Students at a local school were assigned to read 2 books, "Titanic" & "My Life" by Bill Clinton.

One student turned in the following book report, with the proposition that they were nearly identical stories!

His cool professor gave him an A+ for this report:

Titanic:...... Cost - $29.99
Clinton :..... Cost - $29.99

Titanic:..... Over 3 hours to read
Clinton :.... Over 3 hours to read

Titanic:..... The story of Jack and Rose, their forbidden love, and
subsequent catastrophe.
Clinton :..... The story of Bill and Monica, their forbidden love, and
subsequent catastrophe.

Titanic:...... Jack is a starving artist.
Clinton :..... Bill is a bullshit artist.

Titanic:...... In one scene, Jack enjoys a good cigar.
Clinton :..... Ditto for Bill.

Titanic:...... During the ordeal, Rose's dress gets ruined.
Clinton :..... Ditto for Monica.

Titanic:..... Jack teaches Rose to spit.
Clinton :..... Let's not go there.

Titanic:..... Rose gets to keep her jewelry.
Clinton :.....Monica's forced to return her gifts.

Titanic:....... Rose remembers Jack for the rest of her life.
Clinton :..... Clinton doesn't remember Jack.

Titanic:...... Rose goes down on a vessel full of seamen.
Clinton :..... Monica...ooh, let's not go there, either.

Titanic:..... Jack surrenders to an icy death.
Clinton :.... Bill goes home to Hilary - basically the same thing.

What will Stephane Dion do about Blair Wilson?

The allegations of financial mismanagement and electoral malfeasance being made against Liberal MP Blair Wilson are serious and apparently supported by documentation in addition to eyewitness accounts. Already people are speaking to the issue of whether Blair Wilson is even fit for office.

Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion was badly burned by the Jamie Carroll incident. How will Dion react to the emerging Blair Wilson controversy? [...]

But here's a prediction. Stephane Dion will move quickly on this. He's been burned before and burned badly in part because of delays that have been cast as examples of indecsion or of poor judgment. Not this time, and not for Blair Wilson. He'll be out of the shadow cabinet, and quite possibly out of caucus, in very short order, "pending the resolution of these baseless accusations", or something along these lines.

So what makes me think this will break this way?

I wonder why it took Harper so long to find his way to Valcartier, and why he chose that particular night.
Might be a pathetic political use of the Afstan mission.

By the way, Gen. Rick Hillyer was at the Press Gallery Dinner. But he's already been to Valcartier quite a few times.

80 Taliban said killed in U.S.-led battle in southern Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan - U.S.-led coalition forces killed about 80 Taliban fighters during a six-hour battle outside a Taliban-controlled town in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, the latest in a series of increasingly bloody engagements in the region, officials said.

The battle near Musa Qala in Helmand province - the world's largest poppy growing region - is at least the fifth major fight in the area since Sept. 1. The five battles have killed more than 250 Taliban fighters, a possible sign that U.S. or British forces could be trying to wrest the area back from Taliban militants.

The latest fight began when Taliban fighters attacked a combined U.S. coalition and Afghan patrol with rockets and gunfire, prompting the combined force to call in attack aircraft, which resulted in "almost seven dozen Taliban fighters killed," the U.S.-led coalition said in a statement early Sunday.

The coalition said that four bombs were dropped on a trench line filled with Taliban fighters, resulting in most of the deaths.

The coalition said it killed about 50 militants in two days of fighting in Musa Qala Oct. 19-20, and that it killed more than 100 fighters there on Sept. 26. ...-

jason reads a news piece about the leader of the SaskParty kicking out a candidate for potential impropriety WITHOUT having to be shamed into doing so. jason can't understand why a multi-faceted blogger doesn't post on this.

jason doesn't realize that SDA isn't a news organization.

Dippers (presumably jason is one) are not very bright.

Surprising? No.

Kate, take a look, you've made it to Instapundit this afternoon, a link to your Pajama Media article. Good on you, girl.

Yes, Good on Kate! (Instapundit link to her Sask election piece).

Excellent piece which perfectly captured the zeitgeist which is usually missing in most of this kind of writing. The horror of becoming another Alberta was especially amusing as was the observation that the Sask party was only very slightly to the right of the NDP, or slightly less centre left! Also made me feel a whole lot less guilty for how crushingly boring and pointless I find provincial electoral politics. Well, federal and municipal too, come to think of it. Ala Andrew Coyne's cogent observation.

Jason, honey - What Eeyore said. I don't even post on all the news items about me.

Jason, honey. LOL.

yeah, you're just a selective blogger who chooses your very skewed opinion to minimize the coverage of things that should be covered because you're too scared of the truth.

as for Eeyore's comments, Brad wasn't ashamed into kicking him out?

Please! He only dropped his candidate once the news media got wind of this story. It's so obvious it's hilarious.

