I can't believe the circus this is becoming. I particularly enjoyed the cries of foul over a letter sent to PMSH that he claimed he never saw. Interestingly, Taliban Jack Layton received the the same letter at the same time! Of course, the MSM didn't find Taliban Jack's letter to be news worthy.

"Mulroney has insisted he did nothing wrong. Schreiber did say on Thursday there was nothing illegal about his dealings with Mulroney." CTV Newsnet

I think that this whole deal is nothing more than desperation; Schreiber is desperate to avoid his court date in Germany and the opposition is desperate for dirt to sling at the Conservatives. But, the mastermind behind this is not Schreiber or Mulroney or any of the Opposition PMs, it is PMSH. Steve is letting this circus go on because he is not directly involved and when it becomes clear to the public that it is a circus and waste of taxpayer money, the opposition PMs will be left holding the bag.

Sperm donor pays maintenance to lesbians

A sperm donor who helped a lesbian couple have two children is now being forced to pay thousands of pounds for their upbringing, he said.

Andy Bathie, 37, agreed to assist Sharon and Terri Arnold - who were united in a religious blessing ceremony - after they assured him he would have no involvement in raising the boy and girl.

But after the couple split up he was tracked down by the Child Support Agency and forced to make regular maintenance payments....

The remarkable example of a duckbilled dinosaur is in such good condition, with its skin almost entirely intact, that it has already challenged standard theories about the creatures’ shape, size and movement.

It could yet, however, offer still greater insight into the evolution and biology of the dinosaurs, if hints that organic matter has been preserved are confirmed. Such samples could allow scientists to study dinosaur proteins and even DNA, providing unprecedented clues to their life cycle and development.

Via Veiled4Allah: Flogging a Dead Teddy Bear

...Firstly, having had the dubious honour of attending the said institution (the choice of ‘well heeled’ Sudanese and expat children) for some time due to one of my father’s random diplomatic postings, I am aware that there has always existed an uneasy truce between the highly Westernised elite that chose to send their children to the school and local government authorities who resented the very existence of such an elite and their access to the admittedly exceptional education the school offered. Were it not for the ironic fact that high ranking government officials mostly sent their children to the school, the co-existence would have been much more challenging.

There were several instances where expat teachers were be vaporised due to public displays of drunkenness. Parents who lapsed in their fee payments sometimes resorted to the local authorities to plead their case against the exorbitant unregulated fee structure and sometimes, managed to keep their children at the school by bullying the school administration which comprised mainly of British expats eager not to incur the wrath of the temperamental government. This background is important when judging the actions of the government as totally randomly barbaric.

In addition, the existing government in Sudan has always been prickly, obstreperous and wont to childish displays of inferiority complexes....

I enjoyed the link. Heather Mallik has a future in unintended comedy. She begins with:

I hate picking on women. We're born at a disadvantage and in our wild flailing to stay afloat, we make such easy targets.

Makes me want to weep for poor Heather. She then goes on to disparage her sisters as "puck bunnies". I can only assume that while she hates picking on women she's not above doing it.

Heather then goes on to describe her conversation with Dave Ready of the Sens Foundation which is matching the funding raised by the puck bunnies.

She offers him a lesson in following website links and questions the non-profit status of First Place. Heather's conclusion:

Revenue Canada tells me that First Place is not a registered charity.

But the best part of the whole thing is the editors note at the bottom regarding site links and non-profit status.

Editor's note: Ms. Mallick clearly states that Revenue Canada told her First Place is not a registered charity. Links on the website's donation section show that it operates under a different name as a registered charity: Crisis Pregnancy Centre of Ottawa, registered as number 890251382RR0001.

So this makes the whole premise of Heather's article bullshit.

From a speech to Dutch Parliament by the only sane politician they have:

"Mr Wilders’s contribution to the parliamentary debate on Islamic activism."

zaterdag 29 september 2007
Thursday, 6 September 2007

Madam Speaker, allow me, first, to express my sincere thanks to you personally for having planned a debate on Islam on the very day of my birthday. I could not have wished for a nicer present!
Madam Speaker, approximately 1400 years ago war was declared on us by an ideology of hate and violence which arose at the time and was proclaimed by a barbarian who called himself the Prophet Mohammed. I am referring to Islam.

Madam Speaker, let me start with the foundation of the Islamic faith, the Koran. The Koran’s core theme is about the duty of all Muslims to fight non-Muslims; an Islamic Mein Kampf, in which fight means war, jihad. The Koran is above all a book of war – a call to butcher non-Muslims (2:191, 3:141, 4:91, 5:3), to roast them (4:56, 69:30-69:32), and to cause bloodbaths amongst them (47:4). Jews are compared to monkeys and pigs (2:65, 5:60, 7:166), while people who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God must according to the Koran be fought (9:30).

Madam Speaker, I acknowledge that there are people who call themselves Muslims and who respect our laws. My party, the Freedom Party, has nothing against such people, of course. However, the Koran does have something against them. For it is stated in the Koran in Sura 2, verse 85, that those believers who do not believe in everything the Koran states will be humiliated and receive the severest punishment; which means that they will roast in Hell. In other words, people who call themselves Muslims but who do not believe, for example, in Sura 9, verse 30, which states that Jews and Christians must be fought, or, for example, in Sura 5, verse 38, which states that the hand of a thief must be cut off, such people will be humiliated and roast in Hell. Note that it is not me who is making this up. All this can be found in the Koran. The Koran also states that Muslims who believe in only part of the Koran are in fact apostates, and we know what has to happen to apostates. They have to be killed.

Madam Speaker, the Koran is a book that incites to violence. I remind the House that the distribution of such texts is unlawful according to Article 132 of our Penal Code. In addition, the Koran incites to hatred and calls for murder and mayhem. The distribution of such texts is made punishable by Article 137(e). The Koran is therefore a highly dangerous book; a book which is completely against our legal order and our democratic institutions. In this light, it is an absolute necessity that the Koran be banned for the defence and reinforcement of our civilisation and our constitutional state. I shall propose a second-reading motion to that effect.

The whole speech can and should be read here:

I laughed but I'll refrain from commenting on this one.

Is Robert Latimer actually out on parole? I am so glad; his trial and sentence was, in my view, an absolute outrage, a total miscarriage of the idea of mercy and justice.

Suzanne, your simple post hides the real issues behind the case. Don't ignore these real issues and their facts - the fact that Tracy, his daughter's medical situation had worsened to a state where her bones were actually disintegrating, where her pain couldn't be managed by painkillers because these affected her breathing and seizures, the fact that the proposed operation meant further pain (not during the operation) but post-operation and would not stop the disintegration of her body.

No-one would allow an animal to endure such trauma and pain. To allow people whom one loves to endure it is unacceptable.

The issue of her being 'handicapped' was totally irrelevant to the facts of her body disintegration and pain - and yet, the handicapped activists sabotaged the trial, turning it into an emotional guilt trip around the 'rights of the handicapped in our society'.

So- if he's out on bail, I'm very glad. He should never have been sent to prison. When I think of the women who have actively rejected and murdered their children, and have gotten off by pleading 'postpartum depression' etc - and compare it with the crisis faced by Latimer with their daughter - well, our justice system needs to do some thinking.

Shaw Cable is disgusted and I am shocked..

Tax Billion$ wasted?? In Canada? G*wan..
That is Billion$ with a *B*, not mere millions.

**The Canadian Television Fund was created to help promote and develop quality TV programming in Canada. Somewhere along the line, the CTF lost their way. They have spent $2.5 billion dollars, with little to show for it, funnelling millions towards promoting quality Canadian programming without actually achieving this goal.

How did this happen? Who made the decisions to spend billions of your dollars to achieve so little? How is this money accounted for and who is responsible for such meagre results?

We all should be held accountable — from the boardroom table to the kitchen table — for how other people's money is spent.

At Shaw, we believe television should entertain, inform, inspire and make you think. We support the development of original Canadian programming that reflects this great country of ours.

We also believe that the money provided by Canadians should be managed, accounted for and spent wisely. Otherwise, this great opportunity will be wasted.

We need a better way to create quality Canadian programming. The CTF is broken and can't be fixed. You deserve better.**

ET: re: Latimer. I struggled with that one. However, I think your argument is very sound and convincing. A good analogy vis a vis mothers with post partum depression killing their babies and getting off scot-free.

The "rights of the handicapped" was a paint-by-numbers non argument in the Latimer case. Another example of advocacy "justice" which it usually isn't.

Your grasp of the facts and context of Robert Latimer's case are bang on. I would like to point out something regarding his incarceration and parole considerations.

Robert Latimer is within a few months of 2/3rds. of his 10 yr. sentence. "Mandatory Supervision" dictates that he must be released unless a dangerous offender designation is being sought.

He has done all his time....largely because he would not admit he did anything wrong.

That man has lived with a degree of integrity that escapes all but a few.

Welcome back Mr. Latimer.

Syncro

I also agree with ET's commentary re the Latimer case. I was originally shocked when it was suggested that this was about his child's disability, rather than her acute pain. I thought this did a diservice to both Latimer and all disabled people. Having said that, please do not use the plight and failure to prosecute women with postpartum depression as a measure of the unfairness of Latimer's situation. These are both sad, sad situations and I do not believe that most of us are qualified to judge either one.

NYC Murders Drop, Democrats Call for Cop Pull Out

LindaL - yes, I agree, your comments on postpartum depression are very valid; it's a chemical imbalance, and the results can indeed be severe.

I was, albeit inefficiently, trying to make an analogy where the same action (death of the child) can be viewed as irrelevant or highly criminal. But, a point not to be ignored is that in a fair number of cases, the state of postpartum depression is not clinically confirmed but alleged by the Defence Lawyer. And it works; the courts are afraid to convict even if there is no proof. A man doesn't have such a defense available to him.

However, Latimer never claimed any defense (ie, insanity, imbalance, etc). His only claim was that he, as a parent who loved his daughter, could no longer stand to watch her increasing agony as her physical body disintegrated; he didn't see how he could put this child through more agony and pain with yet another operation, one which would result in more pain. It was a situation which was without hope and without amelioration.

So, finally, he's out. But, our justice system failed him and failed his daughter. It's a terrible situation to be in - to watch one's child in agony, an agony that is without hope for any betterment, and yet, still be bound by the sanctity of life and love for that child. And to leave such a decision up to the individual alone - a dreadful situation. But the 'quality of mercy' and the right to be merciful, has to exist in our lives.

Now if all this is true,Fife has been known to be wrong, how are the libs and media going to spin it so that it sticks to Harper.

Angus Reid Poll re gun registry:

http://rm.angusreidforum.com/?cid=964&rs=GREnGg

96% don't think it works...I'm convinced!

With sagacity reminiscent of a white washed sepulchre and the puerile logic of a venomous asp, ET justifies the extermination of a beautiful young woman. A young lady who loved the colours of a rainbow, who would become enraptured by the gossamer wings of the butterfly that had just brushed against her cheek, and was fascinated by the beauty of ribbons an bows. With all the compassion of the most vile eugenicist ET excuses the actions of a man who took his helpless daughter put her in nearest gas chamber and opened the valve on a long slow painful death.

What great and noble cause did this sordid act advance? What purpose did it serve? With all the wealth of this land, with all the societal supports available, with all the friends and relatives ready, willing and able to provide respite care we are supposed to excuse a man killed his daughter in a manner moral people restrict to the eradication of vermin.

Who is so worthy that they shall determine who shall live and who must die. Some ideologically driven despot? Some elitist who by power of superior intellect so determines? Shall we who are “whole” decree that those who do not meet our lofty perfection be flushed like an over ripe turd?

This I know, “A society that fails to protect its most vulnerable no longer belongs in the ranks of the civilized.”

Oh well, one can think of Latimer's conviction as delayed retribution for his rape conviction of 1974. He, and another man, were convicted of raping a 15 yr old girl when Latimer was 21. The rape conviction was overturned on appeal because the trial judge hadn't allowed sufficient examination of the girl's previous sexual history.

So, he's a rapist and a murderer.

http://www.nrlc.org/news/2001/NRL03/latimer.html

And ET proves why no Gaia worshipper ought to be involved in moral decisions of any kind.

joe and ol hoss - get stuffed. With facts. Not romantic rubbish.

The daughter was long past being even capable of enrapture with butterflies. She was in continual outrageous physical agony. Justify that type of life in your santimonious self-glorification.

Justify torture. Justify allowing a loved one to live, without remedy, in agony. Justify it.

Justify 'protecting' someone to live, 24 hours a day, in agony. Justify how that is 'protecting the most vulnerable'. Justify torture, justify insisting, for your sanctimonious self, that another person endure torture. Go on. Do it.

And don't give me that bullshit about 'long slow painful death'. Carbon monoxide poisoning is painless.

As for the rape charge, it was dropped. End of story. And, it has nothing to do with this situation.

I defer to your infinite IQ ET. I was just quoting what people who had met and interacted with the girl said. Obviously you know better. According to the medical profession, who obviously know so much less than you, what was required to aleviate the pain was the removal of part of the femur kind of like what they do for hip replacements. For your sake I hope that should you ever need a hip replacement your caregiver doesn't take you out behind the barn and gas you like an infestation of rats.

A society that fails to protect its most vulnerable no longer belongs in the ranks of the civilized.

That's interesting, joe. I was just quoting what people who had met and interacted with the girl said as well. Her condition had deteriorated badly over the past two years.

And I was quoting her doctors, who said that the operation wasn't 'all' that was necessary; that there was no solution because her bones were distintegrating; that the operation's aftermath would increase her pain; that she was unable to tolerate more than Tylenol, which didn't ease the pain, because of her anti-convulsant drugs.

You haven't answered my questions; Do you support torture? Do you support permitting a loved one to live in agony? Answer - and enough with the sanctimonious talk. Live in the real world and answer: Do you support torture?

Nor did you answer mine: Who shall determine when someone else's life is no longer worth living?

As for your question suffering and torture are two entirely different things. Our job is to alleviate not eliminate suffering.

ET, I'm sorry you're in so much pain over this. Perhaps you should be euthanized.
