the most important battle of our time…

…is happening over at the Urban Dictionary. Make sure to join in on the fight.

Props to Rob over at Five of Five for the link.

UPDATE!

Because silly right-wing Emil can’t seem to see through the layers upon layers of sarcasm in this blog, we have decided to post other epic battles, which can be found here, here, and especially here (we voted for #3 on this one- “ndp is hott as balls yo“).

ANOTHER UPDATE!

Another epic (and entertaining) battle… just because we live in Edmonton….

anonalogue promoting mumbo-jumboism

daveberta calls on right-wing blogger to come clean on his secret agenda of non-sex marriage

For Immediate Release
August 15, 2005

EDMONTON- Following today’s shocking accusations from right-wing blogger and Anne Cools-a-holic, Anonalogue, daveberta is calling on the Blogging Tory member to come clean on his secret agenda.

In an email dated Monday, August 15, 2005, Mr. Anonalogue denounced the wonderful chris-face original Southparkization of daveberta’s Editor-in-Chief. In his email, Mr. Anonalogue cried that he was “shocked and outraged” and that “the word ‘Liberal’ does not belong in the same .jpeg as an assault rifle.

Anonalogue continued his rant with bold statements that “[t]here is no such thing as a South Park Liberal…” only “…South Park Conservatives,” and that “[y]ou can be a Liberal. Or you can be a South Park fan. But you cannot be a Liberal and a South Park fan.

Earlier today, Mr. Anonalogue continued to pontificate his cartoon-induced rage in the comment section of the great blog known as daveberta by “DEMAND[ing]” that the editors of daveberta remove the “viciously heteronomative… picture from his website and replace it with a… less heterosexual image more befitting of a gun registry and gay marriage supporter, like this.”

Daveberta’s Editor-in-Chief responded, “Mr. Anonalogue’s attack on chris-face’s masterpiece is an attack on all artists and freedom lovers. We are incredibly proud of the work which Mr. face has done and feel privileged to have graced his artistic vision. This right-wing blogger is clearly on a mission to spread the dark ideas of mumbo-jumboism. One day he professes his love for libertarianism and Anne Cools, and then denounces freedom of the arts in the next.

The Editor-in-Chief continued “it is quite clear that Mr. Anonalogue’s statements regarding the ‘vicious heteronomative’ images in the masterpiece are signs of his secret agenda of implementing non-sex marriage in Canada.

In response to this shocking revelation, Daveberta’s Editorial Board unanimously endorsed the following statement: “Conservative ducks such as Mr. Anonalogue have lost their battle against same-sex marriage and now they want to ruin it for everyone by imposing non-sex marriage. Not only is the principle of non-sex marriage clearly opposed by a majority of the human race, it’s just not cool. We will fight against Anonalogist non-sex marriage to the bitter end. It’s just not natural.

russian political porn

Yes, you read the title correctly.

From today’s Globe & Mail.

Ukraine, Georgia fuming over planned Russian sex film

By GRAEME SMITH
Monday, August 15, 2005 Page A10

MOSCOW — Alexei Mitrofanov, deputy leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party, says he cannot understand the ruckus over his dirty movie.

What’s so wrong, he asks, about writing a film script that imagines a steamy rendezvous between a buxom woman named Yulia and a darkly handsome gentleman named Mikhail?

What does it matter if the porn star selected for the role of Yulia wears the same braided hairstyle as Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko? Or that she climbs into a Russian attack helicopter, zooms over the mountains along Georgia’s northern border and makes love to someone who resembles Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili?

You can read the rest of the article here.

Crazy Russians.

party at jim’s!

We thought this was pretty cool.

Apparently, Green Party of Canada Leader, Jim Harris (affectionately known to millions as: Jim who?) is hosting a pool party! The party, which is to celebrate the Green Party’s rise in the polls (which I’ve lost track of- the plethora of late has given me poll fatigue), is going to be held in Jim’s own backyard!

Now, we just think this is the coolest thing ever. When was the last time Paul Martin had a kegger at 24 Sussex, or Stephen Harper had a BBQ party at Stornoway? (maybe they have and we just don’t know about it).

*100% props to Lex Luthor for this one.*

We’re overtired, bored, and just got our internet connection set up in the new house. Henceforth, we decided to create this in celebration of our move to the south side of the river.

