Friday on HBO’s “Real Time,” liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore defied conventional wisdom and predicted a “landslide” victory for Democrats in November’s midterm election.

OTTAWA, Ont. — Mélanie Joly’s political resume is longer than you might think — student activist leader, out-of-the-blue candidate who nearly became a big-city mayor and now Canada’s face on the world stage.
The foreign minister’s career — which includes a high-profile Cabinet demotion — has elevated her into a cluster of Liberals who could one day take over from party leader Justin Trudeau.
I double checked it’s not April 1st.

Why can’t I have sex with any (other) consenting animal I want to?
Unless you get around more than I do, you probably have never heard the word “zoophilia.” Recently, I first encountered this word. It is a nice way of saying “bestiality,” or sex with animals. Well, almost.
Stability is the one thing that throuples and polycules can never provide
The saddest thing I saw this week was a dating advert written by a woman — let’s call her Jane — looking for a man to start a family with.
There was nothing sad about Jane per se: she’s attractive and accomplished in the usual alarming millennial way. Not only does she have a well-paid job in a tech firm, but she climbs, plays the cello, writes plays and is a near-professional baker. Because young people these days don’t drink until they pass out, they have time for hobbies.

What that Canadian teacher with giant breasts reveals about trans identity.
There are some occasions when it is perfectly acceptable for men to don dodgy wigs and strap on comically large plastic boobs – think stag dos and drag nights. But it is generally agreed that such antics ought to be kept out of schools and away from children. As such, when the first photos and videos surfaced of a Canadian school teacher wearing a gargantuan set of fake breasts with protruding nipples, most people assumed it must have been a hoax. It was not.
