Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Thursday night wild-card show, here is Mr. Jimmie Rogers (1897-1933), often known as “the Father of Country Music”, performing his famous Blue Yodel #1 (T for Texas) (1927, 2:57), which sold a half-million copies by 1929.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.
Ramadan in Brussels
Tramp Beaten Up For Drinking Beer During Ramadan
A forty-year old homeless man almost died when he was beaten up in Brussels by a man and his father, both Muslims, because he was drinking beer during the Ramadan. Rachid, the 19-year old culprit, beat his victim Serge with an iron bar with nails.

The poll has been replaced. The results are still there at CTV under the news tab.
Yes, his jokes were tasteless 6893 votes (47 %)
No, he’s already apologized 7868 votes (53 %)
Another online poll gone horribly wrong.
Batb, I share your cynicism to a certain degree, but I’m still convinced that it would be really helpful, in terms of finally dealing with the CBC, if more non-Lib/left Canadians who otherwise don’t watch would endeavor to keep an eye on The National *for the duration of the election.* Just as you would keep an eye on a guy skulking around your yard at night instead of saying “I don’t want to look at him because I don’t like him.”
Maybe you’re right that the wimpiness and the lack of will of Canadians to do anything about it, and politicians’ lack of will, have something to do with it, but don’t underestimate *ignorance* about the CBC’s coverage. A lot of people don’t witness what the CBC’s been getting away with, so how could they pressure politicians about it?
Giora Eiland, Rethinking the Two-State Solution
Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland, former head of the Israeli National Security Council, illustrates how the conventional two-state approach is doomed to fall apart under the cumulative weight of the compromises that it would require from both sides. Even apart from the difficulty of resolving the core issues, new problems such as Hamas’s ascendancy have rendered the old model moot. Rather than maintaining a destructive status quo that hurts the Palestinians more than anyone, General Eiland offers two new proposals — a “Jordanian option” and a “regional solution” — that could help bypass the growing political and security obstacles that have impeded peacemaking for so many years.

