Jack Layton
I found out that Jack Layton will be at the Alden Nowlan House tonight and I figured since I've got my list of questions made up already for Fredericton candidates, I might as well ask 'ol Jackie-Poo... you know, since its on the way home, ha ha!
So keep checking back on the blog to see what Jack has to say about these questions I have. Too bad Harper wasn't coming. I'd love to hear what he'd have to say about social assistance, freedom of speech, tuition prices, pay equity and sexual education!
Maybe while I'm at Alden Nowlan House, perhaps I should add "You wanna pay for my beer?", to the list of questions I will ask Jack Layton.

nazi????
Femi-Nazi is an ugly word used to refer to a Feminist. People will often call a feminist this to try and discredit their work for gender equality and also to make a feminist look like an extremist. I am using the word "Femi-Nazi" to mock the word, or "take it back". African Americans call eachother the "N" word to reclaim the word. I in no way endorse White Power, so don't fret Charles! Thanks for checking out my blog!
no problem...but readers might have the wrong idea???..lol
You can't take it back -- it was never yours.. it was owned by a bunch of fascist assholes.
You are absolutely right 1:30! Nazi isn't mine, Femi-nazi is! I am a feminist, which often means I will be called "a femi-nazi", which was never the intention of feminists. I didn't pick this word, sexist assholes did. I'm attempting to discredit this attack on gender equality by using it myself; I in no way link this with some sort of rascist agenda. Like I mentioned previously, I think white power is a load of bullshit and I agree completely that Nazis are a bunch of fascist assholes. If you continue to read in the future, I'm sure you'll see that this website will not tolerate racism, sexism or homophobia. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my blog 1:30, I hope that I also explained the title a little better this time around.
Good to see other views on here, but I'm pretty open minded and I can see the view of the poster above. When I was at charles site where the link didn't work, I was in the middle of a letter griping about how some posters are closed minded pricks for making that femi-nazi comment-til I found out it was YOU:)
I've been around the blog world awhile now and if you use that as a title, you are going to be explaining yourself (repeating yourself) A LOT. Whether you want to spend time doing that is your business, I would suggest it takes emphasis on what will be your topics. I'd advise either having a caption explaining that, or keep a post explaining it ready to be 'cut and pasted' with regularity.
I'm sure I will be cutting and pasting a lot 5:38! I had no idea that this would be a big deal at all! I assumed everyone would realize it was satire, but I have to remember that not everyone speaks and thinks the same as all my friends and I. I we are feminists (men can be feminists too!) and so you hear that word a lot! I suppose it would make an interesting discussion. Perhaps I could put an explaination in my profile? I think that would help.
PS - I can't believe Charles put THAT picture of my on his blog.... yuck!
