For the sixth year in a row, CJLO is proud to rock Montreal's Fantasia Film Festival! Bringing films from right here and around the world to screens at Concordia's downtown campus and across the city, Fantasia is North America's premiere genre film festival. Kung-fu, horror, sci-fi, anime, fantasy, action, documentaries from the edge, classic films and films soon to become classics... Fantasia has something for everyone!

There are days when I get so angry with the current state of the economy, with people like Steve Moore whom Paddy over at the Political Carnival linked to earlier advocating increased taxes on the poor in the US - the lack of readily available and decent paying jobs that have helped to shrink the middle-class over the past 30 years or so - that I sometimes joke on the radio program that I'm looking forward to a time when "Eat the rich," is no longer a bit of graffiti scrawled on a wall but a menu option. I'm gonna' sit down and order me one extra-large republican braised over a spit for two or three days in a tangy lemon-ginger sauce.

Remember that story I blogged earlier about the corporatist Police State that we're now all inhabitants of (yeah, that includes Canada)? well, today over at ProPublica.org there's a story of a photographer who was followed and detained by BP security and the Police for taking innocuous photographs of signs in and around a BP refinery in Texas City.