(Via SWJ) Jeffrey Fleishman, Facebook reflects struggle over Islam’s role
His fingers tapping like a tiny army over laptop keys, Waleed Korayem, a university student who quotes Einstein and Voltaire, skims the Internet in a noisy cafe and opens his Facebook group, the one that drives Islamists into fits of rage: Yeah, We Are Seculars and We Are Proud.
It’s hot and he is sweating, clicking through cyberspace venom and passionate screeds of Muslims debating Islam and democracy in the Middle East. Some of it is playful, some of it mean, but beyond the aliases and funny log-on names, this electronic parallel world has given young Muslims a voice beyond their mosques and repressive governments…
EBD – that’s an interesting research task for those of us who can actually bear to watch the CBC. [I can’t; can’t watch Newman or Duffy either; or Global or…].
But, to keep tabs on bias…The thing is, these stations are almost 80% and more biased in favour of the Liberals. They are all staffed by people paid by govt funding; they are all members of the ‘Intellectual Sophist Class’. So, their agenda is the Liberal agenda..even if they don’t give it that name.
Again, as I repeat my rant: The Liberal perspective is a two class society, with an ‘intellectual sophist class’ as the de factor rulers. This group is made up of govt funded professionals – health care, media, teachers, civil service, journalism, lawyers etc.
Their agenda is to keep themselves secure from the rabble, who consist of anyone not part of this professional group: the workers, self-employed, small business, independent entrepreneurs, immigrants
…This lower class must be kept ‘in line’ – by means of the HRCs, a rejection of freedom of speech..and money to pay off the lowest incomes of these groups…to bribe new immigrants to stay isolated…
Just listen to the ideology of the Liberals and you’ll see that it sets up a two-class system, and the upper class is quite willing to be taxed to keep the peasants quiet and settled..and far away.
Since most people in our large cities (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) are members of this Intellectual Sophist class – they actually agree with the CBC, CTV, Toronto Star.
It is very hard for the Conservative ideology to move into these big cities, since the Conservative ideology is based around the individual, the independent thinker, the innovator, and small and medium business. It’s not found within the group who are embedded within the secure havens of the civil service, academic, etc..all govt funded. These latter people aren’t independent; they are dependent..and that is the Liberal Way.
(PDF warning) Martin J. Hart, Al Qaeda: Refining a Failing Strategy
Al Qaeda’s inability to translate its post-9/11 approval in the Muslim world into a mass movement jihad against the West is prompting a search for new ways to regenerate lost momentum, but the group’s inherent weaknesses are likely to prevent progress and gradually discredit its vision for the future of Islam. Al Qaeda’s long-term plan—according to the writings of its core leaders, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri—is to move from a small vanguard movement to the leadership, at least at a nominal level, of a global Islamic insurgency in order to destroy Western influence in the Muslim world and reestablish the historic caliphate…
EBD: I hear you. I don’t think that I’m being cynical, simply being observant. I’ve been monitoring the CBC for over 30 years, and I’m convinced that if not for the government curtailing the budget of the CBC or getting rid of it altogether (FIRE. THEM. ALL. Yes!), a lot of shock and anger is going to have little effect on the way the MotherCorp[se] does business–as usual.
There have been a number of issues which have elicited a lot of shock and anger on the part of the Canadian public, it’s been expressed to the CBC, and nothing much has changed in the time I’ve been keeping an eye on the CBC and regularly expressing my outrage at their partisan biases.
Just look at how the CBC ombudsman–a former EMPLOYEE of the CBC and a journalist who taught at Ryerson for a number of years: I’m sure he’s going to be objective and non-partisan… ;-(–answers outraged Canadians: the CBC holds to high journalistic standards of excellence and integrity–in the face of the CBC’s having done exactly the opposite, even when you provide proof from the article or newscast in question that, in fact, “high journalistic standards” have been severely breeched.
If more Canadians would watch the CBC to see what’s going on, it couldn’t hurt, and perhaps it could help. But, I’m not holding my breath!
ET’s analysis adds other cogent reasons why, IMO, shock and anger will not be enough to turn this ocean liner around.
ET: “Their [the Librano$ and their cheerleaders] agenda is to keep themselves secure from the rabble, who consist of anyone not part of this professional group: the workers, self-employed, small business, independent entrepreneurs, immigrants”
I’ll add one more category to your list: stay-at-home moms in one-income, intact mom/dad homes.
I was part of that demographic for almost 20 years and, I can tell you, the Librano$ DID NOT LIKE us. They taxed us to the max and basically disenfranchised us from having any say in things.
One-income, intact mom/dad homes–at least those at the middle- to low-end of the income spectrum, which was where my family was–are independent thinkers who have made huge financial sacrifices to care for their own kids and to keep an eye on what they’re actually learning at school.
We tend to speak out against the socialist agenda, 1) because it sure doesn’t benefit us and 2) we don’t like seeing our hard-earned tax dollars being squandered on both agendas and lifestyles with which we vehemently disagree.
The Librano$ are interested only in those who are willing to join the herd–and they play the Sugar Daddy, dispensing goodies to their favoured groups to ensure that they join the herd and stay with the herd. And, of course, vote with the herd.
Well, not me!!
How do we get the truth out when all the media are bent on electing the Liberals. The Print media is a disgrace, they print one side of the story, the one tha looks the worst for the Conservative.
This Cannon apology was absolutely not needed,nothing was said that wouldn’t be said to anyone with the history of that group. Furthermore, the problems the Indians are trying to heft onto the government have nothing to do with it, it’s a problem that belongs with their band council.
We are lucky to have a level head leading the Conservatives and the Country with all the crap going on in the media to tear him down.
All of the journalistas certainly learned from the Pravda playbook well.
Note also how stinky Jean Chretien is being quoted regularly by his adoring media.
S’cuse me while I barf.
On the lighter side:
The Fox and Rice Experience, Barackalypto (Audio)
Hamutal Bar-Yosef, A Culture of Endless Mourning
Israel’s preoccupation with grief is in stark contrast to Jewish tradition.
Bereavement and mourning play a powerful role in Israeli culture. We belong, after all, to a people with a long history of collective grief, one that casts its shadow over our lives even today. We know, as our memorial days remind us time and again, that it is our eternal duty to remember our dead and honor their memory. We must not forget what has happened to our people and what it has suffered. We have come to see this duty as a given, as an almost sacred responsibility whose purpose is self-explanatory. And for those who have lost loved ones in the Holocaust, in Israel’s wars, or in terrorist attacks, the duty to remember—and to mourn—seems even more obvious and unquestionable…

With Dion saying that the Green Shift is no longer a major plank in the platform, voters should punish the libs as being unfit to lead.

