Right-wing men rock, too!

October 29, 2009

Calgary Sun’s Ian Robinson was right when he said that right-wing women rocked, and then hilariously demonstrated that by exemplifying how they’re all career women, hitting the gym regularly, keeping their shoe collections sexy, maintaining hairless legs like responsible chicks should and running for public offices with grit and passion. It’s so true! Just ask my left-wing mom, who died choking on a soy burger while doing anything but running for MLA.

I only wish he had to time to get to those right-wing men: Those guys rock, too.

They’re hard working. They make sure that school science classes make facts optional. Demand that when a women conceives her rapist’s baby (and she, like, so deserved it, bro!) she doesn’t get a second chance at reclaiming her womb.

And those lefty gays? Better start preparing your divorce papers, boys. When right-wing guy is done lobbying his MP, those marriages aren’t just getting annulled, they’re getting super-annulled.

When he wants to relax, he doesn’t grab a doobie like some kufi-wearing dope. Right-wing guy is smoking a cigarette, ensuring that a corporation has equal opportunity to profit off the deaths of millions.

And in his off time, he’s checking his son’s drawers for a joint so he has a reason to beat the crap out of him. “Spare that rod, spoil the child!” — just Mr. Right Wing said himself.

Left-wing guy, that fruit is probably riding his bike to the local alternative video store to hoard every Jim Jarmusch “film” he can. Right-wing guy is across the street, at Blockbuster, renting Steven Seagal’s Cockpuncher!

And right-wing guy totally racks up tons of late fees ’cause he don’t answer to nobody.

Left-wing guy reads the fancy pants Globe and Mail, right-wing guy reads everything else. (And by read, I mean he flips to the editorial section, looks for his name, jumps to the Sunshine Girl page: “OK, not my daughter — all is fine, now objectify the brains out of her!”)

I friggin’ love these guys — so much virility.

While stupid lefty guy is getting anonymous you-know-whats at the local “bath house” and driving his turtle-looking electric car (which still needs some sort of energy-draining fuel, right?) home to his listless “common law” wife — at home, where she’s been all day, just listening to Sarah McLachlan on her “portable” mp3 “player” — the totally awesome right-wing guy is at the gun show looking for a new “Gretchen” to protect his promise-ring-wearing right-wing daughter, who, by the way, is statistically more likely to have anal intercourse, be a pregnant teenager or contract STDs.

Stereotypes rule!

Tomorrow on Skeptically Speaking

October 15, 2009

Make sure you tune in to Skeptically Speaking, 6 pm (MST) on 88.5 FM in Edmonton. I will be speaking about bringing skepticism into the mainstream, and a host of other topics with Greg “no bin” Laden. Also, I’ll be performing live a new song from my upcoming album, called “Still Stupid.”

Rapper updates

October 8, 2009

You know how sometimes I forget that I rap and then every once in a while I have a reawakening, followed by a renaissance of rapping? I think that’s coming over me again.

I am writing lots of new raps, gathering beats and awaiting the funds to get back in the lab. I hope to have a new album out next summer. No title. No theme. But unless I get dumped and fired tomorrow, it will be a lot more lighthearted — because life is good.

That said, I did spill $10 of mixed nuts all over my dirty kitchen floor. It was like a war zone. (Wait, is a war zone one of those trivial obstacles you hop right over? No? Sorry. It was nothing like a war zone.)

SHOWS

  • October 30 – Eddie Shorts in Edmonton (10713 124 St). Night of the Living Bassheadz release party. Bassheadz are releasing their new album, Audio Revolver, and it’s f’ing hype. I’m on a song with them and Hotep, “Modern Day Slave,” so I will be performing that song with them, but not doing a set. Come for a good costume party with prizes. I will be the rapper looking most like Super Mario.
  • November 7 – Likwid Lounge in Edmonton (10081 Jasper Ave). AOK, The Joe, Zebra Circle and Brother Voodoo. Very diverse set and crowd.
  • December 12 November 18 - Widewater Alberta. Opening up for Swollen Members. See Facebook.

Also, did you see my interview in UGSmag.com? Read the most hated on Q&A yet. And remember: Never criticize rap! Rappers with RAP shirts will rap angry responses.

I also found myself in a radio documentary by Ira Lee, titled The Global Revolution of Canadian Hip Hop Culture and Music.

And on a non-rap topic, I was interviewed on the much-heard CJSR call-in science show, Skeptically Speaking to talk about my new article in Avenue magazine, Ghost Busters, in which I debunk the legend of the ghost at Fort Edmonton Park’s Firkins Home.

And here’s a picture of my new house, which has consumed the last month of my life:
