A Dose of Buckley #59 – Facebook Changes

This week, Facebook made some changes to their layout, and like every time Facebook makes a change, major, minor, or somewhere in between, people immediately cry and ask for it to be changed back, and make ridiculous threats like “I’m quitting, they’ll lose so much money!”. Sorry… WHAT money will they lose? And you do realize how little Facebook means in the grand scheme of things right? Buckley takes on the crybabies in this week’s Dose of Buckley.

A Dose of Buckley #57 – September 11 (10th Anniversary)

10 Years ago today (unless you watch this on a different day), the World Trade Center was attacked… and while so many specials and newspapers and other things will go on to talk about what a horrific day it was in history (and it was, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it wasn’t), if you take a truly rational look at it… what impact has it REALLY had on every other human in the WORLD? How is YOUR life different? And do you really care? Be absolutely honest with yourself, how often do you really think about not just the event itself, but the people who lost their lives, and their families? How does that effect your ability to watch Modern Family on your 52″ TV while stuffing back a bag of Doritos?

It’s the most polarizing Dose of Buckley to date, and can be seen/heard below:

A Dose of Buckley #54 – Music vs the Internet

Sure, the internet has made it easier than ever for musicians to share their talents… but what happens when the “musicians” don’t actually have “talent”? Has the invention of YouTube made it too easy for no-talent hacks to make a few bucks? How else would “Lady” be even partially known? And how hypocritical do I sound? These questions and more, answered with this edition of “A Dose of Buckley”:

A Dose of Buckley #53 – Rap-Dances

What can I say, maybe I’m getting soft in my old-age, as I approach the big 3-0 mark, but once in a while I do a rant for the fans. Not to say I don’t hate rap-dances, I absolutely do, but there are other topics I’d probably like to talk about first… however, the small cult following I’ve gained over the last little while has been wanting me to talk about some of these songs and the absolutely ridiculous dances that go along with them for some time, so consider this a nice gesture for the fans who’ve patiently waited as I’ve talked about Canadian Politics, the Canadian Postal service, Mark Zuckerberg, etc… all along wondering “when the hell is he going to just make fun of music again, we only subscribed because of your list of worst songs of 2010, that’s what we want to hear more about!” So here… don’t say I never did anything for you. Click the video below and enjoy.

A Dose of Buckley #51 – Gay Marriage (David Tyree)

I don’t really watch Football, so I was very unsurprised when I hadn’t heard of David Tyree before today. David Tyree played for the New York Giants, and won a Super Bowl with some catch that made CNN refer to him as a “hero”. Now, I’ll save the “how is someone a hero when all they do is play a stupid game?” rant for another day, because today, I’m ranting about David Tyree’s recent denouncement of gay marriage, saying that it will cause anarchy. As always, it’s good to see that religious people aren’t blowing things out of proportion… check out the rant below:

A Dose of Buckley #50 – Canada Post

So, Canada Post workers are threatening to walk out/strike/not go to work/whatever you want to call it, because they feel they’re not being overpaid enough. 7 weeks vacation time, pension, a great hourly rate for what amounts to walking around and putting things in boxes, that’s all just simply not good enough for them.

Musical Autopsy: Wiz Khalifa – Black & Yellow

Alright, so I’ve been getting annoyed lately by people claiming that “Black & Yellow” is about the Pittsburgh Steelers. It most definitely is NOT about the Pittsburgh Steelers, and to give you completely irrefutable proof, here’s a Musical Autopsy.

A Dose of Buckley 48 – Gas Prices

Gas prices have got completely out of hand… I filled my car up the other day at 137.7/litre (Americans: quit your whining, that works out to $5.21 a gallon, and you think your prices are high), meanwhile everything I read on the news is about oil prices going down based on lower demand. It doesn’t matter who’s to blame, the important question is, who can fix it? Certainly not me, and CERTAINLY not the people who try and create “Don’t Buy Gas Day” events on Facebook… but I know someone who might be able to help. Find out who by watching below:

A Dose of Buckley 47 – Federal Election 2011

For the 5th time in 11 years, Canada is going back to the polls for a Federal Election. If this seems a little excessive to you, it’s because it is. This week: A little primer on Canadian Politics, courtesy of your favourite vulgar professor, Buckley.

A Dose of Buckley 46 – Burqas in France

Recently, France outlawed covering your face in public. What makes this a real issue is that Muslim women who wear Burqas are breaking the law simply for practicing their religion and preserving their culture. Is France in the wrong? I don’t believe so… watch and find out why.