All the attacks on the MSM on this blog and yet - whoa, look at that, the SDA blog won't bother covering a major development in the election campaign!

p.s. thanks for calling me honey, Kate. I am a very sweet individual; all my friends think so, and apparently, even my enemies!

hey Jason, it will all be over soon. thankfully you don't have far to go to get another job, MANITOBA. LOL

"yeah, you're just a selective blogger..."

One thing you have to say for these lefties - they're slow, but they eventually catch on.

Can anybody tell me why there is so much Union work in evil right wing Alberta and very little in Sask? Just a thought.

Well, AJ, I'm glad to see someone on SDA defend freedom of choice.
And, yes, the GG was a suck for not showing. Certainly she had nothing better to do.

No doubt this is one of the 'star' candidates encouraged by our inept liberal organizers. When leadership of the Liberals change, so too will the qualityof the candidates. But for now, Stephane Dion's advisors do not know the difference between a 'star' and a donkey, often called another name.

It is reasons such as this that the Liberal Party of Canada must be completely crushed and destroyed. Until it is, this is the kind of people that Liberals attract as candidates. Will Dion be a leader and dump this clown? Or will he be invited to look after the Liberal Party finances?

Andrew, guess what ... the organization's web page is now "unavailable". Obviously they have had a lot of traffic recently ... hahahaha!!! And the thing is, the traffic is not a DOS attack, but individual Canadians telling them to EFF OFF, or, as I was going to do: Point out that one must prove one's identity to vote.

If I were a returning officer (and I have been) then the first burka person I would allow to vote; the second and subsequent burka people I would refuse on the grounds that they had already voted.

This will stand up in court.

Brad Wall is a really nice guy. So is Harper. So was Devine.So was Mulroney. They were all really nice guys so we were told. What happened? Just a misunderstanding?

it's your blog, and no one ever stopped you from posting whatever crap you want. hey, I can choose not to read it!

the funny thing is how the right believes it's fine to attack the intelligence of people who disagree with these opinions instead of attacking the ideas.

bullying is so playground, but I guess you believe the net is your playground to hide behind your words.

doesn't change the fact that your party seems to be fine with running harassers as candidates, knowingly, because you actually don't really care about the ideas that you purport to back.

now: onto other topics, and things to do on sunday evenings...

You can choose not to read it Jason?

Apparently not.

Parliamentary Press Gallery dinner was featured on Jane Taber and Oliver's program. They had a clip of Dion. I think he was really awful, but they did not dis him, for which I am glad. He was the only leader to actually stick his neck out and present something. I really don't think it came off particularly well, but he does not deserve to be ridiculed for his effort. I think it is time to rethink the premise of this event. We don't elect politicians for their comedic skills and I think the event trivializes what it is they are attempting to accomplish. I am glad that Harper, the GG and others choose not to participate on this occasion. It is time for the media to evaulate the purpose of this event and perhaps move on to something more meaningful.

jason, dude, it's obvious you're kinda slow, so in response:

"it's your blog, and no one ever stopped you from posting whatever crap you want." You're right on that one, it is KATE'S blog...she'll blog about what interests HER, not necessarily what interests YOU...if she blogged about what interested YOU, it would be your blog, wouldn't it.

"hey, I can choose not to read it!" Then please do so.

"the funny thing is how the right believes it's fine to attack the intelligence of people who disagree with these opinions instead of attacking the ideas" Please go read Babble or Canadian Cynic or Kinsella and then try to make that same comment without lying through your teeth. There is a propensity for ALL to attack the intelligence of their opponent rather than their position...it's easier (and more fun, at times).

"bullying is so playground, but I guess you believe the net is your playground to hide behind your words" How can you possibly assert that Kate is bullying? How can you possibly assert that any commenter here is bullying? The definition of bullying is "...using strength and power to coerce others by fear; persecute or oppress by force or threats..."; truly, you don't know what you're talking about. You and those like you are being ridiculed, not bullied.

"doesn't change the fact that your party seems to be fine with running harassers as candidates, knowingly, because you actually don't really care about the ideas that you purport to back" 1) It is NOT Kate's party...she has soundly criticized them...they are probably more accurately described as being the best of a bad lot. 2) The party has kicked out the "harasser" when they found out. 3) The "harassee" apparently felt that the matter was satisfactorily settled...so with you, I take it is "one strike and you're out of the game forever"?

Dude, EVERYTHING YOU SAID WAS FOOLISH. You are only displaying your foolishness here...do yourself a favour and turn tail and run.

Blair Wilson resigns from the Liberal Party caucus

Commenter said:

"One of our problems, especially under the Liberal dispensation, is that there were far too many "regulatory bodies," as you call them, created and "policed" under the auspices of Liberal appointees, largely to hamper the Libs' political opponents. The "Librano$" tag hasn't stuck to this party by chance. And the "bully" tag rightly belongs to the party of the Chretien hug, Alphonso Gagliano, and brown envelopes full of cash showing up in Quebec Italian restaurants.

Follow them if this is what you like." ...-
