by Sean Orr | Apathy a real concern in approaching election. But don’t get us wrong. We hate young people and Occupy Vancouver, and Critical Mass, and PHS, and DERA; we hate whiners, artists, complainers, skateboarders, bike lanes, homeless shelters, anarchists, pseudo-anarchists, and, hell…people who play soccer on Sundays; but still, there’s too much apathy. I wonder why?

Best I Saw You ever?

Whenever I walk around the city and see you beautiful white women, I know there’s no chance for a short ugly asian guy like myself.

Me too, brother. Me too.

Best first sentence ever?

At the Waffle House here, no one can believe that the gray-haired men who came in almost daily for egg sandwiches and coffee could have been terrorists plotting to blow up government buildings and kill masses of people using poison from a bean plant that people in this rural part of the state grow to ward off moles.

So apparently Proust is writing for the New York Times now…

Do you agree with Vancouver’s decision to clear the Occupy camp? We have the opportunity to do something here. Gregor, if you are reading this, please consider the possibility of a permanent protest encampment. In a public address at one of the protestors’ General Assemblies, you should acknowledge Vancouver’s proud squatting tradition and propose a location – wherever appropriate – to establish a semi-permanent outdoor shelter park. I can imagine under the viaducts would be a good place to start. I envision hanging huge, teflon tarpaulins (like the old Canada Place sails) from the top. Hell, get Gregory Henriques to do a cool, cascading Frank Gehry/Erickson thing; and underneath you have the first ever permanent #OccupyHabitat/Homeless Shelter meets Street Market/New-Urbanist Shanty. Ah, but who would foot the bill for a such a bold experiment? The banks. If and when they say no, and if and when the #occupy protesters say no to being packed up and moved, you come out looking like a visionary who – at the very least – proposed something different.

Or you could always just make them into extremists.

And speaking of extreme: Waiting for the cable guy is costing us $38 billion. The economy is weird.

But then so are politics: Liberals vote-splitting talk disrespects voters, says NDP’s Dix. True… that would be the ethical position to take but, nah! Go Cummins Go!

Number of camping families dropping. Man, just say that over and over again in your head and tell me I shouldn’t make another song like yesterday.
