K-Dough Wins Major Award!

Class, please... Ahem. Class! Thank you. Good morning. Please listen carefully, because I have some delightful news.

It has come to my attention that Popular Doctrine, "a project in political discourse; a place where a socialist and a conservative debate the day's issues" has listed this blog in their top 10 political blogs post.

No solicitation. No fake voting. Just some recognition by a friendly communist comrade for my tireless efforts to make the e-world a better place and to fiercely battle in my personal crusade against partisan stupidship. Check it out: The Best Political Blogs- View From the Left.

Now, I suggest you spend the rest of your day reflecting on your love for me, which I will also be doing.

Romana King on CBC.ca

K-dos to my home girl Romana King on having the folks at CBC.ca publicize her "responsible living" ideas and excellent writing skills. Here's hoping she gets more of the same...

Check out Romana's latest article for CBC HERE or visit her most excellent blog HERE.

Just tell her K sent ya.

40,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Smart!

Guess what. K-dough officially topped the 40,000 hits mark tonight.

Happy whatever-the-fuck-that-means to me!

Ok, so whadda I get?

Nominate (read: validate) me!

Well, every other blog whore is asking you to nominate them for the Canadian Blog Awards (Sheena excepted), so I might as well grovel too. Someone nominate me. Please? I'll give you my collection of polaroids of blow jobs perfomed by pot-bellied French Canadian strippers from 1980s Northern metal tours. No? Ok. I'll give you my signed Guy Lafleur erection kit. On second thought, I might need that in a few years...

Ok, here is what K-Dough can do for you!

Nominate me and I'll come to your workplace and perform a naked impressionist mime treatment of Tom Waits' entire song catalogue.

Nominate me and I'll put a hot dog in every bun!

Nominate me and I'll put a cigar in every starving baby's mouth!

Nominate me and I'll put a blow-up Rona doll in every horny gun-owning redneck fuck's garage!

Nominate me and I'll put on a Richard Nixon mask, slap nipple clamps on Jason Kenney and ride him around a gay bar (The Beef Baron to be exact) screaming "why can't I be Peter's bitch?!!!!!!!".

Oh nevermind. It's useless. You hate me.

Ok, how about this: Nominate me in spite of all the lame-ass political bloggers currently nominated. Split the vote (into a pie of 3,176 pieces). Be a conscious observer if only for a moment.

If you don't nominate me I'm going to make myself puke and never talk to you again.

Love me. Look at me. Me, me, me, me, me.

No seriously- nominate me HERE!

Harding Young

If you have time this a.m. please check out my good friend, World Cup blogger Harding Young, who will appear on Andy Barrie's CBC Metro Morning (99.1 FM in southern Ontario). Harding, a fellow Toronto blogger has really been making a name for himself of late in the world of crime blogging on his sites T.O. Crime and T.O. Homicide. But he has also started a fascinating World Cup blog, which sees him visiting Toronto's culturally diverse neighbourhoods during games and reporting on what he sees, hears, tastes and smells! Last week, he appeared on Sun TV talking about the blog as well. Check him out!

Update: Harding will also be appearing tonight at 6:15 on CBC TV Toronto live. Tune in and support blogger success!

Other Project News

In cool other project news, a PR industry pod cast called Inside PR did a very kind piece on the Fair Ground blog and single voting site this week. You can check out the pod cast by clicking HERE. I'm one proud papa!

Hope y'all are doing well. The hiatus will be over soon and before you know it we'll be frothing at the mouth about politics, shaved body parts and fiddlin' idiots once again!

What Canada Needs

More of this. Ontario's Health Minister George Smitherman is a model for public service. The guy is real. No bullshit. Smitherman is Ontario's first openly gay cabinet minister and has nuts the size of grapefruits. Even before his cabinet appointment, he was the only MPP in Ontario to publicly celebrate his sexual orientation- when other gay MPPs were too chicken shit to come out - even though the rainbow party people on Church Street all knew who they were (spineless mice).

Public figures admitting to drug abuse is a model for others in similar situations. Smitherman made something of himself, when he could have fallen further in to the dark wheel of pain and misery that is addiction. He could have crashed and burned, like anyone behind the wheel of an out of control life, but he made hard choices and turned things around.

Those who bible thump and preach morality don't have a modicum of the energy, conviction and strength that men like Georgie Boy do. He should be commended for his openness and authenticity in a sea of fake, stuffed shirts and people who think they possess a monopoly on morality.

Michelle Mann on Legal Affairs

Today, I'm using this space to show respect and give props to my dear friend Michelle Mann, who has decided to take the shivering plunge into the icy waters of blogdom. Michelle is one of them smart persons, with some excellent things to say about social justice, politics and law. She already appears on television shows, including as a regular guest on the Michael Coren Show on Wednesdays and writes for several publications, including CBC's online Viewpoint.

So, please take a look at her maiden post and re-visit often!!! You can view her blog, entitled Manndates here. Check out her bio/web site as well, here.

(See that Mish- I didn't even use the word fuck once! Oh fuck! Damn. Oops, I did it again. Sorry. What I meant to say was...awwwww f-get abowt it.)
