Woh. This is a seriously cool presidential candidate. What are the odds he gets elected? Huh. About what I figured. It’s a drag being cynical/realistic. I think I’ll allow myself a moment of hope that a guy like this could actually be given a position of power by the body politic.

A Song of Pain and Strangeness
Here’s the thing; writing songs is therapy, for me. Singing them is something else again, but the act of writing helps me to purge and understand my pain while synthesizing it into a vehicle for pleasure and truth. It’s a kind [...]

Here is how I see [...]

I watched the video of the Taser death of Robert Dziekanski and now I feel sick. These things cause obvious agony–writhing and screaming–and in way too many cases like this one, death. There have been 18 taser deaths in Canada since 2003. Why is this even allowed? This man was not being a threat; he [...]