Today I received an e-mail invitation to visit the all new CBC.ca “Member Centre”. Here’s what I wrote them back:
I just received an invitation to visit your new online member centre.
Before I do so, could you please update me on the status of Heather Mallick’s employment at your organization. A few weeks ago she published a hate filled diatribe on your website that not only embarrassed the CBC, but also embarrassed all Canadians.
I know for a fact that many people have launched complaints with the CBC Ombudsman. What has happened with these?

“Green shift Not major Platform Plank,Dion Says”

Now the ammo is in the chamber the conservatives should be making New Ads, Over $80Billion in promises( and we still have 27days to go)
And Now Dions abandoning his Green Shift!! Oh ya his running mate Liz still has her Green Shift so let her promote it instead.
I can hardly wait for the Debates, And the Emmy for best Comedy Performance Goes Too…..
EBD (now corrected): Me too, big time. In my Bluegrass period triggered by Oh Brother Where Art Thou a few years back, I bought the Jimmie Rodgers boxed set: 5 CDs, 1927-1933. (JSP Records, JSP7704, “carefully re-mastered”).
I’m sure that Leonard Cohen would assign him a high floor in the Tower of Song. Thanks Vitruvius for the reminder. It’s on my desk as we type.
EBD/ET/batb: EBD makes a good point but like you, ET, I just can’t watch CBC. This is a job for professionals, not unlike (if you’ll pardon the Vitruvian construction) being a government pornography censor. Not something to be attempted at home by amateurs.
I dunno but I feel that the CBC will be the CBC no matter the intensity of the monitoring and the tiny volume of complaints from wacko conservatives. They may adjust toward a more subtle approach, may move from lies of commission to ommission, etc., but that’s about it.
In this hyper-politicized world this may not be possible but I’d like to see the CBC taken out of the news and political programming fields.

The Toronto Star has an article on Dion abandoning the green shift and saying it that it was never a major part of the liberal platform. He says the media said that ,not him. Sure. Anyways the comments are running about 20 to 1 against Steffi,and this is the Toronto Star. There is only one fellow ,Jason Cherniak,who is defending him.Priceless. http://www.thestar.com/FederalElection/article/502283
The SHAFT has SHIFTED!
Dion is now saying that his ‘Green Shift’ ..er..sorry, THE Green Shift is most definitely not the major policy plank/plonk/plink of the Liberal Party. No way…
In typical Liberal fashion, he’s blaming us, the people. And the media. We are the ones, according to Dion, who said it was the major Liberal policy in his plank/plonk. Not him. He didn’t say it.
Wait a minute. If his is true, then why didn’t he stop the media, and us, from talking about it as the major Liberal policy..way back in June when he accounced it?? And announced it to great fanfare and funfare…geez..you don’t do that for a minor policy in your plonk/plink.
Why didn’t he stop us from talking about it as The Major Liberal Policy..in June? In July? In August? Hmmmm? Why now? Is it because..er..it’s not working? And too many people are saying that it’s got nothing to do with The Greening of Canada but more to do with the Greening of the Liberal MoneyPockets? Hmmm?
So, since it’s now no longer the Major Policy in the Liberal Plank/Plink…what is? At the moment, Dion is Doing a Martin. He’s travelling around, flinging promises of millions and billions of our money to each and everyone. Of course, he has no money to make good on these promises, but heck..it sounds great. But there aren’t any policies. Just flinging…flings.
And IF he got into office, he’d instantly find that there was a ‘deficit’..and he’d have to cancel all his promises. Aw shucks. There isn’t any deficit. Not under Harper. But Dion would find one.
So, I’d bet that we can find in the archives, some record of Dion or the official Liberal party boasting about The Green Shift as the major Liberal policy.

