Four In The Afternoon: Courts, Morons, Deportations, Goonery

4 in the Afternoon1 JUDGE TALK Canada’s Supreme Court orders a re-write of the country’s wiretap law, Quebec’s long-gun registry data is safe until at least June and cookies are now a legal medical marijuana delivery system in B.C.

2 ONE PERCENTAGE POINT That’s the difference between NDP and Conservative support right now. And yet, majority government.

3 REPUBLICANS SUCK MONKEY BUTT Arizona’s governor signs a bill that says life starts before conception. It’s not ignorant science as much as a sleazy bureaucratic maneuver to start the state’s bullshit abortion cut-off clock earlier as part of the ongoing Republican Party/right-wing Christian attack against women’s reproductive rights. Meanwhile, federal Republicans say they’re the party that sticks up for women. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, no they’re not.

4 DEPORTED FOR QUESTIONING Canada is sending an Ottawa professor to France to be questioned by police. Peeps be mad. He hasn’t been charged with anything. Give our country’s history of treating innocent people like terrorists, you’d think we’d show a little more restraint.

VIDEO! Why is Shea Weber not suspended? This is garbage.

About Stephen Whitworth

Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven pet snakes.

    Re: #3, I read the linked article, but your reference to life starting before conception baffles me. The bill deals with late-term abortions. Could you be confusing conception with viability? Please clarify.

    I got too cute with my links. The second link explains the situation.

    1) COOKIES! ANUMNUMNUMNUM! Whoa! These Pot Cookies give cookie monster a tummy ache!
    Me share these cookies next with Grover!

    2) I wouldn’t pay much attention to this poll until closer to the 2015 election when it really matters.

    3) Arizona keeps making political headlines! And yet retirees continue to flock there for the winter.
