27.06.10 keep calm and carry on

I was wondering how people here would react to England’s elimination. Found people in the pub strangely philosophical about the whole thing, kept saying they didn’t deserve to win.

Dr Wank says: “That’s the brits for you: Keep Calm and Carry On (i.e., unless you’re actually AT a football game, in which case freak out and beat the shit out of everybody).”

18.01.10 new stupid ways to die

Okay, the world is now officially fucking insane. Car dashboards with integrated web browsers this year.

“Heading to Madison Square Garden for a basketball game? Pop down the touch pad, finger-scribble the word “Knicks” and get a Wikipedia entry on the arena, photos and reviews of nearby restaurants, and animations of the ways to get there.”

Can’t picture myself finger-writing “Knicks” on the dashboard while driving in NYC, without mentally killing a pedestrian and rear-ending a cab.

But don’t fret: these genuises have thought of everything. “A notice that pops up when the Audi system is turned on reads: ‘Please only use the online services when traffic conditions allow you to do so safely.’”

12.11.08 montée de lait électorale

Nous sommes en élection; donc, tel que le veut la tradition, je vous présente ma montée de lait électorale. Notez qu’elle est encore moins songée que la dernière, cher lecteur, mais je m’en crisse. C’est libérateur des fois de s’en crisser, et après tout, c’est une montée de lait. Relevée de bile.

Ceci dit, j’ai la forte impression cette saison, plus que d’habitude, de ne pas avoir de choix. Pour la première fois, je pense annuler mon vote, et ça m’attriste beaucoup. Mais que faire d’un choix qui se dessine ainsi ?

- Un parti qui, je le crains toujours, pourrait diluer ses énergies (et celles du peuple) à parler de « relancer le projet souverainiste » ou « régler la question nationale ». Cf

ma dernière montée de lait, d’après moi on a simplement des choses plus pressantes à régler. Je sais, ils ne feront pas de référendum au premier mandat, mais c’est la raison d’être du parti. Ça a l’avantage d’être clair, comme on dit, mais Non merci pareil.

- Un deuxième parti qui, depuis sa prise du pouvoir, n’a pas fait grand-chose pour régler les enjeux qui me tiennent à cœur (lisez la santé, les taxes, l’environnement et en grande primeur, l’éducation, Mme Courchesne). Je préférerais ne pas voter Libéral, ne fût-ce que parce que c’est sain de changer de gouvernement de temps en temps.

- Un troisième joueur qui représentait la dernière fois un espoir de choix, mais qui semble s’être effondré aussitôt que la dernière bulle électorale a crevé. Ce n’est pas la société québécoise qui est en quête d’identité, M. Dumont, c’est votre parti. Quelles véritables solutions avez-vous proposées aux enjeux ci-haut nommés?

Alors voilà : cette année, il n’y a pas de parti qui me donne le goût de participer.

I’ve been completely addicted to American political news since the beginning of the summer.

So many factors are converging to make this irresistibly addictive. The diverse cast of characters, the incredibly high stakes, the non-stop twists, from Palin’s Bristol bomb to the “suspension” of the McCain campaign last week. Then it occurred to me a couple of days ago: I’m actually following a reality show. It maybe be reality, not a show, but it doesn’t make it any less voyeuristic and trashy.

I’m totally mixing cosmopolitans and popping corn for Thursday’s VP debate.

Sarah Palin during her recent interview with Katie Couric:

” . . . where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh — it’s got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing, but 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.”

22.09.08 the smell of progress

Posted under: society, travel

Two weeks ago, upon arriving in Stockholm, I went for a walk, and within a very short time smelled something I hadn’t in a long time… The smell of Lepage, the glue our teachers insisted we use in primary school. It brought back memories, not of grade school, but of waiting for the bus in Sweden, when I lived there nine years ago.

Immediately, I remembered that in Sweden, you always smell the bus coming. Quickly, I turned around and sure enough, there was one of Stockholm’s fine, environment-friendly etanolbuss. I thought to myself, why is it that even small towns like Lund (where I lived) had these nine years ago, and we’re just talking about it?

Then, walking to work today, I smelled Lepage glue. Could it be? I asked, right before I saw written on a Montreal bus across the street, “Cet autobus roule au biodiesel”. How cool is that.

So, Montrealers, next time you think you smell Lepage glue, look out for the bus.

01.09.08 nauseating fact #2852 about sarah palin

Posted under: bile, society

From a May article in the Anchorage Daily News:

The State of Alaska will sue to challenge the recent listing of polar bears as a threatened species, Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday.

She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state’s northern and northwestern coasts. (…)

Climate models that predict continued loss of sea ice, the main habitat of polar bears, during summers are unreliable, Palin said.
