never-ending stream of entitlement, corruption, ignorance, and outright incompetence that is only rivaled by how politely we Canadians accept it all. Mister Speaker asks the questions that aren't being asked, pokes fun at the politicians who haven't been poked enough, and endeavors to give the parliamentary establishment a very un-Canadian kick in the ass. It's a cry for sanity in the Canadian political wilderness, with just enough humour to keep me from getting arrested.
Now appearing on...
 
 Bringing a civilian's view and a critical wit to the realm of military commentary, Nickerson Rants takes aim at the powers that be with a wary eye and a sharp word for politicians' motives and their penchant for survival over substance...A monthly feature in Esprit de Corps magazine that I invite you to explore on their site
(just come back here when you're done).
No Quarter is to satire what a Remington 308 bolt-action is to squirrel hunting. If it's in the news, it's in my sights. If it's foolish, stupid, hypocritical, or downright dangerous, then it's fair game. Sometimes biting, occasionally cruel, and always insightful, No Quarter pulls no punches and will use any and all means to point out the stupidity of the day. They were asking for it, and no quarter is ever given.
Yes, even a cranky curmudgeon like me can be just plain silly now and then, and Funny Bone is where you'll see it. It's flippant, it's fun, and it's an excellent source of fibre...though beer is better for that, and I recommend it highly. If you're looking for a smile or the latest insights into the state of existentialism as seen through a cloud of nitrous oxide, give Funny Bone a try...unless you're in the middle of sex. Funny Bone is not better than sex.