That is, aside from the hopeless complexity of the Green Shaft, the non-summing totals, and lack of reducing emissions.
O.K., I didn’t see this personally, but someone has reported that when asked on CPAC how he would pay for his billion $$’s in promises, Dion said that it will be disclosed later on — but that he would not raise taxes nor cut existing programs. This is nuts. Was the Greenshift not the way he was going to pay for his programs? Why would he not explain that? Did anyone see this on CPAC?
over at the good ole G&M in the comments section under the article May/Duceppe win debates draw someone refered to May as “Aunt Bea” & the comments are slowly turning on Dions Flipper(green shaft not major platform)or as i called him Barney Fife.
Also the National Post is now reporting that Dion’s Promise’s are Over $$$80BILLION & like i said before this is Only the 13th day with 27 to Go My Gawd what is Barney Smoking Where(if elected)does he think that money is going to come from.
Dion just had a John Tory moment. His comment that Green Shift being major item in his platform was invention of press will mean his party has no election “buzzterm” while the NDP and Tories do.
Note Nanos polling shows Tories slowly inching toward majority territory (39% now, Nanos says 43% required). Dion has pulled the boneheaded move of the campaign, and has now changed the channel from Ritz “affair” (Torstar accuses Tories of this, quite the stupid comment), to confirmation that Grits will say and do anything to get votes.
He should have stuck with the Green Shaft, because it solidified his eastern big city vote. Now what will happen?
He will get pilloried during debate by all other parties, including Green I suspect. His incomprehensible english will be put to the test explaining himself on this matter.
Dion is making John Turner look like a genius; we are seeing the worst campaign, by any party, in a very long time. Considering John Tory’s disaster and Paul Martin’s desperate and pathetic campaigning, that is quite an “accomplishment.”
We should have a post on SDA, a ‘Watch Dion Spend’ thread. He’s already promised over 80 billion in ‘goodies for the citizens’ but hasn’t told us where all this money will come from. Apart from us, the taxpayer.
But, he’s said he won’t raise taxes. He’ll cut them. That’s in his now sidelined Green Shaft. He specifically says he’s cutting income taxes by at least 1%, and Corporate Taxes by 1%. And he’s made 15 billion worth of promises in that Green Shaft…the money for that, he says, will come from taxing Carbon Emissions. Of course, all our costs of everything will go up..but..
But, where will he get the money for this 80 billion new spending? Since he won’t raise taxes…will he cut services?
Oh, and he’s now saying that the farmers will decide the Canadian Wheat Board’s composition and decisions. Didn’t the Liberals reject that in the last parliament?
The most disgusting partisan media in the world is right here in Canada. Every politics program on TV and the print media in the country is pushing to get the Liberals elected, it palpable, it’s shameful and a black mark on democracy. It’s something we see in banana republics, where the media is an arm of one political movement. In Canada it’s all Liberal all the time and what their strategy will be to fool the people. Sickening.

Frankly, I can hardly believe it. The Liberals are chucking the Green Shift? I suppose Stephane Dion can’t be too far behind.”

“I guess the Canadian Press got it wrong then:
Dion has said The Green Shift will be the centrepiece of the Liberals’ platform for the next election campaign. But the poll results suggest he may be in danger of being seen as a one-trick pony.
“I believe that is a definite risk for Dion right now,” said a Harris-Decima senior vice-president, Jeff Walker.”
“Like Wile E Coyote finding himself tied to the boulder he has tossed over the cliff, Stephane Dion will find he is unable to untie himself from the Green Shift in time.”

It’s quite something to watch the bribes. The National Post reports:
“the Liberals’ campaign pledges [are now]past the $80 billion mark — $80.183 billion to be precise, according to calculations by Canwest News Service. The Conservatives, cheapskates that they are, have pledged less than $2 billion, while the NDP is at $16.5 billion.”
Don’t be surprised if the cbc decides that Dion abandoning the greenshift is not news and gets very little coverage.The new cbc line will be that the liberals can give us everything and also save the planet,at no cost.Meanwhile those Harperite bullies are trying to kill you so they can give your money to the big corporations.

