Weblog Awards: 3 Days Left

Voting continues on the 2005 Weblog Awards - now that I'm back, I've moved the link to the sidebar.

Ironically, I have no idea where SDA stands in the polling for Best Canadian Blog, as the Micromedia flash required is incompatable with my linux os. In the meantime, this belated endorsement of other blogs who are up for consideration in a few other categories!

Best Blog: This is a toughie, as I can make a case for so many. But on the basis of his breaking the Brault testimony publication ban, I'm endorsing Captain's Quarters this year.

Best Humor: This one is easy for me, though Jeff could easily compete in a number of other categories equally - Protein Wisdom!

Best Conservative: Leaning towards The Jawa Report this year.

Best Journalist: No question - Michael Yon.

Culture/Gossip: Going Canadian with this one with Ghost of A Flea

Best UK: Normblog

Best European: I have a split decision with this one. Davids Medienkritik (Germany) and Publius

Best of the top 250 - My "blogfather", Outside The Beltway, of course!

I may add a few others as I get time to peruse the categories more closely. In the meantime, remember, one vote per day, and keep SDA in your thoughts for Best Canadian.

The Conservatives play the Fiberal game ...

[excerpt]
Stephen Harper is promising that the Conservative party would dole out day-care money directly to Canadian parents.

Under a Tory child-care strategy, individual families would be able to choose how they would utilize the day-care dollars they receive from the government -- intended to give parents more choice compared to the Liberals' plan.

Not bad: only 397 errors.

To bad that Harper has to move so far to the left to establish his political credentials in this country. The 'Mulroney Tapes' were bang on in their criticism of the Canadian press. As these politicans are fighting to spend tax surplusses the real issue goes unasked; What is this country going to do when the mineral and commodity boom peters out? The only economic strategy we have appears to be selling our resources for the top $. The economists I read are saying that these resources will continue a long term deflationary trend, recent pricing is a blip. Our core manufacturing base in Ont & Que is highly subsidized and still shrinking! Let's forget about all that nasty detail and debate Harper's new haircut or whether Martin is putting on weight!

Four men were bragging about how smart their cats were.

The first man was an Engineer.
The second man was an Accountant.
The third man was a Chemist.
The fourth man was a Government of Canada Employee.

To show off, the Engineer called his cat,
"T-square, do your stuff."
T-square pranced over to the desk, took out some
paper and pen and promptly drew a circle, a square,
and a triangle. Everyone agreed that was pretty smart.

But the Accountant said his cat could do better.
He called his cat and said,
"Spreadsheet, do your stuff."
Spreadsheet went out to the kitchen and returned
with a dozen cookies. He divided them into 4 equal piles
of 3 cookies.............Everyone agreed that was good.

But the Chemist said his cat could do better. He called his
cat and said,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Measure, do your stuff."
Measure got up, walked to the fridge, took out a quart of
milk,, got a 10 ounce glass from the cupboard and poured
exactly 8 ounces without spilling a drop into the glass.
Everyone agreed that was pretty good.

Then the three men turned to the Government Employee
and said, "What can your cat do?"
The Government Employee called his cat and said,,,,,
"CoffeeBreak,,,,do your stuff."
CoffeeBreak jumped to his feet,,,,,,,,,,,

ate the cookies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

drank the milk,,,,,,,,,

shit on the paper,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

screwed the other three cats,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

claimed he injured his back while doing so,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

filed a grievance report for unsafe working conditions,,,

put in for Workers Compensation...............and

went home for the rest of the day on sick leave.............

=================================================
Khadr lawyer says passport denial violates rights
(Canadian Press)

TORONTO � A prominent Toronto civil rights lawyer says Ottawa's decision to deny Abdurahman Khadr a Canadian passport is a violation of his Charter rights.

Khadr's lawyer, Clayton Ruby, is asking a Federal Court judge to overturn the decision and issue his client a passport.
==================================================

Give the guy a passport with conditions: that he takes Ruby with him and that they never return.

I'd save him time and money - just deport him at his own expense. Walk or fly or take the bus -makes no difference.

MAN JAILED FOR FOUR DAYS FOR JUST CRITICIZING PAUL MARTIN!

What's this, iron-fisted crackdown on the man's Charter rights?

Where the hell is the MSM?

Something is wrong with the voting site. I can only vote once and when I check back, the numbers seem to have changed!

We need to let Lorne know that something is wrong.

Maybe he can get the values fixed at the proper levels that were established before everyone to vote and skew the results.

I couldn't resist!

The man arrested for critizing Martini was charged for redundancy.

Posted by: Duke at December 6, 2005 8:21 PM

Prime Minister Paul Martin, Finance Minister Ralph Goodale, and Revenue Minister John McCallum are flying on the Executive Airbus to a gathering in British Columbia when Martin turns to Goodale and says, chuckling, "You know, I could throw a $1000 bill out the window right now and make someone very happy."
Goodale shrugs and replies, "Well, I could throw ten $100 bills out the window and make ten people happy."
Not to be outdone, McCallum says, "Well I could throw a hundred $10 bills out the window and make a hundred people happy."
The pilot rolls his eyes and says to his co-pilot, "Such arrogant asses back there. Hell, I could throw all three of them out the window and make millions of people happy."

Well, at least we can be assured that the Screecher won't win re-election. This could be a good thing for Conservatives if dealt with properly.

Kate, you're only 5000 votes behind the "Paul Martin is God" blog.

Kate, when I last checked (about two minutes ago), your blog was leading the Best Canadian Blog award with 1132 votes. Second place is AGWN with 558.
