  • BBM radio ratings out. Various stns saying “We’re #1” kinda like me saying “I’m #1 cyclist” w/o “among stocky 35 y.o. bearded dads” #context #

  • CDN Taxpayer’s Fed wants to scrap the U-Pass. What a stupid, backward, environmentally irresponsible idea. Transit +71% to UBC since U-Pass. #
  • The stupid, it burns. Idiot commenters on #CBC U-Pass story blame Campbell gov’t. U-Pass at UBC passed *3* student referendums. #
  • I am so sick and tired at dumbasses blaming the gov’t for every thing they think is “wrong” in their little bubble. Knee-jerk stupidity. #
  • Trolley wires down at Broadway and Granville causes chaos on bus as 99 skips stop at Granville #
  • The really stupid thing about the CTF calling for scrapping the U-Pass program? I’m pretty sure the prog receives no direct gov’t funding #
  • RT @gamingwithbaby: And California continues to prove itself every bit as ignorant as Alabama. [Gay marriage ban upheld in Cali. Huh?] #
  • RT @yoyomama_van: RT @BobsandLolo: Setting the bar for children’s festival promotions – http://bit.ly/y8Ok4 [Oh, this is *awesome*] #
  • Good comments on the CTF blog re: U-Pass. Don’t understand why the CTF has their knickers all a-twist: http://is.gd/FrYY #
  • Poll on latest Cons attack ads: 30% have inc neg feelings for Iggy, 50% have inc neg feelings for Harper. http://is.gd/FsjE #AttackAdsSuck #
  • Canadian Finance Minister now says Canada’s deficit will be more like $50B+. This year. Sweet Jesus, can we toss these guys now? #
  • After wrecking the Ontario economy, Jim Flaherty looks well on his way to making it two for two. #TheStupidItBurns #
  • Dear Jim Flaherty: You were wrong about about the size of the deficit, why should we believe you about “short-term”? #AsleepAtTheHelm #
  • When your empl stock price rises do you complain that you’re taxed based on cheaper value? No? Then don’t complain when the opp. is true! #
  • RT @KenHardie: By the way, the CBC story was mostly bogus…35 U-Pass sellers out of a population of over 60,000 is not a ‘massive fraud.’ #
  • RT @BreakingNews: BULLETIN — NORTH KOREA CALLS SOUTH KOREAN DECISION TO JOIN ANTI-PROLIFERATION PROGRAM A DECLARATION OF WAR. [Ah shit] #
  • RT @BreakingNews: BULLETIN — NORTH KOREA SAYS IT WILL “USE ITS MILITARY” TO RESPOND TO SOUTH KOREAN DECISION. [Aw SHIT] #
  • RT @BreakingNews: North Korea has abandoned the Korean War armistice, a cease-fire which was established on July 27, 1953 – Yonhap. #
  • I don’t understand this North Korea thing. They have no allies and have essentially declared war against S Korea. And by extension, Jap + US #
  • China and Russia won’t support them either. This can’t end well for N Korea. What’s the point? #northkorea #
  • RT @BobsandLolo: Pls help spread the word about the Surrey Children’s Fest Tix still available for Thurs + Sat shows – http://tiny.cc/rFPJh #