Get this from “bob” over at Stephen Taylor’s blog: bob: “Dion bails and the [CBC] pundits are all Ritz all the time?”
My response:
Groan. Gee I’m glad I was out having a beer with my daughter and her boyfriend and not watching Newman’s BRAWWWWDCAST. I’d probably have thrown something at the TV.
From now on, I will never again consider this panel as “pundits.” They’re partisan sell-outs, out to cover and save their own butts. Actually, this panel has always been weak; I can’t think of one who isn’t left-of-centre. Calling them “pundits” is a conceit which stretches credulity. For crying out loud, Susan Delacourt’s brother was the Director of Communication for Liberal big-wig Joe Volpe, so I’m sure she’s objective…right?
Both Andrew Coyne and Chantal Hebert on the National last night said that what Agriculture Minister Ritz said IN A CONFERENCE CALL (which was leaked–by whom?), NOT A PUBLIC MEETING was not a firing offence, an assessment with which I totally agree. He has apologized and that should be that.
The fact that the majority of our MSM has become a vociferous attack dog on behalf of one political party–the Liberals–is an appalling state of affairs. They are acting as the media behave in totalitarian regimes. Isn’t Canada a democracy? Or, more to the point, how do these partisan attacks on the CPC BY THE MEDIA encourage or advance Canadas’ democracy?
There need to be laws to limit the interference of media outlets in the democratic process during an election campaign, because what is happening in this election is a media CPC pile-on which is despicable and unconscionable. It’s not as though the other parties don’t have a whole lot of gaffes going on–case in point, Dion throwing the Green Shift under the bus. But the Canadian media isn’t reporting them or is mentioning them only once and then moving on.
Agriculture Minister Ritz’s (leaked) comments for which he has sincerely apologized are not in the same league as Dion’s dump of his party’s Green Shift. For three days, the MSM has highlighted the Ritz “scandal.”
When is the MSM going to analyse and minutely dissect Dion’s flip-flop?
batb – you know that the MSM won’t examine Dion. As we all point out, 90% of our MSM are leftists; they are primarily Liberals.
Again, that’s because the Liberal mindset operates within that’intellectual sophist’ class, a class that is embedded within government funding, isolated from practical issues, protected and cocooned within the big cities.
Our ‘cultural’ groupies – the people in films, art, music, literature – in Canada are almost entirely funded by the taxpayer. It would never occur to these people to seek private funding, and ‘sell’ their work; that is – to see if the PUBLIC actually wants their art products.
That’s because to them, the hoi polloi, the peasant taxpayers, are too ‘beer and popcorn’ to appreciate Art and Culture. Their books, films, art, would never sell on the market to these people. But, we are expected to fund this same Art and Culture with our taxes.
The MSM, the journalists, are part of Canada’s Art and Cultural Set – a nest of entwined people..some in the CBC, some in films, some in books. And all, expecting to be funded by the govt. As noted, it never occurs to these people to try for private funding. No way.
The Liberal mindset is unique; it is isolated from practicalities (Dion’s Green Shaft is a perfect example of an unrealistic narrative). It operates within fictional premises (the earth is warming, the sky is falling)and an arrogant belief in human social engineering (we can fix everything).
It is openly class-based, sneering at the ‘lower class’ who refuse to acknowledge the Liberal ‘progressive’ superiority (the slurs against the West is an example).
And, since it rests within a fictional ideology rather than taking a pragmatic approach, it cannot do anything to assist a society..other than raise taxes and fling money at the problem. And blame others. Usually the other political party or the Americans.
I suspect we’ll see Kinsilly on the CBC a couple of days before the election.

“Britain’s Guardian newspaper published another column by Mallick in which she trashed Palin’s home state of Alaska as a “frontier state full of drunks and crazy people.””
Good thing she didn’t accuse, say, aboriginal Canadians of being drunks. She’d be up in front of a “human rights” commission in no time!
ET: “As we all point out, 90% of our MSM are leftists; they are primarily Liberals.”
That’s a given, I know. Silly me. I expect some professionalism in this group, that they should be capable of setting their prejudices and biases aside in order to offer the Canadian public pertinent information ON ALL POLITICAL PARTIES in a professional manner.
It’s a vain hope. That the members of the MSM are so transparent in being partisan hacks and could care less that we all know it reveals just how far into the swamp Canada has descended.
I can’t think of a better time for all of us to learn how to pray. It never hurts!
