So last night I sort of double booked the morning brew guest column. I stand by Chuck's post because it was fucking funny, but if you want to read a different perspective all together on the same news day, here is my man Quinn, of From Blown Speakers This one is only slightly racist, enjoy!

Sean had a chance encounter with Money J Skeets and inexplicably the pair hit it off. Since they were busy discussing how Gym Class Heroes and the Green Party tied into each other, Sean asked me to fill in on ye olde morning brew...

In the wake the financial crisis brewing down South, Canadian political leaders trade barbs over the recent market slides . It's almost cute that they believe that there's anything they can do to insulate our economy from America's.

On the bright side, when your college fund bottoms out, it's good to know that some professors have decided to give away their textbooks away for free though... but not at UBC or SFU. Your textbooks will still cost you half of this semester's student loan.

According to Metro Vancouver, at least 100 full time workers still qualify as "homeless." () Why don't you get a goddamn job, you lazy... oh.

On the Provincial front, the BC Liberals are sending out a questionnaire to ask how it should design next year's budget. First suggestion: stop wasting money mailing out questionnaires soliciting suggestions that you're never going to implement.

Tired of throwing your vote away in a riding where your party of choice has no chance? Trade it with someone in a different riding via Facebook! I've already traded mine five times!

Hunter kill's cancer patient's new puppy Uhh... there's no joke for that one. -ed. What? Not even a Palin joke?

Three people, including one student, were shot in Toronto yesterday. Three in one day! Those assholes are always trying to outdo us. Step up.

A Regina man asks why his son, a soldier accidentally killed by "friendly fire," won't receive the Governor-General's new sacrifice medal. Because his death was an accident and those other guys died on purpose, obviously.

To beat the recently instituted ban on junk food in local schools, some entrepreneurial students have started selling candy out of their lockers. Better than selling the other coke.

Sean, I really hope, I mean I really really hope, that one day you actually get a writing gig somewhere that beats your pocket change/hr job where you can be held accountable for what your right.

Hell, stranger things have happened. If the Green's can accept a Liberal cheat into their fold then maybe even Sean Orr can write something on *gasp* paper, and *bigger gasp* have people pay for it. (...nah)

Sean, question, is it hard faking talent? I know your audience isn't that hard to impress, but you must be exhausted. How do you fit all that bullshit in those skinny jeans? - http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=EwPhDtvDrp4

Sean Orr quotes

"I don't like looking for pictures. It sounds cliché, but pictures come to me,"

“I don’t understand why squatting is illegal.”

“I would remove most if not all of the parking garages downtown”

“I tend to ignore crime”

- And his opinion matters why?

what? bullshit. $8 per hour, x 40 = 320 per week, 1280 per month. I have lived in many apartments in town that cost only 300-400 per month (shared). thats 800 left over.

Are you retarded? of course there are many different ways our government can approach the US financial crisis.

Of course there are many different ways that our government can approach the US financial crisis, and they might mitigate the damage from it to varying degrees, but you're retarded if you think that an American financial crisis isn't, by default, a world financial crisis in the making. Most certainly, it's trouble for Canada, regardless of what our government or the Bank of Canada decides to do about it.

ah...you are indeed retarded. I hope you got a snide little chuckle out of this because I don't think anyone else did.

Ah yes. The guy who introduced the word "retard" to the discussion comes down on the side of common, human decency when he finds that he can't win the argument he started -- because the point he made was, indeed, retarded.
