Tea & Two Slices: On Narcissistic Tweets And The Radiating Twilight Of Civilization

by Sean Orr | We can’t even kick out the terrorists. Yeah dude! Fuck justice, freedom and liberty for all. They’re stupid concepts. And really, what good has any immigrant ever come to in Canada? Oh, wait…

Price of freedom is worth every cent. Yeah man, tell that to the people of Afghanistan. It’s almost like they’re ungrateful…

The insanely narcissistic tweet of the day comes from Twilight actress Tinsel Korey who was shooting over in Tofino when the earthquake/tsunami hit Japan: “They’re evacuating us 4 a tsunami warning. If this … is my last tweet. I love you. The end. Hugz”.

Meanwhile, everybody seems to be freaking out about nuclear fallout. Palast highlights Tokyo Electric as another shifty multinational, but the CBC says Westcoast not at risk. I’m not a conspiracist, but those words sound eerily foreboding…

Bula asks: How would Vancouver perform in an earthquake? I know that if I were in an earthquake I’d be a little distracted and my performance might be somewhat hindered. But seriously, I’ve got my earthquake kit. Do you have yours?

Hundreds of Vancouver teachers receive possible layoff notices today. On the day that Christy Clark makes education a priority. Pfft.

Oh, and for the guy who said Gwynn Morgan wasn’t a Neocon, he’s building Gadhafi a brand new prison

New life for Vancouver’s unused parking lots.
