TONIGHT in Toronto: Undercurrents Presents: The Upsetter: The Life & Music of Lee Scratch Perry (Movie Screening)
I posted this before but this is one of the few things worth a re-post. If you care about great music & true artistry and live in the GTA, you will be at the Toronto Underground Cinema tonight at 8PM.
Felonious Munk to President Obama: Balance your Checkbook, B!
“Stop your life, B. Get your whole sh-t together!’
How the f-ck do you owe China, B? how can I tell my daughter with a straight face that capitalism is the better system than communism if we borrowing money all our money from the biggest communist country on the planet??”
Everybody who has a loan to the federal government. F-ck paying it. Don’t pay your bills ‘cos they ain’t paying theirs!
What is the government’s credit score. It’s gotta be a 350….”
I know I’m late on this (I actually saw it a couple days ago) but if you haven’t watched this yet, check it out: HILARIOUS!
New York Observer‘s exclusive, unaired Occupy Wall Street Fox News interview footage
I haven’t been paying that much attention to the Occupy Wall Street protest movement despite the fact that it’s spreading and there’s been some questionable incidents related to it but this is amazing! A must-watch. The only part where dude perhaps gets into sticky territory is right at the end (which surprise, gets cut off) when he starts talking about Solyndra! There’s a good reason the interview in this footage has been unaired on TV. Sadly, the mainstream US news media isn’t really about addressing the difficult topics with honest, intelligent debate and dialogue that isn’t just empty, worn-out talking points.

[News] Police charge 26-year-old London, ON man over NHL banana-tossing incident
Since I’m now back in Canada, I feel obliged to pay attention to the national obsession with hockey more than my personal passion would normally warrant. But y’all should know by now, as previous posts have demonstrated, that I’m gonna do it from my own particular perspective here at The Kitchen:
“London Police Chief Brad Duncan speaks at a press conference September 28, 2011, announcing police have charged Chris Moorhouse, a 26-year-old London, Ontario man in the banana toss incident at last week’s Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings exhibition NHL game at the John Labatt Centre.”
