Yes, it has gotten that bad, thank you.
Funniest line I’ve read all day (seriously — if I hadn’t already picked a LOL of the Week, this would be the LOL of the Week): “What, did Canada’s HRCs come south for the winter?”
Because in the United States, forcing meat-handlers to handle certain kinds of meat violates their civil rights!
You know, I have to say: while in general I tend to find myself compelled to mourn the sorry state of our society and the “culture of entitlement” that is the human rights industry, every so often something so very ruthlessly absurd just bubbles up…and I find that I just want to laugh.

I started blogging back in 2004 -- in May, if the Wayback Machine is to be believed. Not that I remember the exact day. To be honest, I didn't take it that seriously then; it was a fun distraction, but nothing more.
That all changed, I think, once the Danish cartoons were published, and the assault on the right to freedom of expression became very visible. With the recent issues in Canada concerning the "human rights" commissions, the gravity of the matter has only increased, and my interest in blogging has increased right along with it.
I used to blog at a domain called Time Immortal, but it seemed to be the right time for a change -- there's been a lot of that in my life of late. Hence this blog: a fresh start, and proof positive that I won't shut up even if I get shut down once in a while.