Please enjoy responsibly.

san quentin

“Johnny Cash at San Quentin” has become our latest obsession. It’s on the office itunes, but we bought the CD this weekend. Sweet. Johnny Cash rocks.

A little busy this week (translation: less time to slack), so posting won’t be as frequent in the off-season of August.

BTW: One of the best song lyrics EVER…

Folsom Prison Blues

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, “Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don’t ever play with guns,”
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin’,
I hang my head and cry.

premiers annual golf tournament

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
“Toot toot!” The “Premiers Express” goes to Banff.


Canada‘s provincial Premiers will be meeting in Banff this week (August 10-12) to hold their annual golf tournament, which is also known as the “Council of the Federation.”

The week will start off with a train-ride from Calgary to Banff (see above).

According to the Globe & Mail:


“[d]eveloping a national plan on post-secondary education and training will top the agenda when the country’s provincial and territorial leaders gather this week in the
Rocky Mountains for their annual meeting.”

Well, as much as we hope that they seriously discuss and take action on this issue, we’re willing to bet that it won’t take long before the meeting becomes another bickerfest between the provinces and the feds.

PREMTIVE NOTE TO PREMIERS AND FEDS: Both of your funds come from the same taxpayer. Quit acting like 8 year-olds and start some action on PSE!

You can find more info on the “Council of the Federation” annual golf conference in Banff here.

daveberta readers rebuke the alberta ndp

The once mighty Alberta NDP-Army flees daveberta.

For Immediate Release
August 5, 2005

Edmonton – In the wake of the recent “Shannon-gate” scandal, daveberta readers have responded in full force.

On Monday, August 1st, Ms. Shannon Phillips, the Communications Director of the Alberta NDP Caucus responded to a recent daveberta post regarding Edmonton Strathcona ND MLA Raj Pannu’s rumoured intention to step down in order to make way for Larry Booi to run for the Alberta NDP in a by-election.

Since the “Shannon-gate” fiasco began, daveberta has received many comments and emails in response to Ms. Phillips comment. Many were received after the official daveberta response to Ms. Phillips.

Though the daveberta editorial board does not officially support comments left in said section, in the spirit of open and transparent blogging, included below are reactions from loyal daveberta readers on “Shannon-gate“:

Aaron said: “NDP? Who are they? They’re from Ontario, right? 😛

Tyler said: “Who ever thought the Alberta NDP could afford to be that smug! Woo Hoo! 4 seats!

Baghdad Bob said: “I won’t believe Raj until he signs a reporter’s notebook that says 3 3/4 years!”

Holtopia said
: “The Alberta NDP is definately hiding something…

Ken said: “I am glad to know the NDP still has many over confident individuals, such as yourself. I would like to assure you personally that although the candidate your party elects may propose many ideas that begin with a dollar sign and end with a lot of zeroes, my candidate will have more than “nice ideas”. I already have multiple candidates actively seeking [the Alberta Liberal] nomination, and these are people who believe in education and health care.

I appreciate your suggestion that “the riding association will remain as moribund as it has been for the last few years”. Please continue to spread this rumour through your party circles, because it will lead to many of your volunteers staying home, and make my job that much easier.

and finally…

Allie said: “”… if it was simply a chalked up rumour, then why is it even worth a response? Especially from someone as high in up the Alberta NDP echelons as Ms. Phillips?”

“High up in the NDP echelons?” That’s “the most preposterous thing I have heard all day!” With only FOUR MLA’s what on earth is high up anyways? Don’t make me laugh. Ms Phillip’s just has this much time on her hands. Scanning local blog posts for slights against the NDP (a fulltime job in itself I imagine) and responding to them in her trademark “I’m better and know more than you” fashion. It’s exactly this type of response that leads people to dismiss the NDP as anything but serious.

Someone catch Ms Phillips before she falls off her chair.

god bless ezra and his western standards.

It appears as if Aaron is in a full pitched epic battle with Western Standard Editor, Ezra Levant (Who apparently got an “A” in “undergraduate stats.” Of course, Ralph Klein got a “B” on his Chilean History paper, so we here at daveberta remain more than a little skeptical).

We recommend that Aaron use the trusty “left hook jab” in his battle.

Most sincerely,

daveberta editorial board
